This prompts his parents to sit down with him and his brother to have "the talk", a conversation about what to do when approached by police. They use a catchy chant while also emphasizing that all police are not bad. A to the L to the I-V-E...Come home ALIVE...That is the key! </p><p><br></p><p>This book is NOT anti-police...it IS anti-police brutality!
