Cops, politicians, and ordinary people are afraid of black men. The result is the Chokehold: laws and practices that treat every African American man like a thug. In this explosive new book, an African American former federal prosecutor shows that the system is working exactly the way it's supposed to. Black men are always under watch, and police violence is widespread - all with the support of judges and politicians.
In his no-holds-barred style, Butler, whose scholarship has been featured on 60 Minutes, uses new data to demonstrate that white men commit the majority of violent crime in the United States. For example, a white woman is ten times more likely to be raped by a white male acquaintance than be the victim of a violent crime perpetrated by a black man. Butler also frankly discusses the problem of black on black violence and how to keep communities safer - without relying as much on police.
Chokehold powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change. Butler's controversial recommendations about how to crash the system, and when it's better for a black man to plead guilty - even if he's innocent - are sure to be game-changers in the national debate about policing, criminal justice, and race relations.

The book also needs to be edited a lot. He spends too long at the beginning defining the concept of the chokehold. There is a lot of repetition. There is too much referring to other chapters. The use of slang (never money, always "cash money") is fine, but i worry the author is adopting a mode of speech just to buy credibility. I am sure that as a criminal prosector the author never used those terms in regular speech. The reference to academic work is mostly superficial. There is a lot of throwing around of social science terms that don't really mean anything. Explaining "intersectionality" once is OK, but he labors the point several times. Its a simple idea - a person has multiple attributes to who they are (black, woman, gay etc).
The chapter offering advice to people who are arrested is interesting/useful.
I didn't dislike the book, but this is an area where there is an incredible collection of fantastic books and thinkers. I would not place this book among them.

The author did a phenomenal job presenting a problem, breaking it down and supporting his theories with real life cases. If you feel you dont understand why the Black Lives and other civil right movements are needed in today's culture this book makes it extremely clear we have a long way to go in our fight for equality and justice for all.
