Interesting memoir of a white liberal male joining the NYPD directly after 9-11. The author has his own way of analyzing criminal encounters as well as his unique methods of handling these "jobs" and some of his partners cannot believe his advice or outcome. I would have given it five stars but his romantic interest and pursuit became way too tiresome to read about and actually took away from this autobiographical book. Honestly I was truly surprised he stuck it out for three years.
