The author goes on to explore how such prejudices can be addressed. He reveals the dangers and temptations that cops face, describing in detail the split-second life-and-death decisions that police officers make each day. The author draws on lessons learned to present arguments for drug decriminalization, abolition of the death penalty, and radically revised approaches to prostitution and gun control. He offers penetrating insights into the "blue wall of silence," police undercover work, and what it means to kill a man. And, he gives his personal account of the World Trade Organization debacle of 1999, when protests he was in charge of controlling turned violent in the streets of Seattle. 650 0 $a Police $z United States. 650 0 $a Police $x Job stress. 650 0 $a Police misconduct. 650 0 $a Police $z San Diego. $z San Diego. 650 0 $a Police $z Seattle. $z Seattle. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204083353.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36F93386223E11E6853776A2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
