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

Autorenporträt
Paul Brakke, is a scientist based in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. He became interested in studying the criminal justice system when his life was turned upside down after his wife was falsely accused of aggravated assault for trying to run some kids over with her car, since the kids and some neighbors wanted her out of the neighborhood. Eventually, they had to move, as part of a plea agreement, since otherwise, Brakke's wife faced a possible 16 year jail sentence if the case went to trial and she lost. He has previously told his wife's story in American Justice?, along with a critique of the criminal justice system.
