About this audiobook

David A. Clarke, Jr., known by many as "America's sheriff," navigates the choppy waters of race relations, religion, politics, and law enforcement, sharing what it will take to once again become a great nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.

America has become increasingly divided and polarized in recent years. With growing animosity toward law enforcement professionals, government corruption, disregard for the constitution, and racial tension thanks to the media and hate groups, there seems to be no easy answer in sight.

But Sheriff David Clarke knows where we must begin. We must stop blaming others and take ownership of our family, community, and country. We must face our problems and turn to God for solutions.

Cop Under Fire is not a dry recitation of what has gone wrong in America. Deeply rooted in his personal life story, Sheriff Clarke’s unmatched passion, conviction, and patriotism is a rallying cry for our country. “America’s not perfect. But it still offers every American, black or otherwise, who is willing to work hard, the best chance of experiencing our full potential as human beings,” writes Clarke. “The challenge is to work for a better future without being fixated on the ugly scars of the past.”

Clarke is half right. Violence in the community is a huge problem. but he sugar-coats how police often behave and why many law-abiding tax=paying black people fear the cops. Check out how many expensive cars in white neighborhoods are puled over. You'll find mostly mediocre of shabby cars. People in those fancy cars are pretty much immune and they know it. Now a fancy car driven by a black person is another matter. The actress Neicy Nash's adult son, who is black was recently stopped by police for "rolling through a stop sign" (like white people don't do that 100 million times a day) and asked, what do you do, how can you afford this car? That's total racism. A lot of cops can;t believe that black people can have a lot of money unless they are criminals. Clarke doesn't deal with that because guess - he gets rich from conservative white people who buy his books. If he told the WHOLE truth they wouldn't like it and his lifestyle would go kaput.. The fact is that Black and blue lives both matter.

some great insight from a good man. while listening I wondered where he would be if his father had not been there... quite possibly he would have been another tragic statistic. I would love to shake hands with his parents and say well done and thank you!

distinction of conservative or republican and the true belief of why a law enforcement officer hopes to express and instill to the people he or she choses to protect. thank you.
