Wild Mook (think a cross between a book and and magazine) is a Japanese fanzine from the 1980s dedicated to American police culture.  Love this quote via BoingBoing about the creator, Haruo Mizuno:

[Mizuno was] so obsessed with American cops that he actually managed to talk the NYPD and LAPD into letting him ride along with officers. This amazing book is but one of dozens he authored on the topic. None sum up the Japanese fascination with the American power aesthetic as much as this fetish-like pastiche of uniform, hamburgers, weapons, and mountains of french fries, though.
