Offering a rare, often shocking view of American policing, \u003ci\u003eAn Inconvenient Cop\u003c\/i\u003e pulls back the curtain on the many flaws woven into the NYPD's training, data, and practices, which have since been repackaged and repurposed by police departments across the country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGravitating 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 apples\"--the entire mechanism is set up to ensure that racial profiling is rewarded, and there are weighty consequences for cops who don't play along. Struggling with the moral dilemma of policing impartially while witnessing his fellow officers go with the flow, Raymond's 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once revelatory and galvanizing, \u003ci\u003eAn Inconvenient Cop\u003c\/i\u003e courageously bears witness to and exposes institutional violence.
