"An incisive, muckraking expos of the 'police industrial complex.'"--The New York Times Book Review

American law enforcement is a system in crisis. After explosive protests responding to police brutality and discrimination in Baltimore, Ferguson, and across the country, debate over ways to reform the police continues to rage. For all the disagreement, though, people on both the left and right mostly take for granted that innovative technologies can only help.

As Matt Stroud's deeply reported book demonstrates, however, tools such as Tasers and body cameras are overhyped and often ineffective. Instead of wrestling with fundamental questions about their work, police leaders have looked to technology as a silver bullet, and allowed corporate interests to insinuate themselves ever deeper into the public institution of law enforcement.

Vividly tracing the development and deployment of these technologies, from the infamous Rodney King beating to the present, Thin Blue Lie is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand how policing became what it is today.

ABSOLUTELY LOVELY!!!!!!!
Color: B3: Gold Bar + Birthstone, Color: B3: Gold Bar + Birthstone
My fiancé and I lost our 3 month old baby boy. I thought long and hard and hunted through Amazon hoping to find something thoughtful to get him to comfort him and I saw these urn necklaces. I was a bit hesitant because they’re supposed to hold baby’s ashes and I wasn’t sure how he would feel about that but they arrived and we absolutely love them. There are two different chains so he will wear the thicker one and I’ll wear the thinner. The words are written perfectly, the stones are beautiful. It’s small enough that we never have to take them off and big enough to read the words clearly. It’s just the most beautiful and thoughtful gift I could ever give him. This product gets 10 stars!!!!!! Thank you to the company for giving us a gift that will keep our baby boy forever close to our hearts.

It was perfectly done!
Color: B2: Black Bar + Birthstone
Everything was perfect and nicely packaged. Included a wipe and a little funnel to put ashes in so it can go inside the necklace. Everything was done correctly. It's definitely a great product for the money you're using. The quality of the print was good. It's comfortable to wear as well. The detail I added were correct. It's a great weight as well.

Mom thinks they're comfortable.
Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone, Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone
Got a set for me and my brother. We both like them, they're great quality. Had a bit of an issue with mom getting stuck in the funnel the whole time, but that's an issue with her, not the product.

Came on time
Color: B1: Silver Bar + Birthstone
It’s very pretty and the engraving is precise and done well I’m not a big fan of the stone it’s not the right color for July it’s more of a dark pink instead of red but besides that it’s a good deal for the price I plan on buying 2 more hoping the color of those stones will be better.
