More About This Book

Overview

In this brutally honest portrait, Sergeant Michael Middleton—a now-retired veteran of the LAPD—tells the gripping tale of his two decades on some of the America's meanest streets.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Middleton joined the Los Angeles Police Department in 1966 and served for 21 years, reaching the rank of sergeant before he retired. His chronicle of his experiences is a top-flight view of police work at the street level, where an officer's death is an ever-present possibility and physical battles with suspects are frequent. Middleton's anecdotal history is grouped into subjects such as heroism, the ``us against them'' police mentality, drugs, gangs and deadly force. He is optimistic about certain aspects of the LAPD, reporting that many of the racist and sexist officers have retired; but he ends on an exceedingly pessimistic note, opining that the 1992 post-Rodney King verdict riots showed that there have been no vast changes in L.A. ghetto life. Middleton provides one of the most dramatic depictions of gritty police work in memory. (Mar.)

    You will be hook on the very first page

    I bought this book a couple of days ago and finished it in a day and a half, this book tells you what it is really like being in law enforcement, the good side and bad side of it. There's drama, emotions, and different perspectives being viewed. Highly recommend getting it, you won't regret it.

    Amazing Book!

    This book tells honestly, and bluntly what it was like for one L.A. police officer. Although it did make me rethink whether or not i really wanted to be a police officer, because of all the dangers.
