Some Brooklyn artists have taken a creative route to express their frustrations regarding police brutality.
Published in October, "Artists against Police Brutality" is a comic book anthology that tells the history of police violence in America through a series of stories and images.
Jason Scott Jones, one of the contributors to the book, says each artist chose his or her own way of contributing to the project.
"I created a character called Bulletproof Black, and that's my way of telling the story. Some people created futuristic stories, some people created historical stories," Jones says.
The book is available online. All proceeds from it will go to the Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting legal injustice.
