A VICE News investigation has identified an alarming pattern of largely unchecked abuses within LMPD's narcotics unit, which for years has used residential search warrants to target Louisville’s West End, where the vast majority of the city’s black community lives.

who's signature is on those warrants that judge is corrupt
Go look at the detectives spending habits, house, boats, cars. compare that to some of the other cops. might show you the dirty ones.
When I had police steal 800 dollars worth of hunting equipment from me my lawyer told me do you want to beat the charges or get your stuff back. 🤔
@@justinwalker8364 yeah i bet he put a private detective on him😉
YOU’RE FAKE NEWS!!
Damn, it’s almost like police corruption is a huge problem in America
Lmao right 🤦🏻♀️😡🙄It’s bad
Always has been
Not to mention drug dealers...
Lol ... "Almost"
Naw, this is not a reg thing. You dont even know how many police departments there are and how few of these corrupt cops there are. All you hear about is the big cities and the worst cases. Your assumptions dont lead to any good so inform yourself before spreading bullcrap to other gullible morons
It should be illegal for any police department to handle corruption internally, rather than having a third party investigation.
And yet both republican & dem politicians kiss law enforcements' asses. Biden wants to increase police funding... Yeah, because giving more money to corrupt thieves is such a good idea 🙄 You're right. There needs to better oversight and accountability rather than flushing more taxpayer money down the toilet on departments rotten to the core with bad apples. If they refuse to clean up their act defund them.
@@AlcideIzMine Law enforcement and policing do serve an important and necessary role in our communities when done properly and within the confines of the law. The reality is police officers are just people, and they are only as good as the system that they work under and the training they receive. If by "defunding" the police, you mean limiting their budgets so they don't have weapons and equipment that were designed for the combat zones in the middle east, then I agree. The solution to the problem with police isn't just taking away their money, it's making sure the money is being spent properly. It's making sure officers will be held accountable as individuals for actions they commit. It is changing the culture of policing so that officers will step up and tell the truth instead of hiding behind the so called "blue wall of silence."
@old man strength Yeah when they are doing their job properly. Not when they refuse to prosecute cases that absolutely deserve to go to trial. Many DAs protect the police because they regularly work with them.
@old man strength I like how you act like someone being older means they are somehow more intelligent. Age garners experience, not intelligence. Regardless of my age, I know that district attorneys are supposed to be completely impartial and try whomever regardless of their position solely based on the preponderance of the evidence. What I said in my previous comment was how many district attorneys have a conflict of interest because the very same police officers that they are trying to prosecute potentially are the guys who they have known for years and who have worked with them potentially on other cases. I'm sure many DA's do a fantastic job and are completely impartial, but many others don't follow the word of the law and don't try cases that should have been brought to trial.
@old man strength Congratulations on being retired. I don't particularly care what you think, but I have a job and make good money. I have a lot more than $8k saved up, but go ahead with your stupid assumptions. I'm somehow "liberal" for wanting a transparent system? Typical piece of trash assuming they know someone and acting superior because they are insecure about some bullshit I don't even care about. I hope you have a nice retirement, but maybe watch a little less Newsmax and FOX.
"We've done an internal investigation and found no wrongdoing by the police officers involved" is a police station's favorite statement.
Why is it not called "Police Criminal Conduct" which it is. The People need protection from Criminal - Cops...
Politicians in the UK love it too specially when it comes to diddling kids.
All police departments need a civilian review board. Internal affairs doesn't make sense , You can't have cops babysit their own, All they're going to do is cover for them
Because the internal affairs are ex officers mostly . So they are governed by their own.🤦🏾♀️
EARNING THE HATE THAT THEY GET
So basically this documentary is telling us that "Training Day" was not fiction. OMG! WTF!?
...is your surprise sarcastic, or did you actually not expect this outcome from American policing?
they show it in movies to you so you get numb toj it :D and some people would actually say " cmon man we are not in the movie training day" :D
My brother's brand new vehicle was stolen in Louisville. My brother called them multiple times to ask them if they found it. They kept saying, no. He eventually found out (after it was auctioned off) that they found it the very next day after it was stolen. Please do a story on this issue next. He has phone records proving that he called them multiple times to ask if they found it yet. They lied about having it, just to buy time to auction it off as "unclaimed property." The Louisville police are criminals. Attorneys even told him they couldn't do anything, because the Louisville police are so good at legally committing crime.
That is crazy! By chance do you about how long it was from the car being recovered to when it was auctioned?
A Hispanic man traveling in the south to a party with food and dog in his car was stopped the police decided the soup was drugs and he was carted off to jail no one knows what happened to his car impounded his dog sent to animal control he was kept for some time before the drug lab said inconclusive. This stuff happens all the time. The courts have supported illegal search and seizure because of war on drugs makes it easy for them to steal and then keep money for that police dept to use. The courts say prove it's your cash and how you acquired it. A man traveling to a dentist in another state was stopped on highway the police took over $10k he was using for dental work and he never saw it again had committed no crime. Happens all the time on the I-40 interstate across country esp Arkansas and North Carolina.

12thst parkkill area⭐⭐⭐⭐ non-snitch self retired. Im the only nicca i ever met to pay a Kentucky state marijuana tax for every gram of weed.i got snitched on, and because i didn't rat and because they didn't get me with any money 😉i payed that tax on a misdemeanor amount 7oz. My homies got busted in a totally separate raid that same day, they, two brothers had over 50lbs and didn't have to pay no tax.(we all had paid lawyers) Who else do yall know to ever pay a ky state marijuana tax?.🤷♂️ They want drugs to stay illegal because its a income for departments all around the country they are all lining their pockets.🤢 its sickening how greedy they are, and act like they care for the community. Why dont they take seizures money and give it to the community they catch folks in🤷♂️ Every street nicca would agree to that.🤨💪😎
@@The_Internet_Is_Overrated no cartels do however. Drug dealers go to jail or get killed or smarten up and get jobs or become business owners. Most drug dealers can sell anything, drugs are just the most accessible thing to ppl that are poor.

Now they have them, and they turn them on and off and break them. There is no longer a cure for the complete Nazi era tactict of the police.

What the point of bodycam if officers can turn off the volume,videos getting lost n doing other ways to corrupt the video evidence.
My husband died in a cab in Louisville. The police stole his phone, which I was able to track to prove it, and $5K in cash & a blank check out of his wallet. Then one officer kept texting me asking for his social security number and other personal details. I looked up the officers involved and they had been arrested twice for similar things (yet were still cops). I had to call a different precinct to get her to stop. About 2 months later, a check was written against the account for $69,000. They’re corrupt as hell and heartless
😮 so sorry to hear this! We expect corruption but they should have some respect for the dead at least 🙄 not cool....

@@HI-PSI They shouldn't have ANY ability to stop recording. We should be watching them at all times. There should be a TV channel for each officer.

Fact
Authorities should be punished twice as hard when committing these crimes. They are suppose to protect and serve. But this system is just criminal. It's unreal.
It is mega rediculas but fact of the matter is neverany proof
EXACTLY!!! They're enforcing the law, so they should know it MUCH better than the rest of us and therefore be sentenced more harshly.
they get a pass because they are extorting,kidnapping and killing people who disovery the edicts of the ruling class which is what we call a criminal. If a pig does it it is totally fine, because in america cops are to be worshipped and are entitled to have their asses kissed. if you simply think of holding a cop accountable or question a cops action you're a cop hater.

@@jwvanhaarlem6400 "Welcome to America"? Yes. ... But "Welcome to the world"? ..No. This is not the world. America is not the world. When I'm in Asia it is the complete opposite of this.

This has happened to me. My Ex-Wife filed a bogus protection from abuse order during our divorce after I filed for custody of our children. The Police Detectives performed a search warrant/ home invasion robbery. They broke into my safe, stole money that wasn’t declared, then erased the video camera recordings to “tamper with the evidence” and dispose of it. In court, all four smiled @ me & waved. Who are you supposed to turn to when you’re armed robbed by the police ? The FEDS ? or is there just nobody & they got away with it… which they did
Yup. That’s why this is being journalized. It’s happening and it’s wrong but we have accepted the corruption.
No one gets away with anything. Believe it or not.

I wish I could like this a thousand times.
Report to federal agencies with credible info and take it to the news outlets that will report it.
Proactive policing is unconstitutional by irs very wording. All searches and seizures without a warrant issued by a sitting judge should be considered unconstitutional and dismissed from the books.
Funny you used irs instead of it's and that is unconstitutional also
This is definitely happening.
If “good cops” don’t speak up then they’re just as guilty.
Serpico - bullet to the head.
I think the problem is more that the “good” cops end up quitting because they realize their efforts to make things better are stepped on by how corrupted the system is
They do speak up but you and people who watch trash channels like this call them 'conspiracy theorists' and 'right wing extremists'.. in 2022 telling the truth is a bad thing especially if it's not what you've been taught to believe is the truth. Honestly, do you even know what's right and wrong anymore? 50% of America is driving with a blindfold on and a set of headphones on that are a direct loop from the media. You want to talk about corruption? The media is the most corrupt institution in the world.
I agree totally. This is happening in California, too. The reason is clear: Cops have one rule, above everything else: *_NEVER_*_ SNITCH ON ANOTHER COP!_ The so-called "good cops" are _just as guilty._ All cops take an oath to uphold the law. Did the "good cops" have their fingers crossed behind their backs when they swore an oath to uphold the law? When a cop has a good reason to suspect that another cop has stolen someone's money or property, the "good" cop needs to *_ARREST_*_ THE PERP!_ ...even if it's another cop; _ESPECIALLY_ if it's another cop!! Nothing will change unless/until that starts to happen. It's hard to arrest someone a cop knows, there's no doubt about that. But as long as this keeps happening, police departments are nothing more than _organized crime_ groups that prey on the public.
Ain't no such thing as a "good cop" they are ALL GUILTY 😠!!
Imagine being framed, robbed, abused and lied to by the very people who are suppose to "serve and protect you?" I feel for those guys and the fact that they feel so alone because they "fit" the negative stereotype of black men makes me feel sick.
It makes u sick and mentally ill, it's just like the soldiers who find out everything they have been told was a lie and they come home and commit suicide, then the court appointed lawyer is the handler who tells you are distract you into worrying about the charges instead of the wrongs they do, we have to do better for our future
They fit the negative stereotype of black men, or drug dealers? ..
If you don’t want trouble with the police don’t be black, it’s pretty simple.

My fiance was "robbed" by DEA agents. He's white and we live in California. They took 20 grand out of his safe. Half of that was my money. When they send a letter with a list of what was confiscated, that money wasn't listed. They also took his prescription pain medication, that was also not on the list. They never gave anything back they took. About 4 years later, I finally got to tell this story to a federal judge. He had these agents investigated and found out that they staged "fake" raids to rob people. They had been doing this for years and were at last arrested and charged. It's not just a Louisville or Kentucky problem. Law enforcement corruption is going on all over 😠
They are Totally 💯 out of control. ❤❤❤❤I’m sorry Brother.
I was stopped in Missouri and harassed. He searched my car. He had his dog walk around the car and he kept trying to push the dog down and the dog howled. I am a senior citizen, piano teacher, and it is obvious that I do NOT do anything harder than jelly bellies. He called in "backup" and could not find anything. He had me pull over off the freeway (70) and it got dark and after a couple hours, they got another call and took off. My (older) car battery was drained and I was stuck. There is NO WAY he would even think I was connected with crime. He kept my car registration. I have no idea what he could have been looking for, maybe hidden money? ( I don't have money, hidden or otherwise.) I will never forget that experience and also, I will never drive through Missouri again, even though I own property there. I was also stopped in Wyoming at a Loves and the police said I was reported as "drunk walking". I do not drink. It was freezing but he pulled up a chair and slept outside my car all night as I would not open the window as there was another man in regular clothes on the other side of the car and the policeman was wearing a reindeer hat. I was too tired to call the "real" police so I went to sleep in my car and was amazed the next morning that he was still there, sleeping in his chair, (or pretending to sleep) outside my car. I was worried that he might have frozen to death but then I noticed his police car lights were flashing behind me. I woke him up to make sure he was alive. I don't know if he was pretending to have slept there all night but he kept me safe. He looked across my dash and saw my cane and realized that I was NOT drunk walking. I dreamed that I was his grandmother and he was a little boy and had dragged a Christmas Tree over to my house.
They aren’t “missing”. The cops just resold them on the streets
Or possibly used the some of the drugs themselves. Threw a celebration for the “good job, boys!”. No doubt it also included unpaid sex workers they arrested earlier in the day and threatened to file charges against if they did all serve them sexually.
*resold to their non cop friends

The fact that the narcotics officer said he had done over 1000 search warrants and video was never involved in any of them.
Horrifying.
They wrote down 10,189 and only gave him back 10,010. How do they not understand its being stolen smh
I guess they deducted some kind of handling fee? /S
When they start getting sick off of tainted money you'll know who's stealing it.

This sh*t happened in Chicago for decades . $150k show up as $10k at the station
These cops are incredibly corrupt. I live in Louisville and my nephew was in a motor vehicle accident in 2020. He was injured and before being loaded into the ambulance, an LMPD officer at the scene emptied my nephews pockets and ended up keeping $1,300 that was in my nephews wallet. We had a withdrawal slip from my nephew's bank and his accident wasn't even part of a criminal investigation but despite our complaints to LMPD and other organizations we never got the money back. I know it's not a huge amount but it was a significant amount for my nephew who was 22 at the time.
Wow
The majority of cops are corrupt. It isn’t just location based, it’s everywheres sadly.
Police used their uniform to steal money from innocent people not using body camera & not reporting.
Just means they cannot be trusted. Police commit crimes on par with the general public. Case in point: A cop got caught fondling a dead woman's breast. Yeah, I said that right. Type it in to google. This is my hometown. Clops have been doing this hardcore. Hang out in the West End. Looking for something to do or they create a situation for fun. Search you and take your possessions. If you are stopped and you have a really nice car, expensive, you're a drug dealer. No, that's pastor. They saw all of us through one lens even if say like a 20 mile radius, everybody works, kids in school, no crime has been committed, if you own a nice home you bought it with drug money. I've been gone from the Ville for 20+years. Came back to visit and saw 26 police cruisers show up to a fight that was over before they swarmed. Caught in the drive thru for 45 minutes. No arrest, citation, nothing. Just strolling around talking and trying to appear as something they are not. Plus I read about the thefts a while back. Typical. Had a cop friend tell me what really goes on. I asked why do you not tell and his response was "I didn't do anything. That's about so and so". What? Everyone knows who these people are and do nothing. They just want to hang on long enough until they do 28 and retire with a pension. The rapist boasted about destroying those women's lives. There are no good clops. We are nothing to them and the majority doesn't mind one bit. Oh, snap! They care about the opioid voluntarily ingested, but seem to forget what crack did. This is running too long, but the rub is that I am not surprised at this. It's expected.
bruh that's so wrong in so many ways.. I can't even imagine what your nephew must feel when he sees an LV cop car nowadays..
I like that your team is exposing the real corruption in today's law enforcement agency thank you.
watch "The Wire", its from 2002 and it exposes those practices. This is something known by a lot of people for years, still nobody is changing anything.
Yeah huh? Corrupt cops taking money from law abiding drug dealers.
But what good has it really done, nothing will change.
Police departments are run by local governments. Corrupt societies produce corrupt cops. Where I live, the police serve the general interest rather than their own.
Didn’t expose jack nor did it prove he had 10k on him at the Time of arrest .
Very good editing. Every conclusion I took from watching the previously published videos were well exposed here.
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
theres no reason any good cop should be against wearing a bodycam and having all parts of their public intervention on record. Period.
Exactly. Funny how a group that’ll tell ya “if you’re innocent you shouldn’t have anything to hide” to justify illegal search and seizure is so quick to defend their own secrecy.
A drug king pin states 10 lbs was confiscated... But in court cops states that 3 lbs was taken... The judge drops the case...! And this is one that got caught... Imagine how many more departments in the U.S. is getting away with it?!

@@alwilson3204 absolutely
It’s weird when you find yourself siding with criminals, but then who are the criminals….
all low level criminals are committing crimes because of unfortunate circumstances theyve found themselves in. If police cared about drug addicts they would help them instead of raiding their homes and brutalizing them
I mean.. yeah, like what is a criminal anyways? 😂
That's the best and most perfect question! The lines are very blurred these days.
Cops are the worst criminals out there.
Preach. Seems like the POLICE
7:10 the money split between the prosecutors office too is WILD.
I'm sure this is more common than not in many small towns across the country. Raids aren't only carried out on suspected drug dealers. I can imagine how many have been swiped of their legal money.
If law enforcement officers are required to wear body cameras and don't, they have violated police policies breaking the law. They need to be investigated and fired and held accountable
Even then, all they have to say is that they had one on, but it "malfunctioned", and didn't record.
Key word accountable
Jailed
@c m mans got the bootlicking on copy paste
@c m says who? you? psh, get outta here with that take.
So not only are Officers grabbing cash but they are either doing drugs, or paying their informants tips in drugs, or planting drugs on people who don't possess drugs. Keep up the good work guys!
Cops still drugs and give them to other dealers to sell for them
On point
They are doing all of these things
Or selling the drugs.
How about cops wear body cams that can’t be muted or turned off?
The sad thing is that this happens all across America and the lawyers, judges, and prosecutors know and all of these people are under oath... if a law enforcement officer is caught doing anything like this they should be charged with conspiracy, racketeering, and have all assets seized and a mandatory sentence of 15 years

"Nobody cares about these people.". You can tell that's how they feel. Anybody who's been to court for a minor traffic violation and ends up leaving court feeling like they must have committed a felony, already knows. As rude as those judges can be.
They can be especially if there racist against black people.
Yes! No kidding! They're heartless for poor people. Smh.
Yep, I can even remember a judge holding a homeless man in contempt because he came to court in shorts. He spent 10 days in jail for that bullsh*t.
So many crooked judges that back up the government crime.

Corrupt police disgust me in the same way child predators do. They should get much harsher punishment than the average citizen.
Taking money as an officer is horrible, in no way is same as child predators
@@brenttirwin6737 I think it's just very different. But rot inside law enforcement is a very serious thing and can lead to all kinds of other consequences since you can no longer rely on an impartial upholding of the law. Just think about it. Lack of honesty by police isn't a stand-alone problem, there are so many consequences for the system.
Facts!!🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
@@brenttirwin6737 it's similar because they both abuse people that they are meant to protect
Yes!!! Harsher penalties for cops! You take an oath to represent and be the best you can be and that is not a protection shield that should be a standard and oath that if broken is worse than if never taken...harsher sentences for cops than average citizens 🎯
So after they tripped themselves up ,stopped counting on scene 😂
Oh wow!!! Mind blowing ❤️
Just look at these shady azz cops. They look like the most untrustworthy people you can find. This is disgraceful and ridiculously insane for these flat-out criminals to be called, law enforcement.
Jesus Christ was even killed by the police...........
I will never forget the time when I was 19 and working at a gas station. A woman came in crying, and began to tell her friend who also worked at the gas station, all about how police raided her home. The woman was totally traumatized, her children were traumatized. Her elderly mother was traumatized. Her home, and all her possessions were ruined and destroyed. The police had also verbally humiliated her as well. Listening to her tell it, there was no doubt at all she was telling the truth. And to top it all off, they found nothing illegal in her home.
There is no home now
Probably had the wrong address.
@@AJStone-eb7hb Just because it didn't happen to you, doesn't mean it didn't happen to someone else. The police make mistakes all the time.
@@Nishapur Yes, it happens to CRIMINALS. Normal people dont get raided, you have to be high on the police radar for them to even consider it.
Isn't this the same police department that shot a woman in bed. Who run the town the Mayor and Chief need to be in federal prison for 20years

I asked an undercover agent one time .how do you rationalize distributing drugs back onto the street when you know damn well they will end up in the hands of kids.. HIs only response was (hey ...there are no laws broken in the pursuit of justice)

These cops are sick,targeting this guy,stealing money.Glad you are exposing these corrupt,horrible cops.
True, but this guy is a dirtbag, and all his money came from illegal activities. Now wanna cry like he was just a victim. Wonder how much violence he has dished out.
Wendy u would make a great wife good looking out on the comment.
in the US 3 month's of education and you are a cop! in Europe 2 years, and a background check as well a few mental test's, to see if you have some tendency, like loving to have power over other people eccetera, these tests are hidden so you don't notice it, and also over cops or superior have always an eye on you, to see if your behavior changes when you wear an uniform because some people can't handle this! that's a common problem, and the US hire a lot of former military and than only 3 months education and this are the result!
@@Ezekiel903 You say three months training... I'm wondering if that's a federally mandated, universal training program for ALL officers in all levels of the system. Because I am sure as heck not about to believe that every officer, in both state and federal levels are ALL equally trained... Even if only for 3 months! Does Europe utilize a singular police force (Like most of Canada, which contracts from the federally trained force aka: RCMP) or is it separated into different jurisdictions, levels or such (like the rest of Canada, who may choose to use a city police force or a separate provincial force instead of the RCMP)?

Louisville police pulled me over once literally minutes after I went to the bank to get $1,000 for my rent. They asked for pay recipients for the initial deposit like I would have that info on me then confiscated my grand as drug money. I of course was able to fight it but the fee for just filling out the form was $500 so I never got charged with a crime and they kept my money because I couldn't afford to argue. First time I was in in Louisville and the last time.

When I was young I told my father I was going into organised crime, he asked private sector or government?
This is absolutely infuriating! No wonder there has been such a backlash against police.
I'll fake civility around cops, but underneath is a bubbling hatred and utter contempt for their repulsive behavior.
the only backlash against police are from the criminals and their family.. and most of them are scumbags, deceptive and liars..
@Yodi Gak Perpetuating a corrupt, structured system that refuses to hold police misconduct accountable is a choice. Race is not. If a good cop says nothing when he sees a bad cop abuse his power, you actually have two bad cops.
Yes, and not one time have I heard democrats talk about police reform. In fact when black republican Tim Scott tried to bring the police reform issue to the table during the Trump adm., democrats refused to work across the isle. Convenient, the woke excuse that Tim Scott is not a black man of value, and repeat violent offenders are the actual victims. The only ones democrats aren't concerned about are the victims of crimes, the small business owners, and their employees victimized, and the average citizen vulnerable to the increase in violent crimes by criminals with illegal guns in democrat run cities. Brazils crime rates have actually gone down when their current president made it easier for the law abiding citizens to gain access to legal gun ownership. Btw, I've never possessed a gun in my life.
We have been hearing these stories all our lives. But now everyone has a portable movie studio in their pocketses. So it comes those stories are true.
Cops acting as thieves should be charged doubley to a normal theif for destroying the public trust in law enforcement and abuse of power
cops theives and cops rapists . there is a whole garden variety of criminal in their ranks. they truly feel like demi gods
ABSOLUTELY AGREE
Obvious but won’t ever happen.
Until they charge regular thieves with appropriate times. I’ll disagree
I tell you what if they all honor the badge and they're here to protect and serve give all of them polygraphs if they don't pass the polygraph the man should get his money back lawsuit goes on. Give them polygraphs they can't beat the polygraph
it's funny how the amounts they actually turn in are almost always the same
Where are the people that blindly defend police?
I am 61 years old and its sad to say in all my experiences I have never heard of a police officer actually 'helping' someone. But I have heard of and experienced many times when a police officer 'hassled' someone. Very sad.
Police are definitely useless in this country.
I had an Ohio state trooper leave my fiance on side of the road with a flat at night. To serve and protect my ass.
Weird . When I was a cop I bought Nikes for kids, car seats for families and donated to Christmas funds. I have also witnessed many officers do the same..

The penalties for crooked law enforcement should be way more severe than a citizens. This behavior has been routine as usual for far to long.
If police ever want to be respected and taken seriously, they've gotta stop this crap! There needs to be a law that requires full transparency at all times by all LEO's, regardless of the department they're in. If you're a cop and you know this is going on and do nothing about it, you're complicit too.
I completely agree but they don't EVER want to be transparent with us! They ALWAYS want us in the dark!
It's a bigger issue than the police department but this goes all the way back to the queen I will put money on that that's why she's so quiet and she never really says anything have you noticed nothing about nothing it is like her people are afraid to say anything about her or else
@@toolguyslayer1 are you talking about escheating? that is a much bigger issue because everything escheats back top the queen meaning this really doesn't matter since it all ends up there even the cops possessions!
The same goes for high crime communities dude. If a community wants to be respected and taken seriously tey have to stop being complicit with the criminals in their own community.
or they just rename the unit something like CID and keep it PUSHING
Vice needs to go mainstream. This is real news and investigatory resilience we do not see anymore. Very well done !
this type of journalism is still around. It's in your local newspaper, not on CNN or Faux News, or those commentators you see online. If people would only understand that journalism isn't commentating, maybe we wouldn't have this ridiculous notion that reporters are 'the enemy of the people.' Real journalists are getting demonized, laid off and left with nowhere to work because private equity has bought up the failing local newspapers in order to suck them dry and make them close down. This is a major disaster for democracy itself.
Yes, it’s great journalism. Now, would you please consider the lies and violations and corruption in the Canadian Music Industry? They are hiding so much violence and crime, which started in the late 50’s and became horrific in the early 60’s-we need some truth about those bands and their side trips to the “cities and Canadian Mountains.” Thank you!
I agree, VICE does some great stories and I was happy to see they were nominated for quite a few awards for their work! Frontline PBS does some great investigative journalism too.
If you are watching it kid, it's mainstream.

NEVER, EVER give permission to search your car, ESPECIALLY if you have money in the car, or drugs. WHY do people give permission for searches of their cars when they have ANYTHING illegal in the car?? Retaliatory charges need to be SEVERELY PUNISHED (police need to be punished).
Same here in the UK. I was busted for a street fight.. I had on a thick gold chain, which was put in my property upon my arrest.. when I was released, I didn’t check my property until I arrived home.. when I checked my property, my chain had disappeared and left in its place was a toilet chain.. I went back to the police station and was told, if I didn’t leave the station I would be beaten.. absolutely disgusting…
What should be shocking is the people that think this is a rare occurrence. This happens every day all across the nation and has personally happened to me
It sure does. Cops lie all the time. All the time.

The feds are not going to do that because they know that their agents might get killed by these racist cops. Plus the feds know that they are doing this. Remember alot of FBI agents use to be police officers.

When I investigate myself I often find that I have done nothing wrong 😂
There isn't a police drugs unit in the world that doesn't steal drugs, money, assets and valuables from those they target. It is utterly ludicrous to assume that the police that gravitate to those units are more honest than others of their type.
I’ve always just assumed that was the case. I’ve never believed that they just “disposed of” assets they seize when cases are closed. i guarantee they just resell all contraband back into the street and keep their job alive.
Yeah, they attract people like Vic Mackey.

This is normal, happens in all police forces!

They took 1500 from me for possession of cocaine but left 15.00 in quarters in my pocket
Why wasn't this reported to the U.S Justice Department?
My friend was in a bad one vehicle car accident. She flipped more times than I can count that night. The cops got there as well as an ambulance and helicopter and she had just gotten paid and was headed to another friend's house for a night of fun and she never made it to our other friends house. She was in and out of consciousness the whole time and when she became alert two days later she asked about her money. She had it in her pocket at the time of the accident so it didn't just fly out of the car along with her. Her jeans were cut off of her and not one person would confess to stealing her money. It was money for her bills and my niece and nephew. My friend is their mother. The fact someone could do that to another person is acting for the devil. It's so disgusting.
If you commit to stealing, it is a bad strategy to confess afterwards. The decision not to confess is forfeit at the time you intend to steal the money.
I'm glad to hear she survived the accident. It's unfortunate that she lost the money; however, in the grand scheme of things...it was too many hands involved to point a finger. ( Paramedic, police and medical staff) They'll definitely not take responsibility since she was unconscious at any time. It's sad..but, reality nowadays. Protect and serve has turned to Get and move!
Yes it could have flew out of her pocket during a accident. What do windows taste like?
Hide cash more safely , Sorry to say but this doesn't just happen in your town its actually common
But shi feel bad for your friend hope shes Better
