MY LAPD JOURNEY is the oftentimes serious (at times tragic), oftentimes funny (at times hilarious), biography of one man's forty-year career in law enforcement, in particular with the legendary Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). In its 480 pages, Keith Bushey tells it like it was -- the good, the bad and the ugly -- from the humorous incidents (and characters) he encountered as a brand-new Los Angeles street cop, to the 1965 and 1991 race riots, to the 1995 OJ Simpson murder trial debacle, to the different personalities (and abilities) of the eight chiefs under whom he served, to the great men and women with whom he worked over four decades, finally retiring with the rank of commander.

The Journey of Frank Antoine Lewis is the first book of a series that will walk you through the life of an ex-gang member that at fourteen years old shot two young USC students in a blotched Hollywood armed robbery. The journey will outline the contributing factors that caused such a young child to take a path of destruction, drug abuse, gang membership, incarceration, and death. After serving several years in a youth correctional facility, Frank Lewis now serves time teaching in a youth correctional facility. The journey series will walk you through the steps that he took to make the proper changes that are required to make a change in life. The Journey is the heartfelt story of a young man that at ten years old witnessed a horrific murder that traumatized him. With no proper guidance, discipline, or structure, young Frank turned to the local Inglewood, California, street gang for support. After being recruited by a current California death row inmate, Frank become more tunnel-visioned, remorseless, and criminal minded. If you google "Frank Antoine Lewis," you can see that this young man has walked a hard journey and most individuals, statistics, and recidivism rates predicted that he should be in prison today. That is not the case Frank Lewis currently is a two-time college graduate with both an associate's and bachelor's degrees. Frank has overcome the obstacles that many at risk youth face today. The journey is the blueprint to counter the blueprint established by Willie Lynch and his blueprint of slavery. The journey will give young people a hope that no matter how bad today looks if you keep striving for excellence than good things will happen. Frank Lewis has walked the life of a criminal, and it is his passion to assist other young people in their struggle to get back on track. The journey provides that example of a young man that, despite the odds, has risen up from his criminal behavior to make a change in the future generation so that they can see if you strive to accomplish your goals that you can do just that.

The images of riot-torn Los Angeles have been seared into the American consciousness. Gates, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, was in charge of the men who administered the beating to Rodney King. Having that dubious distinction has made him the object of much curiosity. This tape is no weak-willed apologia, as Gates honestly confronts the cold facts of the King videotape. Reading his own story in a voice that has a convincing tone of integrity, Gates offers a self-portrait that is critical & questioning. He shows himself to be the underprivileged child of a Depression-era family who grew up questioning authority. As a police officer rising in the ranks, he met with a good share of adversity, including the painful reality of his son's chronic drug abuse. Such episodes help to humanize Gates's otherwise supercop persona

This book is for anyone who has ever been victimized (directly or indirectly) and is in need of spiritual healing but more specifically how victims of heinous crimes such as sexual assault and rape, emotional and physical abuse, murder (homicide and school shootings) and innocent bystander deaths (car accidents); how they can learn to forgive those deemed unforgivable. The bottom line is that you do not ever need to forgive those who hurt you or your loved ones in order to receive God's unconditional love and Jesus Christ's supernatural healing. In this book, the author openly talks about his own spiritual journey from Judaism to Christianity, and how he was able to heal from two adult sexual assaults and forgive those deemed unforgivable, through Christ. Whether you do not know who God or Christ is; whether you have turned away from God or Christ; or whether you wish to know who they are, this book is for you.

This book is a seldom-told true story of some of the law enforcement heroes. They worked long and hard in incredibly dangerous and uncomfortable situations, fighting the war on drugs, which no one but them ever expected. They started before there was a declaration of war. From personal and professional experience, they knew that this country, its people, its institutions, its economy, and its leadership in the free world were in peril. They saw the growing menace to our kids, to our schools, and even to law enforcement. Someone had to fight back with uncommon valor and dedication. More than four thousand three hundred people have been killed in the last year and a half. Police stations have been bombed, and officers have been shot and killed in police facilities. Some police officials have been kidnapped, shot gangland style, tortured, and even beheaded. Police and government officials at the highest levels have been the object of assassination and, along with their bodyguards, shot and killed. In one city, thirteen people were shot and killed in one evening and left dead in the street. In another city, sixteen people, including a twelve-year-old girl, were shot. The government sent in the military in large numbers, but the killings continued.

At the age of twenty-three, Barry Brooks was saved after accepting Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Shortly thereafter, the Lord called Barry from a quiet, small town in New England to South Central Los Angeles and the LAPD. As many deadly threats faced Barry on a daily basis on the streets of Los Angeles during the crack wars of the late 1980s and 1990s, his biggest battle would come not from the dangers of the street but from within the ranks of the LAPD. After exposing systematic corruption leading all the way up to the chief of police and city officials, Barry would endure a seventeen-year battle of retaliation which came very close to costing him his life, his liberty (prison) and certainly his career. However, God manifested Himself in overt and incredible ways during this time of trial giving Barry the strength to resist and at the same time grow in his faith. Although Barry's story reveals the sin of the LAPD's thin blue line, the main purpose of this book as revealed by God to Barry is simply to Glorify God.

The facinating journey of a high school dropout who entered the Marine Corps on his 17th birthday, served a four-year stint as an enlisted Marine, then got out of the Corps and became a cop, but remained in the reserves. Bushey ultimately received a direct commission, remained active in the reserves, was called to active duty on several occasions, commanded a unit that bloodied Saddam's noses during the First Gulf War, and ultimately retired as a full colonel. Funny, interesting, some sordid, but every word true. For someone who never thought he would become a corporal, Bushey did well!

A LA Times Bestseller “…[A] compelling history of our city’s last half century, as conveyed through the life of one of our most impactful leaders. …” — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass This is the story of Zev Yaroslavsky, the son of Ukrainian Jews who immigrated to the United States in the early 1920s. His memoir charts the journey of a young social activist who battled to free Soviet Jews before becoming one of the most consequential elected officials in Southern California. Fiercely independent, he combined an activist’s passion with a seasoned politician’s skill to challenge the region’s power brokers. He fought the Los Angeles Police Department’s excessive force and political spying policies, led the effort to ban local taxes from funding the 1984 Olympics, teamed with President Clinton to avert a catastrophic county bankruptcy, helped develop L.A.’s modern transit system, won a bruising battle with real estate interests to save the Santa Monica Mountains from rapacious development, and was pivotal in the development of Walt Disney Concert Hall and the modernization of the iconic Hollywood Bowl. “I may be part of the establishment,” he said on the day he was first sworn into office, “but the establishment is not part of me.”

On a dark street, what began as a private moment between a citizen and the police became a national outrage. Rodney Glen King grew up in the Altadena Pasadena section of Los Angeles with four siblings, a loving mother, and an alcoholic father. Soon young Rodney followed in Dad's stumbling steps, beginning a lifetime of alcohol abuse. King had been drinking the night of March 3, 1991, when he engaged in a high-speed chase with the LAPD, who finally pulled him over. What happened next shocked the nation. A group of officers brutally beat King with their metal batons, Tasered and kicked him into submission—all caught on videotape by a nearby resident. The infamous Rodney King Incident was born when this first instance of citizen surveillance revealed a shocking moment of police brutality, a horrific scene that stunned and riveted the nation via the evening news. Racial tensions long smoldering in L.A. ignited into a firestorm thirteen months later when four white officers were acquitted by a mostly white jury. Los Angeles was engulfed in flames as people rioted in the streets. More than fifty people were dead, hundreds were hospitalized, and countless homes and businesses were destroyed. King's plaintive question, "Can we all just get along?" became a sincere but haunting plea for reconciliation that reflected the heartbreak and despair caused by America's racial discord in the early 1990s. While Rodney King is now an icon, he is by no means an angel. King has had run-ins with the law and continues a lifelong struggle with alcohol addiction. But King refuses to be bitter about the crippling emotional and physical damage that was inflicted upon him that night in 1991. While this nation has made strides during those twenty years to heal, so has Rodney King, and his inspiring story can teach us all lessons about forgiveness, redemption, and renewal, both as individuals and as a nation.
