"They had all applied for the assignment: plainclothes anti- crime patrol in one of the city's most dangerous and violent neighborhoods. That's what put Pittsburgh Police officers Michael Saldutte, Richard Ewing, and David Sisak together in an unmarked "99" car on the night of January 12, 2010, rolling slowly through the city's Homewood neighborhood"-- Provided by publisher.
