COPS AREN'T SUCH BAD GUYS features a series of blogs I have written about cops and fatal shootings. As discussed in these blogs, most of these killings are actually justified, because of the use of force guidelines which cops follow in the face of a deadly threat, despite the widespread anger and protests against the cops. But this reaction is fueled by misinformation and sensational media coverage, while the cops involved in these shootings have their lives upended by extensive hearings and huge financial expenses.
The chapters in this book are designed to provide a more incisive look at the truth behind these fatalities. It covers these topics:
- cops and fatal shootings
- how misinformation leads to anger against cops and the system
- the extensive hearings after a fatal shooting
- the role of the media in promoting violence in police fatalities
