False charges of racial profiling threaten to obliterate the crime-fighting gains of the last decade, especially in America's inner cities. This is the message of Heather Mac Donald's new book, in which she brings her special brand of tough and honest journalism to the current war against the police. The anti-profiling crusade, she charges, thrives on an ignorance of policing and a willful blindness to the demographics of crime. In careful reports from New York and other major cities across the country, Ms. Mac Donald investigates the workings of the police, the controversy over racial profiling, and the anti-profiling lobby's harmful effects on black Americans. The reduction in urban crime, one of the nation's signal policy successes of the 1990s, has benefited black communities even more dramatically than white neighborhoods, she shows. By policing inner cities actively after long neglect, cops have allowed business and civil society to flourish there once more. But attacks on police, centering on false charges of police racism and racial profiling, and spearheaded by activists, the press, and even the Justice Department, have slowed the success and threaten to reverse it. Ms. Mac Donald looks at the reality behind the allegations and writes about the black cops you never heard about, the press coverage of policing, and policing strategies across the country. Her iconoclastic findings demolish the prevailing anti-cop orthodoxy.

Good book. Hug a cop today.

This is a well-written and informative book. The author debunks the claims of BLM and other hysterical leftists agitators with specific facts and data regarding interaction between the cops and lawless (mostly black) citizens. I recommend it for those who are interested in the truth about the current conflict between criminal blacks and those tasked with enforcing our laws and trying to provide a safe environment for law abiding residents of strife ridden American cities - who are, co-incidentally, mostly black. She also documents the waste of public funds for law enforcement (LE) caused by over-burdening police departments with useless and redundant reporting/paperwork/red-tape concerning LE encounters with blacks and other minorities that have been instituted at the insistence of anti-LE factions.

A must read for anyone who thinks cops are racist. They aren’t, take a look at how they do their job and what they go through before you call them a racist. A Must read! Greatly informative and easy to follow.
