With the issue of police brutality at the forefront of American consciousness, it seems like just about everyone has an opinion. But few can provide the unique perspective of Joseph Ested, an African American law-enforcement officer.
As a child growing up in a low-income urban area, Ested experienced police brutality and racist law enforcement techniques firsthand. Later, as a law enforcement professional himself, he gained an inside perspective on how the culture of police departments encourages—in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways—the culture of violence and racism infecting the institution of American policing.
For the first time, we get the truth about police violence from an insider. Ested explains how this violence springs from institutionalized racism and a criminal justice system that targets minorities while it profits from crime.
From the excessive use of force and gang-style intimidation tactics to departments sending minority officers to patrol the most dangerous neighborhoods, this is a firsthand look into the bigotry entrenched in police departments across the nation.
Thanks to Ested’s exclusive insights, this book can help us all better understand this destructive pattern and hopefully put an end to police brutality once and for all.
