Cops Who have Used Deadly Force
The dramatic true stories of police officers who have made that split second decision, who have shared the black humor, suffered the nightmares, and stared into the darkest corners of the American psyche.
It is the single most terrifying moment in a cop's life: when instinct, adrenaline, utter fear, and extraordinary courage come together, when a pound of pressure exerted on a trigger is all that separates the killing from being killed. From Detective Sergeant George Haralson of Tulsa , Oklahoma, an undercover vice cop who took on a child pornographer, to Lieutenant David Miles of Hallandale, Florida, who happened on a bank robbery in progress only to be shot: he survived; his assailant didn't, these are the dramatic true stories of police officers who have made that split second decision, who have shared the black humor, suffered the nightmares, and stared into the darkest corners of the American psyche.
