The El Paso Matters Book Club gathered Tuesday, Oct. 29, at Clardy Fox Library for a discussion with author Ron Stallworth about his book “The Gangs of Zion: A Black Cop’s Crusade in Mormon Country.”

Stallworth shared stories from his life and career as a police detective in Wyoming and Utah.

He didn’t hold back, sharing what it was like dealing with gangs like the Bloods and Crips, and even rapped a few lines from N.W.A’s “Fuck tha Police.”

More than 30 people attended the discussion, an event of the Book Club that brings you author Q&As, book reviews and special gatherings. To join the club, sign up here.
