The racy jambalaya of war stories, anecdotes, observations and comments was gleaned from street cops all over New Orleans... America's most exotic and romantic city. Offbeat stories and comments from patrolmen, narcs, detectives, deputy sheriffs and state troopers are mixed with little known facts, forming a spicy Creole gumbo. As one NOPD old-timer remarked, "Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud. Others will bring tears to your eyes." Written by veteran cop, James Prine, The Real Police is not for the squeamish, and it cheerfully thumbs its nose at 'political correctness.' These true stories are the part of police work cops usually keep to themselves. If you're a street cop, or if you've ever wanted to be one... This book is for you.
An excellent collection of short stories compiled and written by a man who has seen just about everything "man" has to offer. Not for the squeamish, the PC or those who don't want to accept the realities of the REAL world. The authors ability to convey the depths of humor, fear, horror or disgust with a modicum of words, truly amazes me. The stories are told off-the-cuff, in a concise "just-the-facts, Ma'am" manner; no doubt the result of a lifetime of military, First Responder and Law Enforcement experience. This is the second book I have read from Mr. Prine and I recognize him as a kindred spirit. I can't wait for his next book!
