If you’re curious as to how out of control a group with power over people without the means to fight back can get if left unchecked from the outside and how incredibly hard it is to change an entrenched culture in a large institution can be， read this book。

This is such an egregious story about police brutality in neighborhood under siege in those in power not caring。 It is so sad to think that if not for one of the things that started this own slot of justice would still be happening。 We can only be thankful for the rookie Keith man and his conscious but what is sad is that they hit a whole police force of rookies and old-timers that were A-OK with the status quo。 I feel like it would be wrong to say I enjoyed the story because so many people had This is such an egregious story about police brutality in neighborhood under siege in those in power not caring。 It is so sad to think that if not for one of the things that started this own slot of justice would still be happening。 We can only be thankful for the rookie Keith man and his conscious but what is sad is that they hit a whole police force of rookies and old-timers that were A-OK with the status quo。 I feel like it would be wrong to say I enjoyed the story because so many people had to be injured and or murdered for the story to be written it definitely held my attention and broke my heart all at the same time。 How humans can treat each other like this baffles me。 If you love a great story about good beating evil then you should read the Riders Come Out at Night I do want to say one thing though I did find the author made every excuse for those who are cops called sample he said in the beginning riots are the language of the unheard and then when they were doing a drugs thing and pretending to be drug dealers when someone went up to them to buy crack he said they were tricked into doing it。 I don’t trust anyone to pinion Hoosies victims as only victims is it there’s no way at all possible they too could be perpetrated there were many examples in this book where police were abusive physically and verbally and I don’t want to take anything away from the fact that they are horrible people but I don’t think giving someone a complete pass is helpful at all。 When we don’t acknowledge wrongdoing The Knick continues like in the case of this book you spell the author was too apologetic and acted as if no one in this town with the corrupt police force we’re guilty of anything that they were just victims and nothing else。 I am not talking about the truth victims and I wish I was better equipped verbally to put my thoughts into words but last I am not so I will just say this was a great book and although I didn’t agree with his apologetic attitude towards everyone I still agree the cops are a bunch of jerks and should’ve been taken down long before 2000。 This is such a good book and one I highly recommend。 I received this book from netGalley and the publisher that I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review。 。。。more
