American policing is in crisis. The last decade witnessed a vast increase in police aggression, misconduct, and militarization, along with a corresponding reduction in transparency and accountability.
Nowhere is this more noticeable and painful than in African-American and other ethnic minority communities. Racism comes in many subtle forms. There is a little raw, individualized hatred, but most of it is insidious and systemic.
It appears to be a permanent component of our police departments. Overall, U.S. police officers have grown more and more alienated from the people they've been hired to serve -- and trained to hate as civilians, just as the military trains its killers to be able to shoot by dehumanizing targets.

In To Protect and To Serve: How to Fix America's Police, Chief Norm Stamper offers new insights into the conditions that have created this crisis, reminding us that police in a democratic society belong to the people -- and not the other way around.
To Protect and To Serve also delivers a revolutionary new model for American law enforcement: the community-based police department.
It calls for citizen participation in all aspects of police operations:
- policymaking,
- program development,
- crime fighting and service delivery,
- entry-level and ongoing education and training,
- oversight of police conduct,
- and especially relevant to today's challenges,
- joint community-police crisis management.
Nothing will ever change until the system itself is radically restructured, and here Norm Stamper shows us how. More
