“Police Brutality”

“Police Brutality”

That is the name of  my book.

I invite all who are interested to come to a meeting. We will discuss relations between the police and the people, the effects of police violence, and its relations to many other issues – like housing, the homeless, and the nature of free speech.

I do not make a case for cahoots. What I analyze is the police culture that can be brutal, and think that it moves toward their own end goal. I analyze local videos, local witnesses, and the ideas of ordinary people. I don’t listen to the cops.

There are three big issues that drop out of this analysis:

1-      Police operations that should be peaceful (like calls by people needing help), end up with someone killed (shot, tased, strangled, etc.).

2-      The secret issue of race and white supremacy; the police means of fostering racialization through their brutality.

3-      Torture is not for information; the police want servitude or obeisance.

­

Bring your ideas, your experience, your critiques, and join us.

The book will be available at the meeting.

Or, you can get it at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or Xlibris
