If ever anyone, male or female, is interested in a law enforcement career, Distorted Pillars is the reference book of choice. Detailed chapters of true police experiences from probation period to situations police academies would never cover are included. The author's true experiences (none of which nor as many would be expected to occur in the not so routine career situations of every day police work) are detailed in a manner so as to instill the bright side, as well as the dark side, of this troubled world which officers face on a daily basis. The trust-distrust of the ones you work with in the for-or-against you environment is a constant threat that can delete a career one move at a time. "Atta boys" can be dangerous. There are as many peers against you as there are for you, even the pillars of the community. Distorted Pillars is a unique perspective of law enforcement from the inside action of racial protest and drug busts to unprincipled law officials. A fascinating read of unexpected situations that develop as a beginning lawman strikes out at anything that he considers unethical, unfair or unpatriotic.
