In Baltimore, Maryland, an elite group of plainclothes officers called the Gun Trace Task Force gets hundreds of illegal guns off the streets every year. Secretly, however, these detectives are also robbing people, selling drugs, planting evidence and framing innocent people. When some of the officers go too far, it triggers an FBI investigation that reveals the Gun Trace Task Force as one of the most corrupt police squads in American policing history.
Jessica Lussenhop tells the story of the rise and fall of this once-powerful unit of officers, and its leader Sergeant Wayne Jenkins. And she asks: why do good cops go bad?
Bad Cops is a podcast from the BBC World Service

I'm very confident they just touched the tip of the iceberg very interesting story

[@davy1458]

Man this good stuff....mom glued to this investigation!!!

[@JaydedCPA]

check out the HBO series "we own the city". About this directly

[@CryptoWolf416]

very addictive don't want to stop listening to these!!

[@MRAJE1129]

Great audio content but the visual graphics are giving me a headache. Spend a few dollars on video footage of the city, interviews and the person narrating.

[@EliteScentsOnly]

Yeah I couldn’t do it. Just watch “we own this city”

[@TheShawnmaxx]

Or watch HBO'S "We own this City" this Podcast follows the book of the same title. Pretty much accurate.

[@EliteScentsOnly]

@@TheShawnmaxx great show. Having to wait for Monday’s is killing me

[@EliteScentsOnly]

@Marisha Sylvester so far the best episode was 4. Can’t wait to see what happens tonight. 👮‍♀️

[@JMOAboutEverything]

Yes. Or have no visual and put it in the description.

[@maxbrazil3712]

The largest collection of career criminals and pure evil filth can be found in your local police department.

[@thatguy22441]

By definition, they are a gang. They just whitewash it with official titles. Their conduct is often even more morally reprehensible than that of "criminals."

[@noobovsky420]

Yeah lol generalize more. We can say the same thing about certain things too but they call that racism and ism whatever

[@megantownes7660]

This series was awesome….. Great job

[@jimgallo6909]

very well done series, easy to listen to and easy to follow

[@thatguy22441]

This is actually the first podcast I've ever listened to in its entirety. It is easy to follow.

[@amanwithadream6894]

I had an interest in watching the content in its entirety, but the BBC's attempt at hypnotizing the viewer prevented me from doing so.

[@TSquared2001]

This is good reporting/documents

[@teezwilliams22]

Bro I’m from Baltimore county and we been known bout these dudes for years but they ain’t got shit on the east Baltimore county police! My city homies won’t even cross the county line cuz of how bad the county boys are! I gotta go out in town to see them but it’s known that city boys won’t really een fw u unless u wyllin! But they would plant shit on u if they go lt u and ain’t find shit! I got off once cuz I was a known coke dealer and they planted heroine on me lol I don’t do shit no more but that’s just what happens

[@abolishthe19thamendment]

Anyone know where the original version is, or is this it? Kinda feel there's video

[@Blue_ocean66]

Are there still criminal cops on the Baltimore City Police Department?

[@whathappy6052]

Is the sky blue?

[@thepessimisticoptimist9375]

Watch "we own this city" on HBO this will all make sense.

[@wesleysimon955]

It's crazy how the fbi could have the time to cut off a car alarm then pull another one that looks similar in its place all without no neighbors or anyone noticing there's strangers moving and replacing a replica looking car. Just don't sound right but hey could be.

[@pkiely29]

Caught that too

[@Blue_ocean66]

Do human beings always do what is in there own best interest? 🤔

[@21twofitteen_black]

I’m from the city if u know it was crazy round them time with the boys shit happen to me

[@stephanierandall778]

This is a really weird episode from The Wire

[@TSquared2001]

Not totally. But not totally far off.

[@Beardhomestead]

The creators of The Wire are making a new show based on this case. We Own This City. It starts on Monday.

[@MrDavecr7]

That's what I was thinking and also the detective who started it all off is called Mcdougal reminds of Mcnulty.

[@187mrsmith]

We need visuals hD u uploaded visuals with this u might have got a million views cus your audio was unreal but youtube is about visyalz hun

[@soutini]

This is a podcast, produced by BBC - one of the biggest news channels on earth. They put it on youtube so more people could find it and listen to it. But she is a really good journalist, you don’t need to ”hun” her. She’s obivously more succesful than you.

[@demondbyrd30]

💯💯💯💯

[@theempressajeamatory4732]

So u telling me the police can steal a mf car to plant a bug THATS ILLEGAL

[@ceebrizco4336]

It gets much worse than that...

[@dtd5493]

They gave it back..

[@donnyfoster1859]

Jump out boys they around everywhere

[@andrewcosten]

Shame its the bbc ......doing this .

[@TSquared2001]

How so?

[@slikdarelic]

@@TSquared2001 in other words, an american network should be doin this.

[@TSquared2001]

@@slikdarelic this is true. But only the independent media will do it, not the corporate media.
