What's it like to have the legal sanction to shoot and kill? This compelling and often startling book answers this, and many other questions about the oft-times violent world inhabited by our nation's police officers.

This brilliantly written book tells how novice officers are trained to think about and use the power they have over life and death, explains how cops live with the awesome responsibility that comes from the barrels of their guns, reports how officers often hold their fire when they clearly could have shot, presents hair-raising accounts of what it's like to be involved in shoot-outs, and details how shooting someone affects officers who pull the trigger. From academy training to post-shooting reactions, this book tells the compelling story of the role that extreme violence plays in the lives of America's cops.

There is tremendous controversy across the United States (and beyond) when a police officer uses deadly force against an unarmed citizen, but often the conversation is devoid of contextual details. These details matter greatly as a matter of law and organizational legitimacy. In this short book, authors Jon Shane and Zoë Swenson offer a comprehensive analysis of the first study to use publicly available data to reveal the context in which an officer used deadly force against an unarmed citizen. Although any police shooting, even a justified shooting, is not a desired outcome—often termed "lawful but awful" in policing circles—it is not necessarily a crime. The results of this study lend support to the notion that being unarmed does not mean "not dangerous," in some ways explaining why most police officers are not indicted when such a shooting occurs. The study’s findings show that when police officers used deadly force during an encounter with an unarmed citizen, the officer or a third person was facing imminent threat of death or serious injury in the vast majority of situations. Moreover, when police officers used force, their actions were almost always consistent with the accepted legal and policy principles that govern law enforcement in the overwhelming proportion of encounters (as measured by indictments). Noting the dearth of official data on the context of police shooting fatalities, Shane and Swenson call for the U.S. government to compile comprehensive data so researchers and practitioners can learn from deadly force encounters and improve practices. They further recommend that future research on police shootings should examine the patterns and micro-interactions between the officer, citizen, and environment in relation to the prevailing law. The unique data and analysis in this book will inform discussions of police use of force for researchers, policymakers, and students involved in criminal justice, public policy, and policing.

In an effort to grasp the magnitude of the repose to Michael Brown's death and understand the scale of the problem police violence represents, Lowery speaks to Brown's family and the families of other victims other victims' families as well as local activists. By posing the question, "What does the loss of any one life mean to the rest of the nation?" Lowery examines the cumulative effect of decades of racially biased policing in segregated neighborhoods with failing schools, crumbling infrastructure and too few jobs. Studded with moments of joy, and tragedy, They Can't Kill Us All offers a historically informed look at the standoff between the police and those they are sworn to protect, showing that civil unrest is just one tool of resistance in the broader struggle for justice. As Lowery brings vividly to life, the protests against police killings are also about the black community's long history on the receiving end of perceived and actual acts of injustice and discrimination. They Can't Kill Us All grapples with a persistent if also largely unexamined aspect of the otherwise transformative presidency of Barack Obama: the failure to deliver tangible security and opportunity to those Americans most in need of both.

This book is my sign off, my shift is finally over. This book is not about Black Lives Matter (BLM), BIOCP, Color of Change or other organizations leading the struggle for social justice and change. It is about a plague on society that has continued too long and is overdue for eradication. Although society owes a debt of gratitude to Back Lives Matter, the Color of Change, BIPOC, Tom and Jerry, and all the other organizations for challenging the status quo, we know their efforts must continue and be supported by the community. This book is about the country's lack of guilt and its depravity. It is about paying people to kill, maim and torture minority, primarily black, citizens in the name of the law. The U.S. has laws against unlawful police behavior, but rather than enforcing or utilizing hem, these laws are systematically ignored, excused, snubbed, and in some circles, looked at with disdain. Fortunately, not all citizens are followers of evil personified. However, the majority of the white population carries on as if the rape and pillage of the minority population does not exist or is imagined. Even if it does exist, it is for the protection of the white majority from uncivilized and inferior human beings. It has always been this way, and whites want it to continue forever. The good cops, who serve and protect, need help from a system the does not hold bad cops accountable for killing unarmed people. They need help from district attorneys who fail to charge bad officers for their criminal behavior. The system also needs judges to stop granting immunity to bad cops which protects them from prosecution even after they are charged. In addition, juries should represent all people, not just the white ones. State representatives should stop passing laws protecting police from the peaceful demonstrators, if people are attacked with nightsticks, pepper spray and rubber pellets. The ultimate relief must come from the highest court in the land, but the U.S. Supreme Court has handed down a decision stating that police do not have the responsibility to protect people from harm. This book is about shining a light on a system that does not believe in equal justice for all, and I hope may enlist more volunteers against police brutality. This book is dedicated to my uncle, a sheriff's deputy, He was killed in the line of duty in the section of the city known Tulsa's black wall street, the area of town I patrolled for eight years.

We hold many assumptions about police workÑthat it is the responsibility of the state, or that police officers are given the right to kill in the name of public safety or self-defense. But in The Killing Consensus, Graham Denyer Willis shows how in S‹o Paulo, Brazil, killing and the arbitration of ÒnormalÓ killing in the name of social order are actually conducted by two groupsÑthe police and organized crimeÑboth operating according to parallel logics of murder. Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, Willis's book traces how homicide detectives categorize two types of killing: the first resulting from ÒresistanceÓ to police arrest (which is often broadly defined) and the second at the hands of a crime "family' known as the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). Death at the hands of police happens regularly, while the PCCÕs centralized control and strict moral code among criminals has also routinized killing, ironically making the city feel safer for most residents. In a fractured urban security environment, where killing mirrors patterns of inequitable urbanization and historical exclusion along class, gender, and racial lines, Denyer Willis's research finds that the cityÕs cyclical periods of peace and violence can best be understood through an unspoken but mutually observed consensus on the right to kill. This consensus hinges on common notions and street-level practices of who can die, where, how, and by whom, revealing an empirically distinct configuration of authority that Denyer Willis calls sovereignty by consensus.
