Opis

Police Officer John W. Howsden patrols the streets of Fremont, California, with a different perspective than most cops. As a nineteen-year-old college student, he was arrested on rape charges and spent three hellish days in jail before being released for mistaken identity. Experiencing -the other side- of the badge helped him show compassion and understanding to others throughout his thirty-year career. This suspenseful memoir details his painful arrest and his journey to becoming a respected police officer. Follow along as he engages in a shootout with a robber who is thought to be a serial killer, stops a father from murdering his children, tries to reason with a man wearing scuba gear in a hotel's hot tub, and even runs after a graffiti artist whose pants are falling down. It's a wild, dangerous, heart-wrenching ride with sweet and silly moments. After reading this book, you will have a new appreciation for police officers and what they endure. It is my hope that these stories help you feel the emotional roller coaster ride a police officer encounters on any given day. Although police officers are discouraged from revealing their emotions, they bleed and weep the same as you.-John W. Howsden
