"description": "A reasonably engaging piece of copaganda . The groups the author helped impede, bring down and infiltrate are all, with little argument, terrible and his actions — as described — were well intentioned, a thing he was trained to do and accomplished the goal of his time undercover. Is all positive portrayal of law enforcement copaganda ? Well, gestures broadly , given the state of things, there's an argument to be made. The Base was and is vile. Good on you for that Scott and for the rest of what you described here. The book is, also, three or so vignettes over the course of a 3 decade career, which leaves a lot unsaid. Are they the 3 high points? The 3 that were cleared? I dunno. I'm happy to say that these 3 cases, as described, were well handled. I reserve the right to remain skeptical of law enforcement generally and an author that has spent time doing the rounds talking to Glenn Beck and the right-wing bro-sphere.",
