He arrived at the scene; his backup had disappeared. Then he heard the screams. Peeking around the corner of the tenement apartment building he saw two men holding down a young naked girl, viciously raping her while she screamed in absolute terror.
In his fi rst three years on patrol, Officer Sean Mulcahy arrested murderers, rapists, armed robbers, drug dealers, prostitutes, pimps, and encountered department and political corruption at the highest levels. He suffered a bruised trachea, a broken hand, heat stroke, a fence-punctured hand, two broken teeth, and a severe head injury. He was shot at and covered with human and animal excrement, lice, fleas, and other parasites while working in an extremely dangerous part of Kansas City, enduring it all to protect and serve the citizens in his district.
Mulcahy answers timeless questions and misconceptions about police work, like: Why aren't you out stopping real crime instead of writing me a ticket? Why did you have to get physical with that person? You don't even care about the people in the inner city, do you? These questions and more are addressed by using Officer Mulcahy's actual police experiences. Shotgun Summer is a collection of over sixty-five true stories of his first three years on patrol.
