Sinopsis

2016 was a heartbreaking year for law enforcement agencies across the U.S., with 140 officers being killed in the line of duty. áTheir deaths, and the deaths of those who died so long ago, should never be forgotten. Officer Down, Vol. I, is a compilation of eighteen riveting stories of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty between 1850 and 1900. áThese stories are pulled directly from various newspapers across the United States, captivating the reader just as they did when first put to print. áMany of the stories are so mesmerizing, you can practically hear the gunfire erupt while choking on the pungent aroma of spent gun powder as it fills the air. áThe book begins with the shooting of Newark, New Jersey Police Officers Benjamin Elsden and Augustus Dickerson, in July 1876. áThe shootings were perpetrated by three notorious brothers, who met justice in an unconventional manner. The final chapter is a fascinating case involving the death of multiple law enforcement officers in the state of Washington, at the hands of Thomas Blanck. áThis book is a tribute to all of the men and women who wear a badge and carry a weapon for a living. áThese stories are retold, so they will never be forgotten.á
