Description
In this episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, retired Milwaukee Police Sergeant Patrick O'Donnell reads Chapter 2, I Don't Want to Know, from his upcoming book:
Police Stories: Street Cop to Sergeant — True Crime, Chaos, & Life as a Big City Cop
These are true stories from Patrick's years working the streets of Milwaukee as a veteran officer, FTO, and eventual sergeant - stories of chaos, dark humor, tragedy, and survival that don't make it onto TV shows.
All stories are real. Names and locations have been changed where necessary.
🎧 This episode includes:
— A domestic call that turns into one of the most brutal murder scenes of Patrick's career
— The discovery of an elderly woman beaten, strangled, and left in a basement
— A chance encounter at Froedtert Hospital with the man responsible - and the self-control it took to walk away
— A conversation with a nurse that says everything about how people survive doing impossible jobs
📘 About the Book:
