Owens, Tom; Browning, Rod Lying Eyes : The Shocking Truth Behind the Corruption and Brutality of the LAPD and the Beating of Rodney King
New York, NY, U.S.A. Thunder's Mouth Press 1994 1560250747 / 9781560250746 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Very-nice, clean copy - Stated First Edition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - ONLY writing/mark inside book is previous owner's signature and "read" mark in book front on blank page - Dustcover shows mild wear and 1 small, closed tear. NO tears inside book - Former Los Angeles Police Department officer Tom Owens reveals the difficult truths he discovered and enormous changes he underwent in his two-year investigation of police misconduct on behalf of Rodney King. In this excoriating firsthand account, Owens carries the reader through his investigation, often in riveting step-by-step detail, to reveal previously undisclosed information from his personal files. He finds his former employer guilty of institutionalized racism, brutality, and systematic manipulation of evidence. Lying Eyes offers a rare personal insight into Rodney King the man, including his responses to Owens' earliest interviews with him. Working in close quarters with Rodney King, Owens depicts a "quiet, shy, hulking man" whose victimization continues to this day. A cry of outrage from the center of the storm, Lying Eyes exposes manipulation by and of the media, political influence and interference, and abuses of power at all levels of government. Owens reviews the histories of violence of the accused, the Simi Valley trial, the resulting riots in which 51 died, and the subsequent federal convictions of Stacy Koon and Laurence Powell, sentenced to a federal facility know as "Club Fed". An insider's view of police life, from training at the Los Angeles Police Academy to the scorn of his former friends, this is a personal story of trust betrayed and a far reaching testimony of deception, violence, and anger.
