Rubber bullets, tear gas, flash bombs are normally words that you hear to describe army tactics in war. In the book, Ain't No Justice in This Town, those are the words that author Aprile Hearn uses to describe her encounters of how police officers responded to protesters in the city of Louisville, Kentucky after the death of Breonna Taylor. 
 
Most people can't imagine American civilians who are practicing their first amendment rights being mishandled with excessive force—but through the eyes of activist Aprile Hearn that is exactly what happened. 
 
While there is no way to describe all of the violent incidents by law enforcement and counter protesters that occurred during the uprising of 2020, Ain't No Justice in This Town tells the story of several moments where regular citizens were treated inhumanely.
