An amazing true story of human survival!
A former police officer has written two books called "Running Scared" and "Legal Minds", both available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com, and other online retailers. "Legal Minds" is co-written with Dr. Roxanne M. Davidson, a Professor of Behavioral Sciences at Southern University.
His books are a must read for anyone concerned with bad cops, how to detect bad cops, what to do and how to act if arrested, how to avoid rape, how to act if imprisoned and behave if unjustifiable imprisoned until your court date with other prisoners, and other interesting law enforcement issues. First a brief summary of Running Scared.
"Running Scared" goes into detail about how Mr. Davis, then a rookie cop on the New Orleans Police Department, repeatedly observed corrupt senior officers violating the very laws they vowed to uphold. Quickly disgusted by what he observed, he made complaints to senior supervisors, who in turn refuse to make such officers accountable for their actions, but instead upholding the long practice called The Blue Law; protect your brother cops at all costs!
He quickly realized that his "image" of a police officer was a distortion. So he later joined "the club", following the footsteps of other rogue cops in the 1970's. He then committed a crime while on the job and was soon arrested. He then skip bond, and became one of America's longest running fugitives from justice; for an astounding 22 years.
Much of his time was spent living as a nomad in various woods, forests, and cities in Canada and the United States. Various law enforcement agencies were never able to track him down. The book ends with the officers' eventual voluntary "surrender" to law enforcement in 2001, after what he calls a "revelation" from God. He essentially banished" and "incarcerated" himself for 22 years while living in various forests and many inner cities.
The author now conducts interviews with various media outlets, such as The 700 Club with Pat Robertson, NPR, Snap Judgement, schools, groups, and various organizations about avoiding crime and corruption. He is particularly focused on admonishing youths about the dangers of crime. He has dedicated his life to exposing corrupt police officers and their unfair tactics.
This book is a true memoir, based on the time periods of 1979-2001. This book is a very excellent inspirational story about overcoming incredible odds. The books' central theme is "transformation and repentance", coupled with his spiritual journey.
What was especially interesting about the author's past life is that he was a former devout atheist. The book details the cities, states, and national forests he lived in, how he survived in the woods, how he dealt with the harsh elements, what animals he hunted and consumed, how he dealt with loneliness, and what led him to "voluntarily" surrender in the year 2001.
His articles and books are both interesting and useful, dealing with such issues as.....
Tips for females to avoid the crime of rape, tips to help one detect bad cops if stopped and what to do, what to do and say if you're arrested, should you take a lie detector test, what to do and how to act if jailed, clemencies and extraditions, paroles and probations, illegal police interrogation tactics, felonies, misdemeanors, summons and warrants, searches and seizures, and the detection and reporting of corruption.
His book was so unbelievable when first released that CBS investigated his story for weeks, and aired a special documentary about the author's life in early May of 2007.
Mr. Davis was soo sickened by his past over forty years ago, that he has embarked on a dangerous but noble assignment... to author his "tell all" books about bad cops and corruption and investigate and expose all bad law enforcers. As a token of his personal regret as a former rogue officer nearly 40 years ago, and in dedication to all his victims, part of the author's proceeds from the sales of "Running Scared" are donated to various charities.
Some of his donations are to: St. Jude Children's Hospital (in memory of Tamara Burns Wallace), The Prevent Child Abuse Center, Crime Stoppers, The Center of Hope for Women, the New Orleans Police Foundation and The Louisiana State Police foundation.
Legal Minds is the author's second book, co-authored with Dr. Roxanne Davidson, a Professor of Behavior Sciences. Legal Minds speaks not only about various crimes committed by criminals, but the book examines the mentality and behavior patterns of various criminals. He also consults with noted Criminologist Dr. Philip Matthew Stinson, a noted authority on police abuses.
PLEASE NOTE; Because of the possibility of past threats that the author has receive due to the nature of his books, interviews, and investigations, strict security procedures are in effect when attempting to contact Mr. Davis. Any and all threats made through any communication devices are reported to the appropriate local and federal law enforcement agencies immediately for prosecutions. In addition, all communications to the author may be taped, recorded and monitored by law enforcement agencies.
Lastly, please note, the author is not anti cop, but anti "bad cop". He also donates profits to the New Orleans Police Department and Louisana State Police for sensitivity training, protection vest equipment, and other logistical needs.
