Although the ordeal was heartbreaking, it was also a catalyst for addressing broader issues of injustice; “Your case is just the tip of the iceberg,” Mr. Thompson says at a meeting, with Laura nodding in agreement. “We have exposed a larger problem,” he adds, as the community begins to mobilize for significant changes in policing policies. Activists are using my story as a fulcrum for broader protests and demands for transparency, and the momentum is now unmistakable.
