Walking the Thin Blue Line is a peek into the life of a young black man who grew up in the hostile streets of South-Central Los Angeles. He chose to spend 15 years as a Los Angeles Police Officer in an effort to change the perception of police officers in his community. His career was cut short when he was faced with the decision - stand with the department in a corrupt Officer Involved Shooting Cover-up or stand with the victim and tell the truth regarding the shooting.

Despite paying a heavy price for his decision. Former Sergeant Larry Tate believes the police profession is a noble profession badly in need of reform. He is both pro-police and pro-community. He believes there can be reconciliation between police and communities of color if both are willing to admit their faults and look for ways to improve their relationship.

The events you read about in this book are true. Hopefully, after reading this book you will have a better understanding of the many dangers and challenges police officers face daily.

Unfortunately, police officers find themselves in a position where if they step off the thin blue line, they are killed or injured, or face the possibility of being fired and in some cases sent to prison.
