REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT
Michael Berish worked as a patrolman, a detective and as a supervisor with the City of Miami Police Department for twenty-two years; thirteen of which were spent as an undercover detective in the REAL Miami Vice where he worked everything from Narcotics & Vice, Prostitution, Gambling and Pornography, to Dignitary Protection of President Jose Napoleon Duarte (of El Salvador) and Pope John Paul II.
About his latest book: REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT.
Bad things happen in "the Pit," a notorious crime-infested ghetto in downtown Miami. 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.
This is not just another collection of rehashed police stories with shootouts, car chases, and damsels in distress. REFLECTIONS FROM THE PIT 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.
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 "the Pit" to bring these Miami cop stories alive.
