Some of my students have policed a lot longer than I ever did (which of course is true for most cops). But having walked the walk, even if briefly, gives me a bit more street cred when I talk the talk.<BR/><BR/>Having been a police officer certainly makes me a more knowledgeable--and I hope better--professor.PCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764429864871986236.post-71196795957513867082008-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:002008-09-27T10:58:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comment, Peter!

Looking forward to reading your book!<BR/><BR/>And I hope you sell a lot of them. It's gotta be better than another book I picked up at Greetings and Readings by another former Eastern guy in the local author section:Badges, Bullets, and Bars by disgraced former Eastern District cop Danny Shanahan. I dunno. I think he should have gotten a copy editor or ghost writer or something.<BR/><BR/>Since Peter Moskos, I think, has gotten his Ph.D. now, are you teaching somewhere, and if so, what. And if you are teaching, how, if at all, do you bring your Bmore experience into the classroom and to your students?<BR/>Please let us know!? Thanks!<BR/><BR/>P.S. I think it would be a great idea if you and Norris would go in together in writing a book about policing in Baltimore, perhaps juxtaposing every other chapter. Maybe David Simon or Ed Burns could write the Foreward or Introduction. Who would write the epilogue!? Who knows? Baltimore's journey against embedded street crime continues..........................to be continued.buzoncrimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222344932427990980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764429864871986236.post-9483555861041062442008-09-27T00:59:00.000-04:002008-09-27T00:59:00.000-04:00I heard myself on the Norris show.

When I complained, they said I could back. I think to their surprise, I readily accept to come back for more abuse. That was the last I heard from them.<BR/><BR/>Anyway... I'm happy to be back in Baltimore and looking forward to my appearances this weekend.<BR/><BR/>www.copinthehood.comPCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647097472236933108noreply@blogger.com
