Neil Gross on Walk the Walk
b'What should we do about the police? We\\u2019re swimming in proposals for reform, but most do not tackle the aggressive culture of the profession, which prioritizes locking up bad guys at any cost, loyalty to other cops, and not taking flak from anyone on the street.\\n\\nFar from improving public safety, this culture, in fact, poses a danger to citizens and cops alike.\\n\\nWalk the Walk brings readers deep inside three unusual departments\\u2014in Stockton, California; Longmont, Colorado; and LaGrange, Georgia\\u2014whose chiefs signed on to replace that aggressive culture with something better: with models focused on equity before the law, social responsibility, racial reconciliation, and the preservation of life. Informed by research, unflinching and by turns gripping, tragic, and inspirational, this book follows the chiefs\\u2014and their officers and detectives\\u2014as they conjured a new spirit of policing.\\n\\nJoin us when Neil Gross examines Walk the Walk which opens a window onto what the police could be, if we took seriously the charge of creating a more just America, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.'
