MSCOZY avatar reviewed NYPD Blue Lies: The Shocking True Story of Racism, Corruption, Cover-Ups and Murder in the NYPD on
This was an interesting read to me. Half of my family are retired NYPD so what he talks about is basically true. There is a problem of racism in the NYPD but some of the things Castro went through, I think he brought them on himself. Two of my family knew him personally and were not impressed by his manner. He was a jokester and some of the actions he did were a little wild. He was known to be a smart mouth and that never leads to easy times in any job. I think he has a high opinion of himself and expects others to feel likewise. I am not sure if what he says really happened as he recounts; there are always two sides to everything. If you like to read about cops and the machinations in the NYPD mgt., this may appeal to you.
