Book excerpt: The true story only Joseph Wambaugh could tell. A band of California cops set loose in no-man’s-land to come home heroes. Or come home dead. Not since Joseph Wambaugh’s bestselling The Onion Field has there been a true police story as fascinating, as totally gripping as Lines and Shadows. The media hailed them as heroes. Others denounced them as lawless renegades. A squad of tough cops called the Border Crime Task Force. A commando team sent to patrol the snake-infested no-man’s-land south of San Diego. Not to apprehend the thousands of illegal aliens slipping into the U.S., but to stop the ruthless bandits who preyed on them nightly—relentlessly robbing, raping, and murdering defenseless men, women, and children. The task force plan was simple. They would disguise themselves as illegal aliens. They would confront the murderous shadows of the night. Yet each time they walked into the violent blackness along the border, they came closer to another boundary line—a fragile line within each man. And crossing it meant destroying their sanity and their lives. Praise for Lines and Shadows “With each book, it seems, Mr. Wambaugh’s skill as a writer increases. . . . In Lines and Shadows he gives an off-trail, action-packed true account of police work and the intimate lives of policemen that, for my money, is his best book yet.”—The New York Times Book Review “A saga of courage, craziness, brutality and humor. . . . One of his best books, comparable to The Onion Field for storytelling and revelatory power.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Book excerpt: An urgent look at the U.S. Border Patrol from its xenophobic founding to its assault on the Fourth Amendment in its quest to become a national police force Late one July night in 2020, armed men, identified only by the word POLICE written across their uniforms, began snatching supporters of Black Lives Matter off the street in Portland, Oregon, and placing them in unmarked vans. These mysterious actions were not carried out by local law enforcement or even right-wing terrorists, but by the U.S. Border Patrol. Why was the Border Patrol operating so far from the boundaries of the United States? What were they doing at a protest that had nothing to do with immigration or the border? Nobody Is Protected: How the Border Patrol Became the Most Dangerous Police Force in the United States is the untold story of how, through a series of landmark but largely unknown decisions, the Supreme Court has dramatically curtailed the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution in service of policing borders. The Border Patrol exercises exceptional powers to conduct warrantless stops and interrogations within one hundred miles of land borders or coastlines, an area that includes nine of the ten largest cities and two thirds of the American population. Mapping the Border Patrol’s history from its bigoted and violent Wild West beginnings through the legal precedents that have unleashed today’s militarized force, Guggenheim Fellow Reece Jones reveals the shocking true stories and characters behind its most dangerous policies. With the Border Patrol intent on exploiting current laws to transform itself into a national police force, the truth behind their influence and history has never been more important.

Download or read book Sixty Miles of Border written by Terry Kirkpatrick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The border between the United States and Mexico is a no-man’s land. Drugs, guns, and human beings are the cargo of choice in a multi-billion dollar illegal empire dominated by powerful cartels, murderous street gangs, and corrupt government officials. Against them stand the Special Agents of the United States Customs Service—men and women who fight to uphold the law and protect the U.S. on both sides of the border. Terry Kirkpatrick worked one of the toughest jobs in America: a U.S. Customs agent on the border between Arizona and Mexico. He’s seen it all and done more for over twenty years in a job that many officers quit before they make it six months. These are the gritty and graphic true stories of Terry and his fellow “Border Rats” as they patrol America’s modern badlands, where bullets are currency and blood is taken as payment. From the inhuman conditions people suffer under to get onto American soil, to working with blatantly crooked military leaders, to some of the most insane and unbelievable situations ever survived, readers will experience the chaos that has engulfed the U.S. border in the words of a man who has been there. 60 Miles of Border sheds an unsparing light into the life of customs agents, their dealings on the border, the effect on their daily lives—and an unsparing look at one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics in modern America.

Book excerpt: "I would soon learn that showing up at the border with a can of liquid karate and a less-than-Ron-Jeremy-sized whacky stick was like arriving at the Battle of Hastings with a spork.""The border attracts a fundamentally different clientele from the airport. Going to an airport is a big deal for most people. They put on pants. They bring a passport. They know where they are going. They expect a bit of scrutiny. If they arrive at the airport in, say, Seoul with an AK-47 or buck-assed naked, someone is likely to notice and say, "Er, come with me, sir.""Officers who believe their clients are innocent children will never allow child rapists into a home with Canadian children. And that's as important as semantics ever get.""So much cocaine was coming up the US-5 from Mexico that BC, 10,000 kilometres from the nearest coca plant, was becoming a net EXPORTER of cocaine.""You can't fix people's attitudes. If people are stupid and ignorant, they've probably been that way for a long time. They think it's okay, and they don't want to change. If anyone's going to change that, it might be a spouse or a minister; it sure as shit won't be you." "People were coming through the lane with fucking pianos strapped to the roofs of their vans, insisting they had "Nothing to declare." Chutzpah doesn't begin to cover it.""He is now the Vice-Chair of the Board of Governors for the University of Ottawa, a perfect settling perch for members of the Laurentian Elite who have fucked things up in the civil service too much to be of use to even a Liberal government. On his University of Ottawa bio-page, the word "border" is misspelled.""Bosses hated arming, not because they had analyzed it dispassionately and found it made no sense, but because they were cloistered academics who did not like things that made loud noises.""Taking a dime was taking a dollar was taking a million. Lying about whether or not a guy had booze on his breath when you pulled him in for an ASD was the same as lying about a confession to murder. Breaking the laws you were sworn to protect was shit behaviour, any way you cut it.""Drug traffickers do not threaten unreceptive people who have done nothing to suggest a willingness to compromise their integrity, or an opening for blackmail. They know those people will go to the police.""First, we completed the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. This was a multiple-choice exam which, luckily, had an interpretation guide available on Amazon. I bought one, and it helped me understand certain valuable things. Like, when they ask about flowers, that's code for "gay." And when they ask about "enjoying fire," that's not hot cocoa by the fireplace, that's setting fire to your own house and jerking off till the bucketheads get there.""Andy was searching an old country music star's bus one time, when the star asked him, 'Whatcha all looking for, anyway?' 'Contraband.' 'Why, we's a country band.'" "People who show up at the border often have classical DSM-IV symptoms. They are disoriented. They are delusional. They are panicked. They engage in risky behaviour. Ask any officer who has spent six or more months at a border crossing, and they'll tell you: there isn't enough Prozac in the world for these people."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soldier, Policeman, Patriot is the story of one man who decided early in life that he wanted to do the right thing in all contexts, for everything and everyone that he touched. He joined the Army at age 16, to defend his country at the outbreak of World War II. Thirty years later, he left as a decorated officer who survived three wars, saved many lives and fulfilled his destiny to serve and protect. David E. Teich Sr.'s story is one of commitment and passion for protecting the world in which he is an active participant. He accomplished what he aspired to do and did it in a manner that teaches us everything there is to know about believing in our country, our community and our fellow citizens. As you share this journey, you will recognize his drive and ambition coupled with modest beginnings and a world short of courageous acts. David wanted better for himself and his family. No matter what he did, he taught his sons and the rest of the world that he was serious about giving back to his world, succeeding in doing so into the present.

Download or read book Uncle Sam’s Policemen written by Katherine Unterman and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extraordinary rendition—the practice of abducting criminal suspects in locations around the world—has been criticized as an unprecedented expansion of U.S. police powers. But America’s aggressive pursuit of fugitives beyond its borders far predates the global war on terror. Uncle Sam’s Policemen investigates the history of international manhunts, arguing that the extension of U.S. law enforcement into foreign jurisdictions at the turn of the twentieth century forms an important chapter in the story of American empire. In the late 1800s, expanding networks of railroads and steamships made it increasingly easy for criminals to evade justice. Recognizing that domestic law and order depended on projecting legal authority abroad, President Theodore Roosevelt declared in 1903 that the United States would “leave no place on earth” for criminals to hide. Charting the rapid growth of extradition law, Katherine Unterman shows that the United States had fifty-eight treaties with thirty-six nations by 1900—more than any other country. American diplomats put pressure on countries that served as extradition havens, particularly in Latin America, and cloak-and-dagger tactics such as the kidnapping of fugitives by Pinkerton detectives were fair game—a practice explicitly condoned by the U.S. Supreme Court. The most wanted fugitives of this period were not anarchists and political agitators but embezzlers and defrauders—criminals who threatened the emerging corporate capitalist order. By the early twentieth century, the long arm of American law stretched around the globe, creating an informal empire that complemented both military and economic might.

Book excerpt: Border War is a timely thriller about the struggles of US law enforcement officers on the Mexican border by TV broadcaster Lou Dobbs. The border is a tough place to work, especially for FBI agent Tom Eriksen. With a history of violence, he cannot afford any on-duty screw-ups. So when an investigation ends in a bloody shootout and the shooting is deemed "questionable," the bureau reassigns Eriksen to an office known as "the Island of Misfit Cops": a resting place for those who have screwed up enough to warrant being dumped in El Paso, Texas. But when his partner is murdered, Eriksen must take charge and solve the case, wading through corruption and betrayal to discover the truth. Only after he teams up with a resourceful and gorgeous NSA agent, Kat Gleason, does his luck change. As they slowly put the puzzle pieces together, the investigation points to a powerful cartel lord and a shadowy US computer company. As the web of deceit and betrayal tightens, the body count grows. Eriksen must deal with the mayhem caused by the cartels while racing against the clock to stop an assassin whose target is someone very close to him. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
