    About this ebook

    Can we heal the breach between cops and the African American community?

    Blue vs. Black tells the true, heartbreaking stories of ordinary people who cross paths with the wrong cops at the wrong time. The slogan #BlackLivesMatter takes on new resonance as we witness the way their lives were turned upside down in an instant: A young community center director who is savagely beaten by cops before the eyes of the children in his care; a woman who is handcuffed to a chain link fence by a female officer and humiliated in front of her neighbors, simply because of a minor traffic violation; a father who is pulled over by police officers and shocked with a stun gun while his three-year-old daughter screams in the backseat of the car. These are no criminals, but ordinary, law-abiding citizens. Their stories are disturbing, but in seeking justice for them Burris holds out the hope that the system can change. His practical blueprint for police reform has become a standard in many police departments.
