Welcome to the world of Police Legends and Lore. I must claim that my stories are fictional--at least in part. If I admitted otherwise I would fully expect to be drug before both state and federal investigative Grand Juries. Though I was present during some of the events alluded to in both books--in many of the other situations I was not. Some of these stories are the result of a blending of two or more occurrences. Most all of the names appearing in print have been changed to protect the imbeciles, and by doing so it will hopefully keep me out if civil court trials.
  

For three decades I have collected confessions, bizarre stories, statements and lies that were told to me. If someone I encountered on the street made an odd or enlightening statement, I made a note of it in a journal I kept at home. Included is a bit of an insight into the thought processes of pimps, drug addicts and street vermin. Every real cop I have ever known had stories like these. I just took the time to write them down. I will only admit that the chapters regarding Quotes, Street Terms, Ronnie Beck, Bully Paul, Breckenridge Porter, Tommy T, Dirty Red, Felton Coleman, and the Bandito Wars are true. The remaining chapters I must claim were compiled for entertainment purposes only by an aging cop with a somewhat addled mind. You will have to draw your own conclusions. Now have a good read Amigos.
