What does amaze me, however, is the attitude of denial expressed by the former Oakland officers reviewing the book.I am the author of Blackjack and Jive-Five, a book that chronicles many of the internal barriers faced by black police officers as they struggled to become part of the Oakland Poli. EVERYONE Should Read This Book A Customer Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo, Rodney King, the list of names who have been victims of police misconduct goes on and on. A beautifully written, heart-breakingly honest look at one of the most sensitive issues our country--no, the entire world--has to look at and deal with. Racism, hatred, and bullying have all got to end. There are young children walking around who have already felt hatred. They feel it, and they express it, too. It's a vicious cycle.
