This is absolutely one of the best books I've read in along time. I recommend it to anyone who has questions about why "the police do the things they do!" Or, why the police can't do things that citizens want them to do. Ric explains things in a way that is easily understandable. If you have a negative opinion about those who protect and serve, this book will open your eyes to the way it really is, to be "behind the badge."

This book should be required reading for all new law enforcement officers. Veteran officers should find it not only interesting but helpful as well. It really tells it like it is! If you want to know what a cop thinks, read this book. As a retired West Virginia Deputy Sheriff I speak from experience.

I happened to see author Ric Robinson, a former state police investigator, on the Joe Scarborough program on MSNBC. He presented himself as a professional and made several interesting points on a subject everyone else is afraid to talk about, "racial profiling." I got so caught up in the excitement of the interview that I went online and got his new book, "Cop the Truth Behind the Badge." Its one of the best police books I've ever read, the kind of stories great tv shows and movies come from. It was written in an honest and 'no-holds-barred' style that held my interest.
This is a book anyone would enjoy whether you like or dislike police officers, because it tells the truth about what cops face every day.
Police have a dangerous and difficult job, and Mr. Robinson expresses that in a way that will keep you turning the page.
I'm looking forward to his next book.

This is not a kids book. Its in your face and the author makes no apologies for chapters like "Dirty Harry was right, nothing wrong with shooting as long as the right people get shot," "Homeland INSECURITY, the price of freedom," and "Racial Profiling, the color of a criminal." In "Racial profiling", if you only read the first part you would think Ric Robinson was in favor of that type of police work. He's not, but you have to move through the chapter to learn he finds the practice abhorrent. He does, however, support 'criminal profiling', while making fun of all the TV experts which got the Serial Snipers wrong! He said they sounded like "barkers in a carnival". Ric Robinson is a former state police director. I think he's the most straight forward cop I've ever heard about...or read. Cop The Truth Behind The Badge is not "PC". Can you handle the truth? If so, you'll love this book. I couldn't put it down.

The book Cop: The Truth Behind the Badge is an excellent book! Ric Robinson is a person who will not hold back and will tell you the way it is. Great book, great author and way to go!! Hope to see more of them.

Ric Robinson did a great job in writing his perspective--and the real truth about police work and policing in our Nation. I only wish I could have heard him as a talk show host. Love his sense of humor and "down to earth" language.

Ric's book is really down to earth and informative. It's told in a way that is becoming quite uncommon today with all of the political correctness and such that haunts the country. I'm pleased to know that there are law enforcement officers out there who do have common sense and take off the gloves when it comes to dealing with human parasites. I'm sure that it would offend the liberals. Good!
