Cop City Swagger

Beschreibung

A finalist for the 2025 Vancouver Book Award! Investigating whose safety really matters in the most expensive city in the nation, cop city swagger conducts a threat assessment of Vancouver's police. Holding close lived and living connections to the Downtown Eastside and Chinatown neighbourhoods, Eng juxtaposes the police's and the city's institutional rhetoric with their acts of violence against marginalized people, presenting a panoramic media montage of structural harm and community care.
