Ruben Palomares grew up on the mean streets of East L.A., in an abusive home, in a gang infested area, and heavily influenced by relatives who were gang members. However, he succeeded against many odds and excelled in school to become a Golden Gloves boxer and even a sparring partner with superstar boxing champions Oscar de la Hoya and Sugar Shane Mosley. Palomares then joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), where a shooting incident left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which led to a downward spiral in his life. Angry at the world, he turned from being a model cop, to a life of crime, working for the Mexican Drug Cartel. Yet his most brutal battles would be against opponents he could not even see, who came from the demonic spirit world, who followed him from his dark life with the Mexican Drug Cartel and the witches who cursed him. This book is about Palomares' turbulent journey from fierce demonic paranormal attacks, to a road of deliverance and inner healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

"Discusses the hundreds of murders that occur in Los Angeles each year, and focuses on the story of the dedicated group of detectives who pursued justice at any cost in the killing of Bryant Tennelle"--Publisher's description.

Let's begin with the basics: violence is an inherent part of policing. The police represent the most direct means by which the state imposes its will on the citizenry. They are armed, trained, and authorized to use force. Like the possibility of arrest, the threat of violence is implicit in every police encounter. Violence, as well as the law, is what they represent. Using media reports alone, the Cato Institute's last annual study listed nearly seven thousand victims of police "misconduct" in the United States. But such stories of police brutality only scratch the surface of a national epidemic. Every year, tens of thousands are framed, blackmailed, beaten, sexually assaulted, or killed by cops. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on civil judgments and settlements annually. Individual lives, families, and communities are destroyed. In this extensively revised and updated edition of his seminal study of policing in the United States, Kristian Williams shows that police brutality isn't an anomaly, but is built into the very meaning of law enforcement in the United States. From antebellum slave patrols to today's unarmed youth being gunned down in the streets, "peace keepers" have always used force to shape behavior, repress dissent, and defend the powerful. Our Enemies in Blue is a well-researched page-turner that both makes historical sense of this legalized social pathology and maps out possible alternatives.
