The War on Cops

After 20 years of economic downturn, the proportion of violent crime in many cities in the US has risen sharply. In 2015, homicides increased by nearly 17% in up to 50 cities, the largest annual increase since 1993. The reason is that Heather Mac Donald first confirmed the "Ferguson effect" throughout the country. Since the police shot Michael Ferguson in 2014, military officers withdrew from aggressive security, criminals are becoming more bold.

This book collects and extends McDonald's innovative and controversial reports on Ferguson effect and criminal justice system. It dismantles the central story of the black living movement: racist police are the biggest threat to young black males. On the contrary, criminals and gangsters are the cause of the high mortality rate of black murderers.

The truth of the use of force by officials was clarified, and the concept of "mass imprisonment" became clear. If you analyze the data strictly, it is possible that crimes rather than race may commit police actions and prisons in jail. Expansion of proactive policing in the 1990s and long-term ruling of violent crime saved the lives of thousands of ethnic minorities. Indeed, McDonald's believes that there is no government agency that is more focused on the idea that "Black life is important", not the data-driven responsible police station today.

McDonald's voice for local residents who want to become active in the police, the crime is intense. From the White House she warned that racial attacks on the criminal justice system violated the authority of the law and endanger the lives. This book seeks more faithful and informed discussion about investigation, crime and ethnicity.

The police and their political allies said that there is a "police war", that the police are more dangerous and that these protesters place aside police life as police Criticism led to an increase in the crime rate. All of these are confirmed by statistical data. (3) It compromises the relationship between the police and the community and threatens the happiness of activists and people of the local community. For the reasons I outlined above it shows members of the community being over-supervised and discriminated, Congress does not consider their life to be important, and the falsehood sold by the police I will buy a statement.

In the last article, I believe that there is no evidence that there is "a war against the police" from the number of police officers killed at least by felonies. Some readers believe that this measure is too simplistic and does not accurately capture what the commentator calls war. For this purpose, I consulted Heather MacDonald at the Manhattan Institute about one of the most important supporters of police story wars. According to her book "Police War: New Attacks on Law and Order Does not Safety Anyone", the war is not primarily directed to police violence, but rather to Grieg's punishment He lacks a priest. In other words, the main artillery of this war is criticism of the police, and planned violence against the police is only a manifestation of criticism.

If someone investigates the US police, the problem is "Is the police in war?" The majority of people may answer 'yes.' In fact, at the time of writing, 93% of the polls on the current PoliceOne homepage believe this is the case (in my opinion). Indeed, the war with the police is also the subject of many articles on PoliceOne, as well as the subject of a wonderful book by Heather McDonald. What is remarkable as an opponent of this popular opinion is the 19-year old police officer, Lewis Hayes, in the Chicago area who wrote persuasive articles compared to attacks against today's staff. The article has been in the past few years. Mr. Hayes said, "Although there are effective concerns about the safety of the police, it actually shows that there is no national war with the police." "In fact, today's police are more secure than ever ... Since the mid-1970s, the number of police deaths has declined overall."
