by Loren W. Christensen
Veteran street cop Loren Christensen explores one of the most frightening yet fascinating occurrences of modern society: riots. In Riot, Christensen leads you deep inside angry mobs and brings you along with the cops who clash head-to-head with them in the streets to show you in riveting detail what a riot is, how and why it happens, who participates and what it feels like to be in the middle of one. You will learn about:
The
powerful psychological influences that affect everyone involved, from street cop to bottle thrower
to business owner
Typical
conditions that set the stage for a major riot, and common triggers that set the
violence in motion
The many
kinds of riots -- race,
sports, prison, political -- and how they are all equally intense, destructive
and deadly
Through his own experiences as a military and big-city police officer on the front lines of
riots; interviews with
protestors, cops, reporters, prison guards and a host of other players; and
the words of experts on crowd psychology and mob violence, Christensen paints a graphic portrait of
the riot experience in the streets of America and around the world.
Loren Christensen’s service as a military policeman in
Saigon during the Vietnam
War, his 25 years as a street cop in Portland, Oregon, and his training in the martial arts
since 1965 have provided him with real-world perspective on truly functional
self-defense techniques (and earned him a spot on the list of "20 toughest
streetfighters" by Black Belt magazine)
