  How to Deal with Cops is a down to earth, easy to read and compelling look at how ordinary citizens can, do and should interact with the Police. It is a book that should be read (or listened to in Audible Audiobook format) by every person from 15 to 60 years old who may encounter police during their everyday lives. Citizens, visitors to the USA, immigrants new to our shores, drivers, pedestrians and everyone in-between – we all somehow, someday come into contact with “Law Enforcement Officers” (LEO’s in the trade). This is Realistic advice on how to make any situation where you must interact with the Police - come out in a favorable and least confrontational manner. A "Must Read" for everyone who has, or may have in the future, the need to interact with law enforcement of any type and in any situation. The biggest thing that most people don't understand about Cops, and why this book is an important tool to have, is that a Cop’s job takes them into the heart of darkness every day. Find some trouble that has taken place, or is still going on, then look around, of course, there are Cops there. Cops must get in the middle of all sorts of incredible crap, almost every day of their professional lives. No one ever calls the Cops to come over to enjoy a party..., only to squelch a wild one. No husband and wife ever get a Cop in a three-way hug, but they sure do get them involved in some knock-down, drag-out fights. No one invites them out to a bar for a friendly drink... only to take care of the obnoxious drunk who is tearing up the bar. Readers of this book will learn to understand that Cops have to live by a lot of rules that don't apply to most other people. They may have to take actions in a split second that they will be held accountable for by a jury, possibly months or years later. Knowledge of these things makes the information in this book an important tool for the average citizen.

  The Scheme - How the Right Wing...

  Following his book Captured on corporate capture of regulatory and government agencies, and his years of experience as a prosecutor, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse here turns his attention to the right-wing scheme to capture the courts, and how it influenced the Trump administration's appointment of over 230 "business-friendly" judges, including the last three justices of the United States Supreme Court. 
   
   
   
  Whitehouse traces the motive to control the court system back to Lewis Powell's notorious memo, which gave a road map for corporate influence to target the judiciary, and chronicles a hidden-money campaign using an armada of front groups and helped by the infamous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. The scheme utilized the Federalist Society as an appointments turnstile, spent secret millions to support the nominees, orchestrated an "amicus brief" signaling apparatus, and propped up front-group litigants to "fast-lane" strategic test cases to the friendly justices. 
   
   
   
  Whitehouse finds the same small handful of right-wing billionaires and corporations running operations that he likens to "covert ops," ultimately enticing the Senate to break rules, norms, and precedents to confirm wildly inappropriate nominees who would advance the anti-government agenda of a small number of corporate oligarchs.
