Atlanta (BlackNews.com)--Joseph Buskey, a zealous ex-police officer thoroughly educated within the "code," has written a book chronicling inherent misconduct within the police profession.

Historically viewed as an occupation whose members routinely function under clouds of great speculation, exploitation, and suspicion, the industry of law enforcement has evolved from one of implicit gallantry into a self-serving pride and money machine.

In his book, "Tinged Valor: An Exposé of the Real Police," the author highlights episodes of actual police misconduct, which consistently breed contempt for the police in every corner of our society.

This contempt resides primarily within the Black communities, where male treatment persists and state-of-the-art jails (equivalent to indigent-based country clubs) are being constructed to casually confine greater numbers of people for shorter lengths of time (promoting recidivism).

At their own hands, the law enforcement community has trivialized its "serve and protect" mantra and undermined the justice system creed, which charges its members to execute the duties of their office with "wisdom, justice, and moderation."

Through "Tinged Valor," the author aims to equip the general public with the offensive insight to protect itself against the actions of unscrupulous police officers by generating a sustainable wave of external pressure, which will place all in law enforcement on notice that business as usual is no longer acceptable and must cease.

"Tinged Valor" is currently available online through the publisher at Publishamerica.com and all major booksellers: Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, Borders, etc.
