Gina Gallo Chicago Cop Author

Gina Gallo worked the really tough assignments in Chicago for 16 years but due to serious injuries in the line of duty she was forced into an early retirement. With a Master’s Degree Gallo was better educated than most cops and was by no means a wilting violet. Gallo could kick ass and take names with the best of them but what would you expect from a second-generation cop? During her police career Gallo, a single mom raised two fine boys who have since grown up and made their mom proud though their military service.

Incidentally, Gallo is a six-foot tall Amazon warrior and adrenalin junkie who has graduated to the ranks of accomplished writers. Gallo’s books hit the street a while back and are available through her website, but now at least one her books is in development for a film. I strongly suspect that great things will be flowing from Gallo’s red-hot computer for many years to come. Gallo has opened those Hollywood doors with a sledgehammer just like if they were at the entrance of some Chicago crack house.

Look for Gallo’s personal appearance on The News Hour with Jim Leher on PBS in the evening September 11, 2006. The show will be exploring the impact of the 9/11 attack on America five years later.

G is an inspiration.

She has been through the good, bad and... the very ugly. For someone who came very close to ending up on the memorial wall, she is quite the fighter just like her old man, who was also CPD.

I can only wish her the very best and we're always here to support her.

She's someone who can kick ass and take names, holding her own.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive. Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning. That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed. It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide. Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community. Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
