Joe Domanick: “Blue: The LAPD And The Battle To Redeem American Policing” (Diane Rehm Show)

It was just over a year ago that a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, fatally shot Michael Brown. His death and those of other African Americans at the hands of law enforcement put policing practices back in the national spotlight. Investigative journalist Joe Domanick says American policing is in a state of crisis. In a new book, he focuses on the Los Angeles Police Department, beginning with the beating of Rodney King and the lack of police accountability that helped spark the L.A. riots. Domanick tells us how police departments across the country can learn from transformative changes made in L.A.
