These are the true stories of cops who have experienced that terrifying moment when instinct, adrenaline, utter fear, and extraordinary courage come together -- and when a pound of pressure on a trigger is all that separates killing from being killed.

Real stories of deadly encounters,
By
This review is from: Shoot to Kill: Cops Who Have Used Deadly Force (Mass Market Paperback)
This book tells true stories of cops who have had to use deadly force in their line of duty. Although all of the stories handle encounters where someone is killed, this book does not glorify use of deadly force, or try to over dramatize the situations. The stories have very realistic feel, and most of the stories are not very exciting (but are still interesting). So if you are looking for exciting cop stories and Hollywood-style heroics, you should look elsewhere.There are over 30 stories, most of which are 5-10 pages long. Therefore, you can pick this book up if you have 15 minutes to spare. Sadly, the narration is not of very high quality, but rather reminds of trashy pulp fiction books. Anyway, if you are looking for realistic depictions of police work that does not demand too much effort to read, this book might fill the bill.
