Book Description
Ruben Palomares grew up on the mean streets of East L.A., in an abusive home, in a gang infested area, and heavily influenced by relatives who were gang members. However, he succeeded against many odds and excelled in school to become a Golden Gloves boxer and even a sparring partner with superstar boxing champions Oscar de la Hoya and Sugar Shane Mosley. Palomares then joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), where a shooting incident left him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which led to a downward spiral in his life. Angry at the world, he turned from being a model cop, to a life of crime, working for the Mexican Drug Cartel. Yet his most brutal battles would be against opponents he could not even see, who came from the demonic spirit world, who followed him from his dark life with the Mexican Drug Cartel and the witches who cursed him. This book is about Palomares' turbulent journey from fierce demonic paranormal attacks, to a road of deliverance and inner healing through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Rayford Johnson is a former Correctional Counselor and author of Thug Mentality Exposed, Demon Mentality Exposed and Greek Letter Exposed. He counsels and ministers healing and demon deliverance at correctional facilities, "the streets", online, YouTube, phone prayer-line, conferences, and residential settings. Johnson is the director and founder of ThugExposed.Org Ministries.

Book Description
"A badge and a gun doesn't automatically make a police officer mentally and physically capable of dealing with violent South Central Los Angeles gang members. Only a few officers ... are willing to do what it takes to get the results ... to "kick ass and take names later." Behind the reassuring smiles, gold badges and neatly pressed uniforms are twisted views and immoral actions. This book is ... about what goes on inside the minds of the officers who make the decision to cross the line in the name of justice."--Preface.

Book Description
The images of riot-torn Los Angeles have been seared into the American consciousness. Gates, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, was in charge of the men who administered the beating to Rodney King. Having that dubious distinction has made him the object of much curiosity. This tape is no weak-willed apologia, as Gates honestly confronts the cold facts of the King videotape. Reading his own story in a voice that has a convincing tone of integrity, Gates offers a self-portrait that is critical & questioning. He shows himself to be the underprivileged child of a Depression-era family who grew up questioning authority. As a police officer rising in the ranks, he met with a good share of adversity, including the painful reality of his son's chronic drug abuse. Such episodes help to humanize Gates's otherwise supercop persona

Book Description
Based on true facts, this story starts in 1978 when Angela Johnson was put under false arrest and brutally gang raped. Angela was an innocent young Black nursing student and mother of three, living in Los Angeles when these events occurred. The men who raped Angela were officers suspected of being members of the notorious CRASH unit of the LAPD. The District Attorney, the LAPD and others colluded to protect the officers involved. This story is about underdogs battling giants. It is about the author’s quest to expose rapists and deceitful officials. This book captures the feelings and pressures two Black women faced amidst a city of corruption while preparing for the trial of their lives, a multimillion lawsuit filed in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against CRASH officer Nick Norton, the LAPD and the City of Los Angeles. Angela Johnson’s horrifying experience was not an isolated incident. This book exposes lawlessness within the LAPD. Despite significant improvements due to federal oversight and the implementation of new rules, it is not enough to change the culture of racism and brutality in the LAPD. This book is relevant to all who are interested in the City of Los Angeles, the culture of police brutality, and social justice as a whole. This book grips the readers and throws them into an unimaginable and uncomfortable place. This book is the 1st in the author’s trilogy. Stay tuned for Book II and Book III.

Book Description
The Rodney King incident and the OJ Simpson trial brought the LAPD national notoriety as a municipal police force that was out-of-synch with the city it polices. But is this force of 9,000 men and women really made up of mavericks, miscreants and rogues? In this revised edition of a true-crime classic, rookie police officer William Dunn takes you inside that other LAPD, one where hard-working, sometimes all-too-human beat cops battle to do their job protecting and serving the average citizen; all the while dealing with dangerous, albeit often colorful, criminals.Set during three of the city's most turbulent years in the middle of one of its most impoverished, and violent, policing divisions (Southwest Station), Los Angeles as seen through the eyes of rookie Officer Dunn is a potentially volatile, constantly changing landscape. To be a good cop, and survive the experience, Dunn quickly learns from some unforgettable teachers how to lay down the law on the streets. Dunn's dispatches from the frontlines of LA are dramatic, humorous and touching. His insights and history into street gangs such as the Crips, the Bloods, and the notorious La Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) street gang/murder cult are compelling and informative. Every day there is another drive-by shooting, high-speed chase or just downright bizarre situation to be dealt with. Dunn offers some of the most compelling insights into the challenges facing a young street cop - and the way we keep peace in America's most dangerous policing districts.
