I remember the April day two years ago when Sanderia Faye posted to Facebook her account of a bizarre encounter with the Dallas Police, waking up to officers banging on the bedroom door in her townhouse. The novelist and SMU professor (and regular contributor to our summer microfiction series) opened her bedroom to see an officer with an assault rifle pointed at her. They’d kicked in the door to her home.

In the wake of the killing of Breonna Taylor, Sanderia tells her own story of police abuse for The New Yorkerhere.
