Our Lawless Police
Blanshard, Paul | December 30, 1931 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "Our Lawless Police," by Ernest Jerome Hopkins. Hopkins has demonstrated by a great mass of incontestable evidence that the lawlessness of the U.S. police is habitual, and that it occurs in the handling of almost all types of citizens. Illegal detention, unwarranted arrest, and the third degree are the rule rather than the exception in police practice. Some of such false arrests are the result of a "drive" hysteria created by the maudlin press and nurtured by politicians for the sake of advertising their own virtues.
