For my "local paper", I've been following the New Haven Independent (I moved from there a couple of years ago but still follow the news.)

This week a black New Haven police officer debuted a book to help minorities interact with the police. Given the Gates arrest, it's good timing for the book.

Here's a sentence from a recent blog post on the book:

"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!”
