Rough Justice: Days and Nights of a Young D.A. by David Heilbroner
A so-so book. It had crimes mentioned that the author covered that I was dying to look more into, but unfortunately as he mentioned in the beginning, he had to change some things for privacy reasons...Has a very 1980's feel to it, which isn't a bad thing, I enjoyed reading about how things were done a few decades ago. I learned what a "farebeat" and a "token-sucker" are. I don't live in a huge city, so that was new to me. It is a bit bogged down in some parts, where I just skimmed thru.

Explores the dramatic event that launched a worldwide rights movement. When police raided a Mafia-run gay bar in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, gay men and women did something they had not done before: they fought back. As the streets of New York erupted into violent protests and street demonstrations, the collective anger announced that the gay rights movement had arrived.
This film tells the story of the massive police raid of Stonewall in June 1969.
