Lecture by Author Shafiq R. F. Abdussabur to 60 students from New Haven County

“Historically, most circumstances that have involved conflict between police and young African American and Latino/Hispanic males have been the result of a “failure to communicate” by all parties. What you need to know is if the police come up short on communication skills, it will not result in the officer going to jail. You will be the one to pay the price! So pay close attention!”

Following the lecture, the princial of New Horizons stated, “this was exactlly what our students needed.” Other faculty expressed there gratitude for author Abdusabur’s candid and direct dialogue with the students.

Author Abdussabur said, “you have not truly been judged until you have been judged by the youth! It is my job to give them material that they can use to make the best decisions.”

A Black Man’s Guide To Law Enforcement In America went on sale (ebook ) worldwide on July 23, 2009. On December 21, 2009 it will be released in paperback. This book explores the behaviors of racial profiling in USA, and racial profiling solutions for police who police Blacks, Hispanic, Asians, Arabs, Mexicans and other people of color. The book is packed with valuable information on topics that include misdemeanor arrests, bail, auto registration, motor vehicle law, traffic violations, international driver’s license and much more. This cutting edge book is authored by a Black cop, who is still an active “street cop,” of a major urban police department on the East Cost. Author, Shafiq Abdussabur, tackles the tough question of why men of color are more likely to have deadly force encounters with American police?
