Book excerpt: The purpose of Policing Peace--What America Can Do NowTo Avoid Future Tragedies is to give perspective and understanding to peace officers and the people they police in the hopes that the estrangement and division between races can be overcome. This book is addressed both to peace officers and community members. Peace officers need to treat people fairly with deference and respect. Community members need to understand more about the law and police procedure. Overcoming disparity includes education: knowing the law, knowing the facts of the case, and knowing the laws that apply. Often the public is unaware of the law and police policy which results in misconceptions and unfair judgments of police actions which might be completely justified under circumstances present and the law. Reasonable expectations fairly evaluate police actions and performance fairly.
