Michael Hayes�uncovered a�major story�in 2018 about how the�New York Police Department�was not only turning a�blind�eye�to�police misconduct, but also allowing hundreds of�officers with severe misconduct�charges to�remain on the force. Hayes takes readers inside�decades of police corruption�and�controversial laws, chronicling the stories of the families and activists who have had enough. Hold the Line makes a compelling case for the�limits of reform�in the aftermath of the major�Black Lives Matter�rallies following the�murder of George Floyd�and growing calls to�defund the police.
