The war on cops

Book • 2016
This book expands on Mac Donald’s groundbreaking and controversial reporting on the Ferguson effect and the criminal-justice system.

It deconstructs the central narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement: that racist cops are the greatest threat to young black males.

Instead, Mac Donald argues that it is criminals and gangbangers who are responsible for the high black homicide death rate.

The book exposes the truth about officer use of force and challenges the concept of 'mass incarceration.

' It shows that proactive policing in the 1990s, along with lengthened sentences for violent crime, saved thousands of minority lives.

Mac Donald advocates for a more honest and informed debate about policing, crime, and race, warning that race-based attacks on the criminal-justice system are eroding the authority of law and putting lives at risk.
