You See a Hero, I See a Human Being

by David Robinson

Overview

"Hiding behind the badge." That's how David A. Robinson, Esq., describes the way police departments in America rationalize their misconduct. And it's pervasive. The tragic deaths of innocent civilians have sparked national debate about police brutality and racial injustice in our society. With his unique perspective — first as a cop, now as an attorney — Robinson shines a spotlight into a dark and controversial corner of "Blue Culture" and makes a demand for greater accountability from those whose job it is to protect and serve.
