Blood on Sunset: a new excerpt from "Bury Me On Sunset." Tissues not included.

Blood on Sunset

Kevin James had two loves, but they couldn’t coexist. Life with his Ex had been one continuous party, until their daughter Claire was born. Kevin adapted to new responsibilities, but his Ex couldn’t. She left one night without so much as a note. Kevin and Claire were on their own.

Kevin worked most days at Trader Joe’s, while Claire was in school. The parties scene faded in his…

Police Swag: Is It Worth Dying For?

Police Swag: Is it worth dying for?

As a Marine, I was supposed to be willing to die for the Flag. That mixture of symbols represented everything “Murica” and if my life was sacrificed on on the battlefield for those colors, so be it. Marines have pride. Pride for days.

Come at me, bro!

But what about Cops? Is our Police Swag worth paying the ultimate price for? Specifically what about a delightf…

For A Fistful of Dollar: Bury Me On Sunset

For a fistful of dollar: the tale of three lives ruined by fear. New Bury Me on Sunset is out!

For a fistful of dollar

Gavin was riding his skateboard at night near Lincoln Park while his mother was walking a few feet away. As Gavin practiced his sick skateboard tricks, he was absorbed by the board. His tight jeans and Justin Bieber style haircut were perfectly fashionable in other circles. In the dank shadows of El Castillo, he may as well have painted “prey” on his back.

A Bachelor's In Street Science: Bury Me On Sunset

Ever had difficulty taking to someone? Try dropping F Bombs like it's D-Day! New "Bury me on Sunset" is out!

WARNING: this blog post contains foul language.

Vernacular. Cool word, bro. It means the “language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people in a particular country or region.” I speak three and happily conflate them in my writings: Marine, Californian, and Collegiate. I learned that by adopting certain mannerisms, verbs, and sentence structures, I could ensure effective communication with people…

...And Now For Something Completely Different:

The Millennial Dragon.

Police Departments hire Nerds!

Police Departments are hiring Nerds! Join me in stopping the trend before it's too late!

Here at Jack Catchem.com, I handle only the most critical, fascinating, and deeply troubling issues confronting law enforcement from a Fabulously Californian perspective. This Thursday’s revelation is a real mind bender, so hold onto your butts. Based on my extensive internet research, I am horrified to report Police Departments hire nerds!

You say “Nerd.” I say “LEVEL 10, B!+c#!”

Stop The Gender Biased Police Physical Fitness Tests!

Stop the Gender Biased Police Fitness Tests! Save the Lady Cops!

Halt! PoliceOne.com (CNN for cops) just blew my mind. A judge decided police physical fitness tests are GENDER BIASED. This must stop! Social Justice Warriors ASSEMBLE!

I don’t always go to the Hoe Garden, but when I do, I bring backup.

Per the article, some insane Colorado Police Department instituted a mandatory physical fitness test and lady cops failed out in a disproportionate number to the…

Jack Catchem Reviews "Without Fear Or Favor"

Jack Catchem Reviews "Without Fear Or Favor" a new first for the blog!

Without Fear Or Favor

Here’s a new bent for this blog. Some perceptive internet-person sent me a book in exchange for a review. Words for words? Seems like an equivalent exchange. Thus this: Jack Catchem.com’s first book review: “Without Fear or Favor” by Robert K. Tanenbaum. (I received no cash for this review, just a free book. Which is like a free drink for an alkie.)

I love alcohol! I mean,…

That's how you get shot: Bury Me On Sunset

Here’s another excerpt from “Bury Me On Sunset.” Do you want to get shot?

Chapter 22: Because that’s how you get shot.

Six hours after “celebrating” Mr. Rodilla’s Meth powered Birthday, Gus and I returned to Sunset, the street of bad dreams. At three a.m., even Sunset clears of traffic. There is a certain serenity that envelops the streets in the earliest morning hours. After the witching hours…

When should a cop pay off their mortgage.

American Cops aren’t living in modern times. While everyone else is decades ahead of us in finance, WE ARE STUCK IN THE 50’s! What could possibly evoke this from me? Simple. We have pensions, houses, and usually only a single employer throughout our lives. Most civilians have multiple employers, 401ks, and are even starting to be self insured for their…
