Rushed back to the TKC basement HQ tonight in order to put this on blast because a lot of police, graveyard shift workers and probably a few crooks check the blog during their late night breaks.
To wit . . .
HERE'S TKC FIRST WORD OF AN EPIC UPCOMING KANSAS CITY POLICE MEMOIR!!!
The title alone is worthy of praise for its honesty . . .
Peckerwood in the Hood, Misadventures of a Kansas City Cop
Description . . .
"Peckerwood in the Hood is the brutally honest tale of an average white cop’s gut-wrenching journey through Heaven and Hell as he tries to police a largely minority inner city. Adrenaline rushes, sleepless nights, gunfights, wrestling criminals, suspicion, dark humor, anxiety, protective instinct, hyper-vigilance, gun cabinets clanking shut, phones ringing and handcuffs rattling at two in the morning. That is the life the author lived and shares in this book. Peckerwood in the Hood will open your eyes to the truth of being a cop in inner city America. Anyone considering a career in law enforcement will jump off that fence they are straddling, on one side or the other. Police and military families will gain valuable insight to help them cope when their heroes come home. Peckerwood in the Hood is a wild and humorous roller coaster ride through the inner city."

We'll have A LOT MORE on this impressive bit of Kansas City storytelling in the very near future but right now this FIRST WORD OF A KICK-ASS KANSAS CITY POLICE TELL ALL should offer something to think about for the overnight.
Why are there white police men in the black neighborhoods?
ReplyDeleteDon't you have any black police men?
Then I do not want black officers in my white neighborhood!
DeleteFuck you Shithouser ! Take it in the ass
ReplyDeleteShould be a page turner. Raw, gritty, bitter, sweet and down right nasty. Where can I buy it? Hope I'm not in it...lol! Joke!?!
ReplyDeleteShithouser time for your butt fucking from your sweetie
ReplyDeleteByron. When your brother was mayor he tried to recruit black cops and he said himself that nobody in black neighborhoods wanted to join the force
ReplyDeletedamn good stuff. Look forward to reading.
ReplyDeleteI am going to buy a copy and read it while I ride the TOY TRAIN.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but isn't Tony the most brilliant wordsmith?
Does he name names or just have great descriptive narratives so we can guess who they are?
ReplyDeleteTrash cover design.
ReplyDeleteByron is stealing his service. What a sad fuck he is . He doesn't have any Idea what happens here.
ReplyDeleteQuite a Freudian slip here. Peckerwood is an Aryan Nations prison gang.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they talk about the misuse of the e-tax.
ReplyDelete2:25, that is frightening, yet true. And so Kansas City, come to light?
ReplyDeleteHate the cover artwork. Sounds like he wants a movieeal?
ReplyDeleteFor Mr. Funkhauser:
ReplyDeleteWhen the black police chief of Cleveland was asked about the racial mix of officers serving in black communities in his city, his response was, "If the only officers who can police black neighborhoods have to be black, then we've lost".
Perhaps your question should be addressed to the chief.
By the way, when you're a hammer, the whole world's a nail.
Better question Byron, why havn't all those blacks moved back to Africa? They all identify and whine about being black and even the President encouraged them to revel in their "Blackness" last week at commencement at Rutgers.
ReplyDeleteLemme answer this for you dumbfuck.
Because without white people, blacks would be living under trees eating bananas. To make even more money off of people who work, while you complain, complain even more and threaten them with violence.
Here is why, Byron, you ignorant slut, blacks and everyone else on earth want to live in America.

So go ahead and pretend that blacks would be working on the Collider and solving that pesky Cold Fusion problem. But the truth is, that everyone with at least room temp IQ knows they are a violent, genetically inferior, ignorant excrescence on our collective asses as we try to move forward.
Go fuck yourself you miserable piece of shit. You can't blame blacks for believing the Liberal shit fed to them day and night that keep Democrats in power, but we can all see the truth of your sick twisted agenda and the scumbag puke fucks who, like you, euchre us out of cash, power and our future in the new sickening Amerka where old, used up fags piss in urinals next to our daughters.
If anyone, including the protesters, marchers, and other do-gooders, would like an eye-opener, just schedule a ride-along with the East Patrol officers on the dog watch on a Friday or Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteThe shift starts at 7:30pm and goes until 6:30am
Stay the whole time.
You'll get a preview of the behavior and danger that the police face every day and that will appear online regularly once police get body cameras.
A good dose of reality should really help rationalize the discussion.
At last someone in Kansas City has written a book that will out sell that worthless King of Sting and will hopefully make that Glazer asshole shut the fuck up. Oh, I am so sorry Sal Manna we all know you're the one who wrote the book based on the ramblings of a fool.
ReplyDeleteDavid Rawlings, I'm sure will present a great story in his first book, and I'm sure it will soon be in production as a major Hollywood movie probably staring someone say like Jason Statham or Daniel Craig in the leading role. At last, Kansas City has someone who no doubt has a real story to tell that people of the world will want to hear and see.
^^^^^^You forgot to mention Rawlings has his own really nice website that makes anything CG has done look like crap. Oh, excuse me, I was making a funny. CG has no website, he sucks off of everyone else's sites.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to tell a story about knuckleheads, red necks, swine and perverts, you have to look at the Jackson County Sheriff's Department. The KCMO police is a collection of princes next to the fuckstick sheriffs.
ReplyDeleteTrue Dat
ReplyDeleteByron is the biggest racist on this blog. All we ever hear from him is black, black, black, black......

ReplyDelete"You're killing me, Smalls." (Sandlot) This is the author of "Peckerwood in the Hood, Misadventures of a Kansas City Cop" speaking. Let me clarify a couple of things. The title refers to a racist slur (Peckerwood) blurted out to me by a young black male college student before I even graduated from the police academy, when he saw several of us cadets in the hallway on a break from class. Nobody had said (or ever said) a word to him. He thought he was funny and was trying to impress his friends. Peckerwood is basically the "N-Word" for whites. I was called a lot of things during my 25-year police career but Peckerwood was my favorite. So I used it as my central character. He is a peckerwood, wearing a hood, standing in the hood, thus the title & cover. The subtitle (misadventures) shows my sense of humor and refers to all of the bizarre things cops see, stories in my book. It's one-of-a-kind. Enjoy. Yes, there are some ignorant white supremacists in prison and out walking around that use a woodpecker as their symbol and the word peckerwood in their literature. It has nothing to do with my book. Regarding the cover design, my publisher is an award winning graphic artist and ad guy who took my original cover design and tweaked it a bit (made it better). We had a cover design contest for my book and it won (although his other design rocked too). We have received 99% positive feedback on the design and book title. It is intended as an attention grabber. Mission accomplished. It might even win an award. Movie? Perhaps. We will keep you in mind. Thanks for chiming in, peace to all of you and if you think you can do better I will send you an application for the Ferguson, MO P.D. I hear they are hiring. Respectfully, Peckerwood (somewhere in the Kansas City Hood)
I think the book cover is pretty cool. Haters can't stop hating but it looks like this guy has the guts to put his words out there into the world and stand up for what he says. That's cool nowadays.
ReplyDeleteAmen, D.W. Great book (I've seen the ARC); great job. I'll be purchasing copies for my own family members who are police officers. Keep up the good work.
