Street Warrior : The True story of the NYPD’s Most Decorated Detective and the Era that created him.
2,000 arrests, 100 off duty arrests, 6,000 assists. 15 shootings. 8 shot. 4 kills. These are not the performance statistics of an entire NYPD unit. They are the record that makes 2nd grade Ralph Friedman a legend.
Friedman was arguably the toughest cop to wear the shield and was the most decorated detective in NYPD’s 170 year history.
Stationed at the South Bronx notorious 41 Precinct, known by its nickname “Fort Apache”, Friedman served during the city’s most dire times. The 1970’s and 80’s, when fiscal crisis, political disillusionment, an out of control welfare system,and surging crime and drug use were just a few of its problems.
Street Warrior tells an unvarnished story of harrowing vice and heroic grit, including Friedman’s reflections on racial profiling, confrontations with citizens he swore to protect and the use of deadly force.
