5.0 out of 5 stars My wife had to pull this book outta my hands, December 22, 2003

By	michael grinnan (Chantilly, VA USA) - See all my reviews

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."

5.0 out of 5 stars Right On Brother!, April 30, 2003

By	Fred E. Moskey (Huntington, West Virginia USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars MSNBC interview made me buy this book!, June 21, 2003

By	Greg Murphy (Denver) - See all my reviews

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.
