Coming up on Fresh Air, former NYPD cop, Steve Osborne talks about his 20 years on the job. He's saved lives, made thousands of arrests, was caught in an angry mob, but never fired his gun.
"You have different tools. You've got a nightstick, you've got mace, you've got a taser, you've got a gun. The gun is your last resort; that is your last resort," says Osborne.
Osborne's memoir is now out on paperback. Listen to Fresh Air today at 11AM on KTTZ-HD2. You can also stream it live from the KTTZ website.
