ISBN: 9780140233704.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Christmas Day, 1987, a black man named Loyal Garner, Jr., drove down the wrong road in East Texas and was pulled over by a white police chief. He was taken to jail, beaten unconscious, and hospitalized - after officers came up with a cover story. Although witnesses swore that he was murdered, the policemen were summarily acquitted by a hometown jury. Only after prosecutors in another county wrested control of the case was justice served. In Deliberate Indifference an award-winning investigative journalist tells a true story that resembles a cross between the plot of Mississippi Burning and a frontline report from Daryl Gatess L.A. With a meticulous attention to detail, Howard Swindle extends his inquiry beyond Garners murder to probe the poisoned heart of American racial injustice. Deliberate Indifference is a profoundly disturbing investigation of sanctioned murder and a miscarriage of justice that brings home hard truths about Americas stubborn legacy of racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948489601077,"sku":"ByrdShop_0140233709","price":58.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780140233704_f258fb2e-af76-4bbb-a1e2-5632f2a48b33.jpg?v=1778737379","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deliberate-indifference-a-story-of-racial-injustice-and-murder-9780140233704","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
