Additional Details

Azim Thomas is a New York based photographer who has been following and recording cases involving the use of excess force by the police in the New York area for over twenty years. In that time he has covered the cases of Yusuf Hawkins, Anthony Baez, Anthony Rosario, Hilton Vega, Kenneth Banks, Amadou Diallo, Malcolm Ferguson, Ousmane Zongo, Alberta Sprull, John White, Sean Bell, and Ramarley Graham. The photograph you see here is a photomontage of scenes from the protests that followed these incidents. We have been reminded of all of these incidents following the events in Ferguson, MO, this past summer. It is unfortunate indeed that scenes like these have become all too prevalent in recent years.
