This book goes deeper, into what it means to be a man, more particularly a Black man, and to overcome every obstacle along the way to redemption. -Zora Knauf If Fred Reynolds\'s memoir Black, White and Gray All Over was just about being a cop in Compton, California, dealing with gangs, murders, officers killed in the line of duty, and the politics that drives it all, it would be worth the read.
An honest, no-holds-barred history of the city of Compton\'s gang violence, crack epidemic, and legacy of government corruption leaves readers of all backgrounds with a better understanding of race relations as well as the Gray areas of policework in one of America\'s most brutal cities.
Black, White & Gray All Over not only recounts the stories of Frederick\'s Life and career but also the stories of his fellow officers.
The traumatic and highly demanding nature of the work, however, took its toll on both his family and personal life-something Frederick was able to conquer but only after years of distress and regret.
From recruit to detective, Frederick experienced a successful career marked by commendations and awards.
No one would have guessed he would have a future as a cop in one of the most dangerous cities in America in the 1980s-Compton, California.
Frederick grew up a creative and sensitive child but found himself lured down the same path as many Black youth in that era.
