Our Enemies in Blue examines the history of police violence from a radical but pragmatic perspective. Uniting theory and practice, the book provides a resource useful to activists, scholars, and citizens concerned about the encroaching police state. Kristian Williams traces the evolution of modern police forces from slave patrols and protection rackets, critiques \"community\" policing, explores racism in law enforcement, and suggests strategies for combating police violence. Our Enimies in Blue shows that police misconduct isn\'t just a matter of \"bad apples\" but is a function of the very nature of policing in the United States.
