Cleveland Cops: The Real Stories They Tell Each Other

Rating:
Summary: Straight to the point, Honest, No holds barred.
Review: As a retired Police Officer, I have read literally hundreds of Police Books. Cleveland Cops takes out the "sanitizing" usually done on Police stories and takes you inside the real world of law enforcement. This book is "in your face" from start to finish. The reader will get to ride in the police car and learn the realities of the job.
Chapter 8 "Some stories you never want to talk about" [ Kids in the crossfire] was a moving tribute to the officers involved. One story takes you to the scene as 2 officers respond to a domestic, only to arrive to a man holding a baby and shooting at them. Then having to feel the helplessness as this man pistol-whips the baby, throws a samauri sword at the officers having set fire to the house. He goes to the roof and jumps with the baby in his arms.
It doesn't get any more real than this book. Straight from the Cops who were there.

Review: I found this book very exciting and interesting. It is a book that I could hardly lay down, I had to keep reading it.
This book brought to my attention just how critical a Police Officer's job can be, and a job I feel very few could do.
I recommend this book for readers who like reading true stories that they can enjoy reading.

Summary: casual, enjoyable documentary
Review: This book was a pleasant surprise. I'm from Cleveland, and so I could follow well the stories. I knew the areas described and recognized names of cops, and really enjoyed this glimpse into everything. The hundreds of stories are short, some only half a page or less...they range from scary to hilarious and also heartwarming. I found it really difficult to put down once I picked it up. A great read.
