Book excerpt: Norman A. Carter Jr. was sitting in an Army barracks in the 1960s when he decided to become a police officerand in 1967, he was accepted into the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police Academy. His wife and family did not like the idea of him becoming an officer of the law. Police officers were known as people not to be trusted, and the people in Carters neighborhood saw them as corrupt and brutal. But Carter was convinced that the best way to change that perception and help the country heal during the turbulent Civil Rights Movement was to become a Police Officer. He knew that once he became a Police Officer, hed work alongside other honorable men and women. While there were plenty of those, including some who died serving their city, he also found others who soiled the reputation of Police Officers determined to protect and serve. Some of them were criminals themselves. For years, he tried to expose these criminalized Police Officers , but he wasignoredor worseretaliated against. He reveals how a corrupt system negatively impacted every citizen of Philadelphia in The Long Blue Walk.

Book excerpt: In the vein of Erin Brockovich, The Departed, and T. J. English's Savage City comes Busted, the shocking true story of the biggest police corruption scandal in Philadelphia history, a tale of drugs, power, and abuse involving a rogue narcotics squad, a confidential informant, and two veteran journalists whose reporting drove a full-scale FBI probe, rocked the City of Brotherly Love, and earned a Pulitzer Prize . In 2003, Benny Martinez became a Confidential Informant for a member of the Philadelphia Police Department's narcotics squad, helping arrest nearly 200 drug and gun dealers over seven years. But that success masked a dark and dangerous reality: the cops were as corrupt as the criminals they targeted. In addition to fabricating busts, the squad systematically looted mom-and-pop stores, terrorizing hardworking immigrant owners. One squad member also sexually assaulted three women during raids. Frightened for his life, Martinez turned to Philadelphia Daily News reporters Wendy Ruderman and Barbara Laker. Busted chronicles how these two journalists—both middle-class working mothers—formed an unlikely bond with a convicted street dealer to uncover the secrets of ruthless kingpins and dirty cops. Professionals in an industry shrinking from severe financial cutbacks, Ruderman and Laker had few resources—besides their own grit and tenacity—to break a dangerous, complex story that would expose the rotten underbelly of a modern American city and earn them a Pulitzer Prize. A page-turning thriller based on superb reportage, illustrated with eight pages of photos, Busted is modern true crime at its finest.

Book excerpt: "A balanced, well-written account which provides the best overall understanding of these events." ?Library Journal "Compelling."?Publishers Weekly "A solid report from an unusual perspective."?Kirkus Reviews "A balanced view."?Booklist On a narrow street in a working-class neighborhood, the police are held at bay by a small band of armed radicals. Two assaults have already failed. After a morning-long battle involving machine guns, explosives, and tear gas, the radicals remain defiant. In a command post across the street from the boarded-up row house that serves as the militants? headquarters, the beleaguered police commissioner weighs his options and decides on a new plan. He will bomb the house. Let It Burn is the true-life story of the confrontation between the Philadelphia Police Department and the MOVE organization?a group that rejected modern technology and fought for what it called "natural law." The police commissioner's decision to drop an "explosive device" onto the house's roof?and then to let the resulting fire burn while adults and children remained in the house?was the final tragic chapter in a decades-long series of clashes that had already left one policeman dead and others injured, dozens of MOVE members behind bars, and their original compound razed to the ground. By the time the fire burned itself out, eleven MOVE members, many of them women and small children, would be dead. Sixty-one houses in the neighborhood would be destroyed. There would be a city inquiry, numerous civil suits, and two grand-jury inquests following the confrontation. Michael Boyette served on one of the grand juries, where he had a front-row seat as the key players and witnesses?including Mayor Wilson Goode and future Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell?recounted their roles in the tragedy. After the grand jury concluded its investigation, he and coauthor Randi Boyette conducted additional independent research?including exclusive interviews with police who had been on the scene and with MOVE members?to create this moment-by-moment account of the confrontation and the events leading up to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philadelphia Police: Past and Present Probably the most important branch of municipal government is the department of police. What the condition of affairs would be in a great city like Philadelphia without this controlling power for good order and protection is simply indescribable. It is a mighty force that few people in the ordinary walks of life ever stop to think of. They take it as a matter of course that they are able to go and come at all hours of the day and night in all parts of this great city without molestation. They do not realize what the consequences would be if this human dyke against the waves of crime and out rage should give way for a day or even an hour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how concerns about poverty-induced Black crime cultivated by police, journalists, and city officials sparked a rise in tough-on-crime policing in Philadelphia During the Great Migration of African Americans to the North, Philadelphia’s police department, journalists, and city officials used news media to create and reinforce narratives that criminalized Black people and led to police brutality, segregation, and other dehumanizing consequences for Black communities. Over time, city officials developed a system of racial capitalism in which City Council financially divested from social welfare programs and instead invested in the police department, promoting a “tough on crime” policing program that generated wealth for Philadelphia’s tax base in an attempt to halt white flight from the city. Drawing from newspapers, census records, oral histories, interviews, police investigation reports, housing project pamphlets, maps, and more, Hope and Struggle in the Policed City draws the connective line between the racial bias African Americans faced as they sought opportunity in the North and the over-policing of their communities, of which the effects are still visible today. Menika B. Dirkson posits that the tough-on-crime framework of this time embedded itself within every aspect of society, leading to enduring systemic issues of hyper-surveillance, the use of excessive force, and mass incarceration. Hope and Struggle in the Policed City makes important contributions to our understanding of how a city government’s budgetary strategy can function as racial capitalism that relies on criminal scapegoating. Most cogently, it illustrates how this perpetuates the cycle of poverty-induced crime, inflates rates of incarceration and police brutality, and marginalizes poor people of color.

Book excerpt: ESP AND ESD BLUE by JAMES VALES "I was not what was typical of the police recruit of 1964. As a recently discharged veteran from the United States Army, I was a highly skilled radio technician with a government tech license. Further, I had no desire to become a police officer." But James Vales did become a police officer. And he learned to love the diversity and challenges that his everyday police assignments brought. In the course of his career as a cop, he developed a familial bond toward his fellow officers, something that is common to members of the law enforcement community. And because of this connection to his brother officers, he wants them to take advantage of his gift of experience, as well as his gifts of extrasensory perception and extrasensory direction. In this book, he delves into the real-life cases that he successfully worked on, with the aid of his ESP and ESD. About the Author James Vales graduated from Military Tech School with highest honors, earned the Distinguished Shooter Qualification during his special weapons training at the Philadelphia Police Department. He also trained for detective criminal investigation. He was in the police force for more than thirty-one years; he retired as a sergeant from the Philadelphia Police Deparment-US Postal Service.
