Must Read Compelling Cop Stories
This book should be required reading for every person who feels compelled to comment on police conduct. I am reminded of the old adage, to hold your opinions of a man until you first walk a mile in his shoes. In Ron Shaw's compelling true story you will walk a long way in the shoes of a big city cop who started out as a lowly patrolman and rose through the ranks until his retirement.
He did, indeed, dodge bullets, and crazy people who wanted to kill him. He "talked down" a man with a gun, bent on murdering a cop and who got the drop on Ron. At times he played security guard to mayors and visiting dignitaries from all over the world, including celebrities, politicos and princes. He wept over the death by gunfire of a fellow officer and you will, too.
As an Atlanta Police Officer, Ron endured every kind of name-calling assault, and dodged bottles, rocks and bullets. This wasn't just an occasional one-time thing. It was an everyday part of the job. Ron led a SWAT team of a dozen officers trying to hold off a riot, at times unsure of their own survival.
Author Shaw tells these stories in compelling detail through the eyes of a humble man. Indeed, he is too modest. After you read this and his other books you will come to know and admire this American hero of a police man.

Great Read, I could not put it down!
A riveting, authentic read that initially grabbed me by the throat, kicked me in the stomach, and touched my heart! I laughed, I cried and you will too.

This cop book is very different, unusual, and maybe even unique. I'd go so far as to call it troubling if not disturbing in some ways. Read the back cover of this one and know that's exactly what you will discover as you read this book.
I found it to be refreshingly authentic, honest, and uninhibited. The realistic elements of the book made me see for the first time what cops go through. If this is fiction, I say great job author Ron Shaw. But, if it is non-fiction, better still!
