To Protect and Serve with Prof. Norm Stamper

The police in America belong to the people—not the other way around. Yet millions of Americans experience their cops as racist, brutal, and trigger-happy: an overly aggressive, militarized enemy of the people.

Norm Stamper was a police officer for 34 years, the first 28 in San Diego, the last six (1994-2000) as Seattle’s police chief. He has a Ph.D. in Leadership and Human Behavior and is the author of two books, Breaking Rank: A Top Cop’s Expose of the Dark Side of American Policing and To Protect and Serve: How to Fix America’s Police.
