Trained to Kill: How Police Training Denied the Complex Innocence of Antonio Zambrano-Montes

In collaboration with The Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Duke and UNC, The Latina/o Studies Program, and the Critical Ethnic Studies Collaborative, Dr. Lisa Marie Cacho examined the police shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes, an undocumented Latino immigrant who was throwing rocks when he was shot.
