POLICE STATE: HOW AMERICA’ S COPS GET AWAY WITH MURDER
Book ID/图书代码： 10720015B83318
English Summary/英文概要： We all want to feel safe. But safe from what, and from whom?
In his 60-plus years as a trial lawyer, Gerry Spence has never represented a person accused of a crime in which the police hadn’t themselves violated the law. Whether by covering up their own corrupt dealings, by the falsification or manufacture of evidence, or by the outright murder of innocent civilians, those individuals charged with upholding the law too often break it, in ways more scandalous than the courts have dared admit. The police and prosecutors won’t charge or convict themselves, and so the crimes of the criminal justice system are swept under the rug. Nothing changes.
Too many police officers are killers on the loose, and every uninformed American is a potential next victim. Police culture is mired in the dead weight of precedent and ruled by trigger-happy tyrants. Power will march our nation over the police state precipice unless We the People take action.
The FBI’s massacre of the Weaver family at Ruby Ridge; the killing of mortally wounded Fouad Kaady by a group of police officers; the torture of teenaged Dennis Williams by cops seeking a murder confession - again and again, the question arises: When the very men and women we pay to protect us instead persecute us, how can we be safe? In Police State, Spence issues a stinging indictment of the American justice system and puts forth a plan to restore liberty and justice for all.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们都希望感到安全。但是安全感来自何处？又是谁来给我们提供安全感？
在Gerry Spence60多年的辩护律师职业生涯中，他所代表的每一个被指控犯罪的被告，在罪行之中警察都一定程度地从事了违法犯罪活动，包括掩盖腐败交易，伪造证据，谋杀无辜平民等。这些被认为是声张正义的警察自己也在违法犯罪。警方及检察官不会起诉自己或给自己定罪，而这种刑事司法系统内的犯罪正在暗地里肆虐横行。警察之中有着太多逍遥法外的杀人犯，而每一个不知情的美国人都有可能是下一个受害者。权力已经将我们的国家慢慢推向警察国度的悬崖边，而国民应该采取行动制止这一情况的恶化。警察滥用权力犯罪的案例正在不断发生，使我们不禁要疑惑：为什么我们出钱雇佣来保护我们的人正在迫害我们？我们如何才能确保自身安全？在本书中，作者对美国司法系统提出了严厉的指控，并提出了使所有人重获自由、公正的计划。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：在其辉煌的职业生涯之中，作者没有遇到过一位他不喜欢的罪犯，也没有遇到过一位罪犯不是警察或司法渎职的受害者。本书重温了他的几个著名案件，一些体现了司法系统最黑暗的部分。本书富有激情，从作者与其客户的访谈角度出发进行了讲述。尽管我并不同意作者认为我们正在向警察国度发展这一观点，但作者提醒了我们——没有一种系统是完美的。（Judy法官）
In his celebrated career Gerry Spence has not met a criminal that he didn’t like or who was not the victim of police or judicial malfeasance. This book revisits his most celebrated cases, some of which represented law enforcement at its worst. It is written with passion, some literary license, and from the fascinating perspective of his interviews with his clients. While I disagree that we are marching towards a police state, Mr. Spence reminds us that no system is perfect. It demands vigilance and people like him to test it. (Judge Judy)
