"Downtown White Police": Demonizing the Alpha Cop, Glorifying Thugs, and Militarizing Law Enforcement (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781514288887)

Downtown White Police: Demonizing the Alpha Cop, Glorifying Thugs, and Militarizing Law Enforcement is a take-no-prisoners expos of the forces at work in American society that are leading us down the dangerous path to a militarized police force.

Former police officer James Lancia excuses no one for what is happening in the nation today. Rather, through a riveting blend of real-life cop stories and social and political analysis, he explains the situation like only an insider can.

Downtown White Police discloses not only the disturbing fact that our police are becoming militarized, but also explains why this troubling trend is happening-and why it has little to do with race.

What's more, Lancia reveals how the media, the entertainment industry, politicians, and social justice advocates are shamelessly hyping the news and creating a false paradigm that demonizes the alpha cop and glorifies the criminals in order to fundamentally change law enforcement into an agent of the federal government.

Whether you're concerned about your own safety or about the future of our democracy, your eyes will be opened to the reality of crime and the need for citizens to act in order to preserve our civil liberties-before it s too late.
