The most corrupt cop in NYPD history.

[@danfield6030]

Hes such a likable charismatic guy. A #1 hustler and manipulator as well. Very intelligent

[@adrianadrian7101]

I really enjoyed it. This guy is something else. I was born in New York City, in the 60s. My uncles partners, and friends owned restaurant bars. I remember 2 cops. Irish ,and an Italian. The bar owner would ask me to carry them to the police car. I was a 14 yrs old, skinny kid, carry this guy's drunk. They used to put their police hats, on me, so I could carry them to their car. Their hats would danced on my head. This were big guys.

[@friotaiocht101]

Yeah he really is something else... he's a POS... is what he is...

[@9mmARman]

I really wish people interviewing him would ask about things that happened that hasn't already been discussed in the Seven Five or any of the 83 interviews he's done since then. I'm sure he has many more stories so please ask him!!

[@colonelkurtz2269]

The 75th is an amazing documentary.

[@newbooks9858]

I was living in New York while I earned a Ph.D. in psychology. I took various jobs working my was through grad school. I had a couple phone sales jobs and found out on the job I was working for mobsters because Mafia families owned legit businesses. I also worked as an insurance claims rep. One time I was sent out to settle a claim at a trucking company involving some burned-out trucks. I had sight drafts which were checks to close claims hopefully before they got a lawyer. At the trucking company I sense mobsters owned the company. One macho Italian guy took me aside and handed me a bunch of cash while asking for a nice settlement. I gave him the cash back, wrote him a check for thousands, and left. I think I should have taken the bribe. New York is such a jungle of corruption.

[@johnnyc5587]

That was a smart move.

[@johnnyc5587]

He’s not the most corrupt cop in NYPD history. Eppolitto and Caracapa were much worse.

[@cinemillstv]

Johnny - its like splitting hairs.....But yeah those guys were a little worse because they were killers.....

Maybe. But it’s true. Dowd was a clownish junkie that gave away his honor for small amounts of money and drugs. Eppolito and Caracapa were stone cold killers and had no souls. But the dude Hydell that they kidnapped for Anthony Casso was a rapist so no big loss there.

[@thomasjung6660]

Dowd may have been corrupt but he was a stand up guy. He wouldn't reveal the names of any other corrupt cops, unlike his partner.

[@JuniorB.KC41]

This title should say “NYC most corrupt cop ever”…… To get caught!!

[@Voltzy70]

I was thinking the same thing when I read the video title, far worse that never got caught because they knew not to be flashy and arrogant.

[@socaljimmyd]

Mike Dowd is a stud. He did his time like a man. I would love to meet him and ask him some questions that weren’t covered in the 75 and these interviewer’s wouldn’t ask.

[@Otis-vx2kv]

He stole money from a single mother in Brooklyn who had nothing to do with the narcotics trade. He's a punk

[@Colin-c7r]

i was police in Newark NJ at age 19 in 1976 . I worked there a little over 3 years and was ripping dealers the last year and a half , could disappear when you felt like it most times , badge Americard kept me out of trouble in New Jersey and New York city , my whole family was police , it was impossable to get in trouble . Dealing qualudes getting 1000 and selling in batches of twenty , a few pounds of weed and off quarter, half and full pounds , quarter oz of coke and selling 1/2, 1/4 and occasional ounce thinking this shit would never end . At 22 i knew i would not survive a career as a cop I would be dead or in jail . Even as a 19 year old knucklehead i knew itching to play with my gun i knew using it eveñ when necessary could jam me up. I was sworn in as a firefighter at 22 in 1980 same year Muke started the NYPD. Switching to Fire Dept kept me from ending up in similar situatiins as Mike . To be honest it was even tough doing the next 22 years and escaping with a pension was a miracle . 5 rehabs and multiple detoxes and i somehow left as a captain. By the wat watching the job change and New guys guys coming on after 911 thinking they are hero's. These guys thought nothing of squealing on guys to ass kiss or even get a station change. There was a line outside the Cheifs door to squeal. What saved me was knowing mt job , not being a prick boss and knowing where the skeletons were buried , and of course keeping my mouth shut😊 36:49

[@cinemillstv]

What a crazy story you had. Thank God you got out the Game. Dowd was so deep in it his conscious was killing him - he cried out for help. We know things in Los Angeles County have changed for officers and deputies - they can now get alcohol counseling without fear of losing their job. Which makes so much sense. Lots of politics in departments still remain the same State to State. We have been told some crazy stories not involving corruption but the ass kissing and affirmative action stuff that are mind blowing.

[@Colin-c7r]

@@cinemillstv yes , its not the same job , all the new guys are not squealing , but enough that it sucks for the decent kids coming on , its a shame all i can say is thanks for the ride and way ahead of the game been retired from F.D. 20 years in Dec living in S.E. Asia

In the middle of the 70s, and 80s, If you didn't had a ball, but you wanted to play, and you knew how to steal bases, you were invited anywhere you went. Money, women, deals, fashion etc. Everybody was hustling some how. From the cops, to the teachers, lawyers, doctors, pilots, social workers, Everybody. Even if you wasn't in the game, someone you knew ,brought you a gift.
