“An incisive examination of American policingsprawling, engrossing, and highly relevant to the ongoing controversies about policing post-Ferguson.” (Kirkus (Starred Review))“In a time when controversial police actions have virtually split America apart, it’s impossible to imagine a more important book than Joe Domanick’s Blue. His mesmerizing account of how the Los Angeles Police Department descended into fanatic racism, then was healed by new leadership's combined commitment to fairness and common sense, is a lesson that must be learned by all of us, law enforcement officials and community activists most of all.” (Jeff Guinn
Domanick does a good job in covering the local political influences both inside Gary Malmberg Blue is written around a general timeline that begins in April of 1992 with Los Angeles Riots, sparked by the acquittal of four white officers in the Rodney King beating, and ends in 2010 with the death of former chief Gates and the early days of the administration of present/day chief Charlie Beck. Within this timeline are the activities and influences on events by many people, most particularly former chiefs Willie Williams, Bernard Parks, Bill Bratton and Charlie Beck; mayors Tom Bradley, Richard Riordan and Antonio Villariagosa; activist Connie Rice; former gang members; and Rampart Scandal scoundrel Ray Perez.. Defining the Thin Blue Line William John Cox As the author of the Los Angeles Police Department Policy Manual and The Role of the Police in America for President Nixon's National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals, I looked forward to reading Joe Domanick's "Blue." I was not disappointed. He not only updates his classic 1994 study of the Department, "To Protect and To Serve," but he now provides us with the most progressive thinking in the police service today.Although he paid short shrift to populist Chief Ed Davis' role in initiating community policing, and failed to mention Deputy Chief Jim Fisk's progressive role in community rela. My favorite book of the year was Ghettoside Amazon Customer My favorite book of the year was Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America by Jill Leovy. Both are about policing in LA. Blue gives the historical perspective and Gettoside dives into the day-to-day policing on the ground and the cultural/historical perspective of police-Afro American relationships from the deep south, especially Mississippi and Louisiana where many of LAs blacks migrated from. I believe Blue's strongest contribution is how the relationship of the LA mayors and the police commissioners played an integral role leading up to Watts in 1964 and the Rodney King riots in 1992. These relationships and
As Kirkus Reviews summed up in a starred review: “This is a well-executed, large-scale urban narrative, sprawling, engrossing, and highly relevant to the ongoing controversies about policing post-Ferguson.”. Vividly drawn and character-driven, Blue is simultaneously a gripping drama of cops, crime, and politics, and a primer on police policy and reform.Beginning with the 1992 Los Angeles Riots and ending with the tumultuous police controversies swirling around both Ferguson, MO and New York City in 2014, Domanick’s fast-paced book is filled with political intrigue, cultural and racial conflict, hard-boiled characters like intransient, warrior minded cops like LAPD chief Daryl Gates and America’s most famous police reformer, William J. As the Los Angeles Times put it, Blue “weaves a
