Michael Berish’s experiences as a Miami police officer for twenty-two years serve as fuel for these exciting, intense stories about life as a cop in a tough part of a big city.<br /><br />This is not just another collection of rehashed police stories with shootouts, car chases, and damsels in distress. <strong><em><span style="color:#660000;">REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT</span></em></strong> contains individual, quirky, off-center characters. The stories focus on basic character flaws while dealing with social issues of the day: racism, sexism, prejudice, homelessness, segregation, teenage prostitution, police brutality and its senseless violence, the mystery of crazies abducted by aliens, the murdering of transvestites, the lack of compassion and sympathy by the younger generation for their elders, the stupidity of criminals, the cowardice of police officers, affirmative action, Cuban freedom fighters a.k.a. terrorists, hangings from police cruisers, drug dealing cops and corruption, bungled police stings, the “don’t get involved” syndrome and the raping of the elderly.<br /><br />These reflections, which cover more than one hundred years of history, give one pause for thought and a peek into the human swamp of life with Berish using his intimate knowledge of <strong>"the Pit"</strong> to bring these Miami cop stories alive.<br /><br />For more information on the author, his book, or how to order it, go to his website at: <a href="http://www.realmiamivice.com/"><span style="color:#3366ff;">www.realmiamivice.com</span></a><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">MICHAEL BERISH Author of: REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT For more information on the author, his book, or how you can obtain a copy, visit his website at: www.realmiamivice.com<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9143406526798953970-2101910317727458910?l=michaelberish.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Michael Berishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01078154531681473925noreply@blogger.com0
