ANALYSIS: The Mirage of Police Oversight

North of 9/11 and twenty years on

What have we learned since 9/11?

Maybe it was the Muslim prayer beads hanging on the rearview mirror, maybe it was the medical bag in the front seat with his father’s name on it–Mohammed–maybe somebody had seen him in the car and thought “that guy looks Arab.” It was impossible to know exactly what motivated the attack.
