Review: Not what I consider reality
Rating: 3 out of 5

I admire folks who work in law enforcement.  I wouldn't want their jobs.  It takes a special breed to handle that.  Writing about it also takes a special breed.  Someone who can write honestly about it without exaggerating to the point of making the cops look like pathetic slobs who can't relate to their own families, abuse criminals, and flagrantly violate the law while trying to enforce it.  I realize this is probably the norm for a few of the folks out there.  But I honestly can't buy it for the majority of our law enforcement community.  Plus the writing is not that great.  Too much vulgarity, even for cops, and not enough about the correct way to effect law enforcement.  I think this book does a disservice to the policeman.  But, if you like that sort of thing, you will enjoy this book.  It's to a bad read.  I can't quite grasp what the four and five-star reviews are about because they didn't really say anything concrete about the book, dealing instead with generic praise about nothing in particular.  But don't let that stop you from reading the book.  It's okay and worth the time if you like violence and profanity.
