Reseña del libro "When Police Kill (en Inglés)"

Deaths of civilians at the hands of on-duty police are in the national spotlight as never before. When Police Kill is a groundbreaking analysis of the use of lethal force by police in the United States and how its death toll can be reduced. "Roughly 1,000 Americans die each year at the hands of the police...The civilian body count does not seem to be declining, even though violent crime generally and the on-duty deaths of police officers are down sharply...Zimring's most explosive assertion-which leaps out...-is that police leaders don't care...To paraphrase the French philosopher Joseph de Maistre, every country gets the police it deserves." -Bill Keller, New York Times "If you think for one second that the issue of cop killings doesn't go to the heart of the debate about gun violence, think again. Because what Zimring shows is that not only are most fatalities which occur at the hands of police the result of cops using guns, but the number of such deaths each year is undercounted by more than half!...[A]valuable and important book...It needs to be read." -Mike Weisser, Huffington Post
