Life is always looked at through our own eyes. Our education, either formal or street learned enters into the equation as we make judgments (which we all do) about other people and their lives.
Raymond Randle, Jr. is, today, a successful businessman. Encouraged by those around him, Raymond has begun to put his life on paper so others may see what he went through to achieve what he has in this sometimes violent and cruel world.
The first part of his autobiography is now in bookstores around the world.
His book tells of a black man growing up in Oakland and Berkeley, California. He talks about the trials and tribulations he went through as he began to shape his outlook on life. Raymond was taught human ethics and humility by his parents and, as he became an adult and served his country in the military, those beliefs shaped his future.
From the Marine Corps to working as a Berkeley Police officer, Raymond shares sometimes sad and sometimes funny experiences as he proudly held on to those ethics given to him by his parents. Raymond not only fought drugs and criminals on the streets of Berkeley, but the drug lords and the corruption and deterioration of the law he enforced. He does not mince words, he tells it like it was.
