This book will show you the extent of the harm that lack of oversight and discipline in law enforcement causes. A separate culture of supremacy comes from right-wing racism, complicit police unions, good ‘ol boy networking, and inhumane interpretations of use of force policies. Police abuse their training as a guide to circumvent our rights and manufacture false probable cause. These are the same false justifications police use to perform improper traffic stops, drug searches, and pot DUI arrests. Nobody is safe from this institutionalized misconduct and abuse of authority.
Ignorance of the law, not a defense for us, becomes an excuse for law enforcement officers. Their predatory culture and policies that are more about revenue generation than interest in public safety. You see it on the highways when officers go on ticketing sprees at the end of every month to satisfy their quotas. It get’s more sinister with gung-ho cops playing fast and loose with their training to not just steal and destroy but to kill. Corrupt police have a tell, they try way too hard to get the arrest. Their approach is always smug and haughty, as they try to bully you into accepting their attempts to get you to violate yo0ur own rights and surrendering your liberty.
