Rupp is the kind of cop who walks into a group of drug dealers in South Los Angeles and pulls up a milk crate for a chat. He's the officer with all the good stories. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven on his honeymoon in Mexico, on a chartered flight, along with twenty-one other passengers, the new couple's plane crashed into a swamp mixed with sewage water overspill and loaded with hundreds of crocodiles, snakes and leeches. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his mostly hilarious, sometimes sad, and always honest debut book, \u003ci\u003eThe Duck Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, Rupp shares a cross-section of some of his most hair-raising experiences on the police force. He describes patrolling the streets on the hunt for crooks; in the world of law enforcement, sometimes the old adage, \"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, it's probably a duck,\" is true-but sometimes it's not. Rupp candidly details having to confront and analyze offenders' daily behavior in order to categorize them as a threat or simply as people enjoying themselves on the wrong side of the law.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFull of stories that could each be its own action movie, \u003ci\u003eThe Duck Theory\u003c\/i\u003e will surprise you again and again with its honesty, humor, and insight into the baffling world of Los Angeles crime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45512111423639,"sku":"9781495427305","price":1787.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781495427305.webp?v=1767172646","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-duck-theory-9781495427305","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
