Rating:  - Not a Cop but respect them all!!!
I recently read this book and found it very interesting. I am not a police officer but I respect them with everything. Officer Middleton went through a lot while he was on the LAPD. The things that he went through day in and day out was amazing. I have a few friends that are police officers in the city that I live in and I trust them with my life. After reading this I have found out that there are good cops and there are bad ones too! Those ones that are good know their jobs and do it very ... Read More
Rating: - An honest account
I enjoy reading non-fiction police stories, especially since I'm looking at working in law enforcement, and Michael Middleton's "Cop" was well worth the read.

The author seems to have the need to applogize for the things he did as a rookie cop. Sounds like a corrupt jerk that did not have the balls to be what any good LA cop is, HONEST!

You tarnish the badge for every good LA cop out there, just another whiny jerk ... Read More
Rating:  - Captivating
I found this book impossible to put down. I am currently going to school majoring in Law Enforcement. I truly enjoyed reading his take on being a Police Officer. It gives a first hand look into what they deal with each day they walk their beat. I have great respect and admiration for my local Officers here that I have done ride alongs with as well as Officers nationwide and worldwide. This book shows just how much they put their lives on the line each day. May you all stay safe out there and I can't ... Read More
Rating: - my first taste
Being the first "true story" law enforcement book I ever read, I was very impressed. It definitely gave me the bug to read others, and to be active in supporting the law enforcement.
