Description
AN ADRENALIN-FUELLED RIDE THROUGH THE LIVES OF AMERICA'S POLICE - IF YOU LIKE THE WIRE YOU'LL LOVE WE ARE THE COPS
Told in the authentic voices of real cops, the journey begins with the rookie's first day on the job and moves through the heartbreak of officers dying in the line of duty, the bloody reality of policing savage gang wars, the devastating consequences of drug crime, a gut-wrenching cop's eye view of 9/11, and even an encounter with a runaway gorilla called Little Joe.
These real-life stories from crime fighting's front line come from cops of every rank, from chiefs to street cops, working in big cities and small towns all over the US. The result is a stunning montage of brutal, funny and sometimes tragic true events which paints a vivid and unforgettable portrait of life as an American cop.
'The stories in this book are by turns horrifying and humorous, enlightening and heartbreaking. An excellent corrective to the Hollywood version of cops and crime.' Miles Corwin
'These are stories told by one cop to another - raw, unfiltered and funny. This book is both laugh-out-loud hilarious and moving.' Jane Bussman
