Gravitating toward law enforcement in the hope of being a positive influence in his community Raymond quickly learned that the problem with policing is a lot deeper than merely a few bad applesthe entire mechanism is set up to ensure that racial profiling is rewarded and there are weighty consequences for cops who dont play along Struggling with the moral dilemma of policing impartially while witnessing his fellow officers go with the flow Raymonds journey takes him to the precipice of personal and professional ruin Yet through it all he remains steadfast in his commitment to justice and his belief in the potential for change

At once revelatory and galvanizing An Inconvenient Cop courageously bears witness to and exposes institutional violence It presents a vision of radical hope and makes the case for a world in which the polices responsibility is not to arrest numbers but to the people
