Rendition Concering Books Cop: A True Story
When someone thinks about the stereotypical police officer, they might think of some impregnable peacekeeper. However, Michael Middleton’s Cop proves them wrong. Although their primary purpose is to protect and serve, one must remember that they’re still just people. Yes, they have undergone rigorous training and have prepared themselves as best they can for life as a police officer. However, there is nothing that can prepare you for what happens while on the force. Cop will make you completely rethink the way you see police officers. This book brings you to the edge of the abyss and back, telling the tale of Michael Middleton’s hellish journey through the ranks of the force. Throughout the book, one can obviously tell that the author’s voice is often shaken and frightened at the events transpiring. At times, while on the force, it might seem everything is against you. This book proves that, with the details put into every one of Mike Middleton’s memories about horrifying crime scenes. This book helped put into perspective the real urban warfare that occurs in cities and towns. Whether it be fatalities or noise complaints, police officers are meant to be there. I had a wonderful time reading this book, and I strongly urge anyone who stumbles upon it to pick it up and read it all the way through. You might learn a thing or two about police officers.

this book is a great look into the life of a LA copRealistic and gritty, one of my favorites.Have a little bit more respect for (good) cops, although I had to skip the chapter on racist cops cuz it was too sickening.
Outstanding book on the rigors of police work in big city America. Gives a first hand experience of what the street cop faces day in and day out. Reading this book gives a refreshing perspective on what cops face daily, much better than the clueless insight given by those on social media.
Typical Police Officer retelling of his life work. I found this to be a great read, really interesting.
This is a very straightforward memoir about what it was like to be a street cop in Los Angeles from the 60s to the 90s. I think it might be a little too basic for people who've read or enjoy more complex books that discuss the cause and effect of criminology with far greater nuance. Middleton goes to the trouble to define every term which a reader might not understand, in this post seen-a-thousand-episodes of Law and Order world is there anyone left who wouldn't know the meaning of "kilo" or
I like this book because it followed the title: true. Middleton tells the truth about his patrolman work- good and bad which I appreciated. It is educational as well as interesting.
