Book excerpt: "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.
