DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen a police raid goes wrong, the fallout is deadly Nick Manaris is a promising detective, but he’s lost his love for the job. After years wading through the worst the city has to offer, life as a cop has begun to feel like torture. Assigned to work with slick detective Sonny McCabe and his gang of cowboys, Nick knows he’s gotten in over his head. Sonny believes a gang of Cubans has come to an agreement with the Mafia, trading guns for drugs, and he wants to nip their alliance in the bud. He convinces Nick to get them a warrant for a raid, and the result is tragic. The information given by Sonny’s snitch is wrong, and the raid turns into a bloody mess. With two cops and a host of suspects dead, Nick and his fellow officers are marked for revenge—and their lives are about to get a whole lot worse.

Based primarily on the experience in the United States, but equally relevant to the United Kingdom and Europe, the book reveals the enormous energy, effort and money that is being put into creating a vast domestic intelligence network to track every man, woman and child. A fascinating insight into the world of 'big brother'.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOur criminal justice system favors defendants who know how to play the "5K game": criminals who are so savvy about the cooperation process that they repeatedly commit serious crimes knowing they can be sent back to the streets if they simply cooperate with prosecutors. In Snitch, investigative reporter Ethan Brown shows through a compelling series of case profiles how the sentencing guidelines for drug-related offenses, along with the 5K1.1 section, have unintentionally created a "cottage industry of cooperators," and led to fabricated evidence. The result is wrongful convictions and appallingly gruesome crimes, including the grisly murder of the Harvey family in Richmond, Virginia and the well-publicized murder of Imette St. Guillen in New York City. This cooperator-coddling criminal justice system has ignited the infamous "Stop Snitching" movement in urban neighborhoods, deplored by everyone from the NAACP to the mayor of Boston for encouraging witness intimidation. But as Snitch shows, the movement is actually a cry against the harsh sentencing guidelines for drug-related crimes, and a call for hustlers to return to "old school" street values, like: do the crime, do the time. Combining deep knowledge of the criminal justice system with frontline true crime reporting, Snitch is a shocking and brutally troubling report about the state of American justice when it's no longer clear who are the good guys and who are the bad.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHAVE YOU EVER WORKED FOR AN IDIOT? While the characters and events in this book are fictitious, most people will point to at least one story and say, "That happened to me" or "I worked for that Idiot." WHY BUY THE BOOK? The current book presents examples as though a manager would actually adopt these, with this adoption creating an Idiot manager. A sampling of some lessons for managers: If you can't dazzle them with brillance, then confuse them with the absurd. A happy employee is a conspiring employee. When an employee makes an accusation, ask a question. This diverts attention from you and raises the issue of whether the employee is capable of knowing anything. If the company wanted employees to have personal lives, then it would have issued personal lives. Through the use of mental torture, you can achieve both physical and mental disturbances in employees, yet, you're not liable for physical torture. If you've ever worked for an idiot, then this book will hopefully provide some insight into the making of an idiot manager and in the process provide some laughter.
