Description: 100% GenuineFree ShippingGift CardsWELCOME TO THE SHOPBlind to Injustice: How 10 Years on the Streets with the LAPD and the People Helped Me SeeBlind to Injustice is a story about my 10 years with the LAPD in South Los Angeles and in the violent neighborhoods that surround it. I had remarkable access to this storied police department - with an electronic key and a bulletproof vest I could go anywhere I wanted. I flew with the cops over crime scenes and accompanied them with countless arrests of violent criminals. But we look the other way and expect the police to clean up the mess. You'll see the cops doing a job that no one else can or will do but residents don't trust them and regard them as an invading army. After a while I left the police and went across the street into the neighborhoods. There I developed strong relationships on the streets with former gang leaders, community interventionists, priests, and mothers who lost their children to gang shootings. You'll get an inside look at communities that have been brought to ruin by poverty, unemployment, racism, drugs, lousy schools and violence. While it may seem hopeless there are signs that the police and neighborhood activists are finding their common interest in community safety. This book will appeal to readers of all ages. It is also suited for high school and college students who want to understand one of the leading issues of the day. All proceeds from the sale of the book go to the LAPD's Community Safety Program and to OneWay Outreach one of the city's leading gang reduction programs.
