Most Americans have a stereotypical, outdated, and mostly Hollywood-induced notion about Police Officers and Police work. Some citizens even foolishly base their perception of Law Enforcement on the word of career criminals. Unfortunately, citizens respond to or interact with Police based on those aforementioned inaccurate notions and often find themselves in deep, painful, and expensive legal trouble. The Covenant with Black America attempted to offer African-Americans suggestions on how to build better relations with Law Enforcement. Sadly, The Covenant widely missed the mark and only offered one-sided information that will only serve to further alienate the two sides. Black and Blue brings out the broad sword of truth and offers citizens a frank and honest look at modern policing in America and what citizens can do to build better a relationship with Law Enforcement. Using actual police cases and incidents, Black and Blue boldly explains high risk police operations such as Zero Tolerance Task Force and Police Use of Force. Black and Blue also addresses community-sensitive issues such as Racial Profiling, Community Oriented Policing, Cultural Sensitivity, and the basic thought process of the officers that patrol your communities. Black and Blue is the answer to every citizen’s quest for a realistic guide to police operations, police authority, and the truth about how and why criminals are targeted. Armed with this information, communities can begin to build better working relationships with their Law Enforcement agencies. |
