[@seangleason260]

My absolute favorite line of this entire show-the cop at the end saying "And our plan worked...". The plan that they went with was (in my opinion) absolutely horrendous and the fact that they think they're "plan" was a success kind of shows a lack of being grounded in reality, and the fact that they let the final people who's homes got invaded get victimized was totally unnecessary as they already had more then enough evidence for a conviction twice over. I'm not trying to take anything away from the police, these people are brave and selfless people literally putting they're lives on the line for they're communities and that can't be overstated, im just saying they could have gone about they're apprehension better

[@nicholasflores679]

I think you need to learn the difference between they’re, there, and their and how to correctly use each one before sharing an opinion on anything. Bitc**

[@KeefeL]

Just wanted to point out: an apostrophe typically is a tool to replace a letter. In English, we often link two words together at the expense of a dropped letter(s). So in the case of "it's" - it literally denotes "it is" Or "you're" is just "you are" "They're" is "they are". The word you are looking for is "their", which points out a previously mentioned subject. (Keefe and Sean are intelligent people. But their opinions are often too biased) "There" points out a previously mentioned location (When you get the basement bathroom, look to the farthest corner of the room from the door. You will find my bong under the sink there)

[@KeefeL]

Same thing as "who's" - which translates to "who is" (Who's down to hit up the liquor store?) The word you're looking for here is "whose" - which refers to a specific person/thing. (Whose panties are these? Who's that girl who slept in my bed last night again? I think it's hers. Oh, she's your girlfriend from that sorority? Heard they're all easy there. Their panties often show up unexpectedly in random locations)

[@meghancass3187]

The FBI came to the conclusion according to the show that the home invasions couldn't have been rogue cops because they were too violent. But there have literally been serial killers who were cops. And the FBI is often hesitant to coordinate with local police because they know they're corrupt. They almost come out and admit it it the end when they're congratulating themselves on a job well done, that coordination can work if you hook up with "the right people." Great episode.

[@christinerobinson890]

Detroit police had a great chief.

[@utubeisajoke]

Curious what serial killers wore cops

[@Zottyworld]

There has been some rogue rapist police , and some former cops who became serial killers . But generally it’s “solo” situations . 2 cops agreeing on a rape is pretty crazy and highly unlikely… but I guess it could happen

[@ImNotNormAll]

There's a difference between a lone serial killer cop and a group of corrupt cops acting together. Their motives and modus operandi vary drastically.

[@d3rtmcg3rt53]

I'm from Flint born at Hurley hospital and raised on the Northside. Being a white boy wasn't easy but I earned my respect. Flint has never been safe since the sixties and early 70s when I was growing up we had a cop named Green who would rob dope dealers and sell it back to the streets, he was connected to slot of other grimey 💩 too. But I lost a lot of friends to the grave and prison. Straight cut throat city. Fly city ain't somewhere you wanna play and better not floss your shit to much. For not being a metropolitan city it's one of the worst cities in this country. Gary Indiana, Memphis n Cleveland also some ruff spots. I went back to Flint to visit back in 2015 and was like damn what did I grow up in. You don't realize it when it's all you know, glad I got out. 25 hrs for police to show up sometimes. Shhh we was never really tripping on them, it was the fbi we had to worry about. Much love n prayers to all my peers and everyone else stuck in Flint, Sagnasty, Grand rapids, & Detroit. It's a shame what's happened in my home state, it will never be the same again.

[@Retroscoop]

Frankly, that arrest team got pretty lucky none of its members was killed or wounded, and that the gang was arrested. The plan with the ambulance wasn't bad, but not good enough to outsmart those hyenas: generally, the folks in front of an ambulance wear white uniforms, not kevlar helmets and body armour. And a second vehicle coming from a side street in front of the van might have helped. Whether Detroit became that more safer might be a little bit too optimistic.

[@DetroitFettyghost]

Lol. Naw. There's still plenty of people out here doing the same thing. They ain't killing anybody most the time and nobody's reporting it most the time. But I remember when this was happening they got a trap a half block down from me, I was 12 at the time.
