Betrayal In Blue: The Shocking Memoir Of The Scandal That Rocked The NYPD by Burl BarerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
a story about the infamous scandal within the NYPD during the 1980's that includes a few notable historic incidents of corruption of the past...and present. Reads like a fiction thriller about two dirty NYPD cops in the cocaine heyday. Mike Dowd and Kenny Eurell were two cops who ran the most powerful gang in New York's 75th precinct. They were drug dealers and they robbed drug dealers. They stole drugs, money and guns not only from criminals but also from the homes of people who had just called in saying their home had been broken into and they took these things from dead people's pockets. Everyone knew what was going on but an officer could not squeal on another officer and the bosses did not want a public scandal so they turned a blind eye. How true that saying is in real life……
Working in law enforcement we all know of someone who is a bad apple or shocked to find out that someone is a bad apple when they are being walked out of the building or walked out in handcuffs….. As the inmates would always say….everyone has a price….what is your price?!
An enjoyable read for anyone who is a true crime fan or a person in law enforcement…
