Our Enemies in Blue examines the history of police violence from a radical but pragmatic perspective. Written for the lay reader but useful for scholars, the book shows that police misconduct isn't just a matter of "bad apples" but is a function of the very nature of policing in the United States. Author Kristian Williams explains how modern police forces evolved from slave patrols and protection rackets, critiques "community" policing, explores racism in law enforcement, and suggests strategies for combating police violence. Williams includes a chapter on prison economics, with an emphasis on how police have cooperated with politicians to increase the number of prisons, and offers anecdotes from those who have encountered police brutality while working for social justice.

This is a must read. couple with The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness and you will have a clear understanding of many aspects of the current criminal justice system from cops to courts to prisons and beyond. this book in particular is very enlightening and gives great ammo against the mainstream view of the nature and the role of the cops. they are, in fact, not our friends and this book will explain why and more importantly, how this is not accidental.
