A Beautiful Police Story As Historical Perspective (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781304016553)

Not so long ago, I completed and published a version of this book which I called A Beautiful Police Story Revisited-which was actually an updated revision of a book I published in 2002, then known as Blackjack and Jive-Five. No sooner did I get the more recent update of the book enclosed in a cover and published before all Hell began to break loose on a national level in the United States. In utter awe, I found myself repeatedly quoting New York Yankee Hall of Famer, Yogi Berra: "Deja Vu All Over Again!" I was recalling this within my own heart, mind and soul: Been There-Experienced All That! This Book-this Beautiful Police Story As Historical Perspective-pauses to ask this befuddling question: "What are we doing here again . . . and again . . . and again?" When this could be the greatest country ever envisioned, why do we keep suffering from an illness which is curable-and then insist upon perpetuating and finding new ways to spread it . . . again . . . again . . . and again? And indeed, ignorance, fueled by racism and intolerance is a terrible illness. Moreover, no other country in history has suffered from it as profoundly and as often as has the United States. This present book will be very much like A Beautiful Police Story Revisited-its most recent predecessor, . It will contain much of the same story and information as both that revision and its original source, Blackjack and Jive-Five. Yet the version now unfolding will more profoundly associate itself with present-day happenings, as well as clearly point out that there are no excuses as to why certain terrible things are still taking place in the world of America's policing. They should not be happening; there are no excuses for them. It Didn't Have To Be This Way.
