On May 1, 1969, 19-year-old Bob Brodnik’s life changed forever. His father, Joe Brodnik—a devoted San Francisco police officer and his personal hero—was killed in the line of duty. Decades later, Bob makes the same pilgrimage every year to his father’s grave, revisiting not just memories, but the pain, rage, and devastation that shaped his life.

All You Can Handle is more than a memoir; it’s a raw, unflinching exploration of grief, resilience, and what it truly means to serve and protect. As a young man, Bob was thrust into a world of unimaginable loss and chaos, grappling with addiction, family fractures, and a city teetering on the edge of collapse. Through his 32-year career as a San Francisco police officer, he discovered that being a "street cop" is more than a job—it’s a calling, one that demands unwavering strength, compassion, and courage in the face of darkness.
