Cover Story: When Rochester, NY Police Officer Michael Leach shot and killed 18-year-old Denise Hawkins in 1975, he set off a chain of violent events that reverberated for decades. In the wake of her death, her family joined with the Black Community Coalition and civil rights attorney William Kunstler to shine a national spotlight on the problems of policing in Rochester, NY. Despite efforts to establish civilian oversight and reform policing in the wake of Hawkins death, little changed. By 1980, her husband and son had both tragically died as well. Then, in 2011, Leach shot and killed his own son, mistaking him for an intruder, and blamed untreated PTSD from his killing of Hawkins as a rookie cop. This case study shows that patterns of police violence affect everyone—and the radical change required to prevent police violence stands to benefit everyone. View this paper
