In the book you will find accounts of measures I personally took to rid Atlanta of its' years long initiative identical to NYPD's Stop & Frisk initiative. You will also find a firsthand account of efforts I personally took to subvert a common practice within APD's Narcotics Enforcement Unit. My exposure of these practices went unheeded by APD's chain of command, and tragically resulted some 10 years later in the criminal shooting death of Mrs. Kathryn Johnston in 2006, on the City's NW side. If you recall, this sad event was referred to in the media as a "botched drug raid" by APD's narcotics unit. These are just a couple of the countless issues (all of which I had direct involvement with) exposed within the 25 chapters of this frank, honest and unapologetic memoir.
In the final chapter, "Education Over Incarceration", I outline measures I took to shut off, or at least, slow down the pervasive pipeline from schools to prison epidemic or nation is currently facing; while at the same time, lowering the violent crime rate within the Atlanta Public Schools district.
There's no question as to this book's timeliness, and that its' message is one which our country is in desperate need of right now. It is a book whose sole purpose is geared toward healing this horrible divide which exists between or nations law enforcement agencies and the urban communities they are sworn to serve and protect.
