Breaking Ranks - A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing

A recently released book, Breaking Rank - A Top Cop's Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing brings to light some very interesting issues facing police and the lack of accountability. Former Assistant Chief Norm Stamper faces criticism by shedding light on the dark side. Interestingly, another book near publication, Please God, Don't Let My Badge Tarnish, will shed similar light on police corruption and non responsiveness to communities. It is difficult to silence credible people shining a light to expose corruption.
