Matt Taibbi, Author of I Can't Breathe; A Killing on Bay Street

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Matt Taibbi, Author of  I Can't Breathe; A Killing on Bay Street.

I CAN’T BREATHE takes the reader to Bay Street before Garner’s death, introducing us to friends, family, rivals – and Garner himself. Taibbi traces the history of gentrification and policing as it intersects with Garner’s personal narrative. Weeks after Garner's death, two New York City police officers were killed by a young black man from Maryland, in what he claimed was revenge for Garner's death. Those killings in turn led to police protests, clashes with New York's new liberal mayor.

MATT TAIBBI, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Divide, Griftopia, and The Great Derangement, is a contributing editor for Rolling Stone and winner of the 2008 National Magazine Award for columns and com­mentary.
