Corrupt NYPD Cop interview - Mike Dowd

[@msheehandub]

Just 60 years ago someone could work as a firefighter and support a family of 5 and have a car, house with a yard, and a pension. How far we have fallen.

He doesn’t seem like a terrible guy - but yeah, I agree.

I didn't get that vibe. I got that he tells a good story & likes an audience/attention. But yes the drugs etc in his Police career isn't going to help a calm, measured, de-escalating approach , which is what their training stresses.

[@dat2ra]

Most chilling is knowing that, all across the country at all levels, there are cops just like him who haven't fessed up to their deeds. He didn't change by his own volition: he got caught.

[@tntkop]

And all across the country, there are people in your profession who haven’t fessed up to their deeds. They don’t change by their own volition. They get caught. And people like you remain silent, and your silence makes you complicit. Hypocrite much?

[@tntkop]

@@foxxx4321 You expect police to be the best of us, yet most police departments are underpaid, underequipped, under appreciated and understaffed. Many police officers live in poverty level, while many others cannot afford to live in the cities they protect. Compare U.S. police to the U.S. military. Did you know that since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, more police officers have been killed on the streets of America than military personnel from ALL COMBINED BRANCHES have been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan. * Per US Department of Defense, FBI Uniform Crime Reports and Officer Down Summaries, and National Law Enforcement Memorial. Also, did you know the medical profession kills over 250,000 patients in America per year. And this statistic, per studies by JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, has been steady for decades. That’s OVER 1/4 MILLION PEOPLE....PER YEAR. OVER 2.5 MILLION people killed in the past 10 years. OVER 5 MILLION people killed in the past 20 years. And these numbers DO NOT include the millions and millions of babies killed by abortions. Regardless, those are Holocaust level numbers that would make ADOLF HITLER and the NAZI PARTY proud. Funny how no one demands doctors or nurses wear body cameras. The fact that none of you are upset over this proves you have selective outrage.

He admitted he felt wrong about his actions, he recognizes the reality of the mentality he had back then but acknowledges how it was messed up looking back. He served his time, best thing he can do is crack a few jokes lol have any of yall ever heard a New Yorker tell a story? They all sound like this they have a dope sense of humor

Many of these interviews are such a great example of why older generations should be valued more. Many of these stories start with being young, insecure, and unwise people who can't see the big picture of life and themselves. They make a lot of mistakes, as most of us do when we're younger (some worse than others). Yet, youth is valued so much in our society and the lack of self-awareness, morality, wisdom, and depth that comes with it. Instead, ego, impulsivity, selfishness, and superficiality are valued. It's so backward. These people have learned, and we have a lot to learn from them.

Lmao… I’m literally shocked how many people are unfamiliar with these guys. I guess it’s an NY specific personality? We lived on the Upper East Side. My parents always had friends over and Dad had a couple close friends who were just like this guy. My dad always called them the biggest bull-shitters he’d ever met even in front of them, but loved them like brothers. I can’t remember the phrase something about “looking you in the eye while…” with the other hand or behind your back? Crud don’t remember. He used to say guys like them were normally a dime a dozen but X or Y were worth a shiny silver dollar (their tales were mostly true and were honestly successful). They’d laugh and act all offended… but as I got older they’d warn me to never fall for a guy like themselves. I was a kid, but knew to believe their warnings. Heck can’t even tell you how many people had an uncle they rolled their eyes about but we kids flocked around to hear his stories. These guys learned this behavior from infancy and they are lovable. They’re crazy fun and entertaining to be around. Side note:Being charming is easy when you’re street smart and have authority. It’s not authentic, it’s charm, better yet it’s manipulative and a conn game. Not that they all were corrupt… but the ones that were, were frequently described by those who didn’t know about their activities as “great guys”.

I was being groomed to support organized crime, but it broke my heart to know what organized crime did for real. I separated myself and refused to associate with anyone in organized crime. I would not talk to the cops (because the cops were crooked). I knew what would happen to me. It is so sad to see how law enforcement protects the dirty cops so much. I know, because I saw how the money was laundered for those dirt cops ...including many Police Chiefs and so much of the Illinois State Police.

THAT MAN is the man we saw here on this video today.You're SO LIKEABLE, witty, intelligent, somewhat "sly" (as you've admitted), and you're a handsome dude, as well. Who wouldn't just love you as you are?? Stick to the path that you've chosen to make your life one you can be proud of, Mike. I'm ALREADY proud of you! #NOTHUGGIN' ;)

Watch the documentary The Seven Five if you haven’t. It’s really good

[@hendawg3048]

DOWD…

[@Minalola11356]

For someone who was so corrupt, your being so honest in this interview, thank you for that.

[@RobiRew]

Incredible story- very articulate and a very good speaker. Could not put my phone down. Wish you well in future endeavors. Sometimes we don’t know why we are on the path we take but it’s learning to be better later on.

[@marctodisco]

Truer words have never been written!! Well said Fella. And I’m just assuming you’re a dude, if not …,… my fault, wasn’t trying to offend anyone. Just thoroughly enjoyed the Comments written

[@savday7153]

Honestly such an amazing story teller. Couldn’t put my phone down. Kept me engaged. Basically told his life story and what shaped him into the person he is today.

[@grapemultimedia6230]

Same, enjoyed the animation of this guy. Quite a character.

[@helenmcdonnell2585]

Yeah and I felt really sad for him.. glad he's learned from his mistakes and can make a positive contribution.

[@mingxuanfan]

He’s so good at twisting the stories and justifying what he did.

[@VioletJoy]

I didn't hear him try to justify what he did. I heard him take accountability.

[@mingxuanfan]

@@VioletJoy then you are too gullible.

[@thegungooch639]

​@MAGAdestroyer you sound like a spoiled rich kid...go rot somewhere...troll

[@zigzigzig]

cops have to do this literally all the time

[@ChristLikeBaby]

He laughs still as in some good old days no remorse.

[@hoopoe9629]

My dad worked for NYPD for many years and used to say “there are some bad cops, there are some bad cops!” but wouldn’t give any details. Interesting to hear the other side - thank you for sharing your story. I hope you’re able to help others avoid going down the same path.

[@joshschneider9766]

A "good cop" who does nothing isn't a good cop. The word for what he did is appeaser. Boot licker if you ask me.

[@elemeno9463]

your dad was a bad cop who covered for other bad cops. there's no such thing as a good cop who stays silent about bad cops

[@evanabbott2737]

Like that movie, “Bad Lieutenant” with Harvey Kietel?😬

[@michaeldowd5024]

I continue to share my experiences and tell whom ever will listen ✌️

[@claireh.7605]

just doing unethical things they should not do, lying and manipulating, threatening and abusing people, assaulting people, planting drugs, framing people, robbing people, extorting them for sex and money, extorting females for sex, isolating and trapping females or intimidating them into not reporting the cops who extorted or r*ped them, beating and r*ping inmates for fun, letting people bad people victimize others in jail on purpose, not processing reported cops but exonerating them falsely, etc. etc. - pretty the whole spectrum of crimes hidden inside police work.

[@ken-my5io]

Retired police officer myself! These guys are a very small percentage that are everywhere. Cops, firemen, teachers, coaches, doctors, clergy, actors, news anchors, military members, and they can be found in your profession too!

[@andyxstitch]

Yeah except its most dangerous when they're a cop because they basically run society

[@wes11bravo]

10% of every profession are shitbags.

[@sherrywilliams409]

He tells his story in such a way that it’s so easy to follow and understand. I feel like I was there! He should write books! I very much enjoyed hearing his story. I wish him well in life.

[@doctorjellybelly]

made me think about a therapy exercise where you create a narrative for your life 🤔

[@SmittyHD-zq7gk]

He has multiple other interviews as well

[@PlutoTheGod]

Just because he can communicate eloquently doesn’t make him a good person for taking a position of protection and using it to take complete advantage and abuse others.

[@jenn8341]

This guy is really good at telling his story. I listened while I was working, alllll the way to the end. Great job Mark.

[@jimhontz7313]

This video was fascinating. His ability to present his experiences was marvelous. Thanks for this presentation. Love your work!

[@bkid59]

I really appreciate all your guests and their stories Thanks for giving me .......

[@mooriannkeo7900]

The self awareness and seemingly genuine honesty from his perspective made this a fantastic listen. Great work~

[@richjones7313]

he seems like a massive coke head disgraced ex policeman that would sell his own mother out tbh

[@chrispamplin897]

Totally agreed

[@superwario2741]

Imagine thinking a corrupt cop is "genuinely honest".

[@ericpeck3069]

Guy strikes me as a 100% BS artist/hustler.

[@moxiee216]

Sorry, I disagree….everything he says is through the lens, of why he did what he did-to please others-he never owns the fact that his behaviour largely benefited himself alone.
