To better understand police shootings and racial disparities in the social justice system, Rosa Brooks became a reserve police officer in Washington DC, when she was a tenured law professor in her 40’s.  Her mother, writer and leftist activist Barbara Ehrenreich, disapproved. On the next Fresh Air, Terry Gross talks with Brooks about her new memoir. Join us.
