MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR: It's my pleasure to be able to meet and chat with readers here on Goodreads. I write for all of you, not myself. I want to know what matters, what sticks, and what doesn't. You all mean so much to me. Let's have some fun! Derek

[close] This is a group to talk about your experience with the police—Bad & Good. Also, talk about what happened to your loved one, acquaintance, or share your take on high profile cases in the news. I’m the listener! Because after I wrote this book, people like to tell me all about their stories with police. I’m happy I was and am the listener and could be some help of your emotional relief or give you some healings. My book, “SLIP Away from Harm,” asserts my belief that people should begin teaching people—in their early years—to stop and listen to instructions of the police. The theory of the book is simple. Responsible adults need to start placing heavy emphasis on that common sense approach—teaching youngsters to stop and listen to instructions of the police. If we do that, police deadly force can be reduced by about 90%. Feel free to use this place to share your opinions!
