Customer Reviews

Family of every cop who works gangs should read this book

Tony does a great job explaining the problems the modern gang police officer faces. Tony, better known as "Pac-Man" for the yellow Dodge Fury he was forced to use during his LAPD CRASH days in South Central, was portrayed by Robert Duvall in the movie "Colors" (the Sean Penn character was based on Dennis Fanning of South Bureau CRASH.) Tony knows his stuff, believe me! Check out the book "Gangs of Los Angeles" and "BOOT: An LAPD Officers Rookie Year" for similar stories.

A Unique Perspective

This is a book on gangs from someone who was close to them. Tony provides invaluable insight while providing very interesting reading. His perspective on life lessons is woven throughout, and makes for an excellent read. This is a great read for gang cops and gang members and those who are neither!
