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?

“Mostly in the poor Black neighborhoods”. Baltimore is ALL poor Black neighborhoods. You want it to be a racist issue so bad you tell people who don’t know any better that the “poor Black neighborhoods” were targeted. This was an issue of greed and corruption, not racism.

[@georgecavanaugh8757]

You believe that crap about renting a BMW for his son’s birthday, and having month’s rent on him because he was going to see his landlord? Come on, get real. He’s a dope dealer, and that money was his G knot. Where’s Kenny today? I bet he’s caught some drug charges or worse since then.

[@kevinforeman4485]

If there's one thing white people cannot stand it's black people with money. Economic suppression has always been a pillar of the white supremacy myth..A black guy with an expensive car is automatically labeled a drug dealer. No and I mean No other race of people go thru this. Chinese guy in a BMW No problem. Australian, East Indian, Japanese none of them are automatically assumed to be drug dealers..Who do you think runs all those drugs & guns up & down the highway?? A black guy??? Hell no. That's an automatic pullover.

STOP QUOTAS FOR COPS!!!! We need to stop all politicians, government officials and State officials that want Cops to have quotas I believe it is what is leading to the violence and disputes against the police and the public

[@bellezanegra0206]

Yes. I watched we own this city and they kept saying “arrests are down despite crime being up.” I’m like how are you measuring crime? You just want more arrests.

[@jaypady9463]

@@bellezanegra0206 crimes being reported but I think it's interesting that California has decide that it cheaper to drop smaller crimes or not even investigate them so they don't otherwise jail probation and things like that cost tax payers thousands and nobody benefits from it

[@anothercomment3451]

We need to cage the corrupt.

[@jaypady9463]

@@anothercomment3451 idk I think petty crimes should get a slap on the hand and cops should spend more time investigating and actually doing police work to catch corporations, politicians and rich people. Seems they like harassing the lower income people because they can't afford attorneys and just get shuffled right through the court system and it's an easy conviction for them. Instead of going after big crimes or major corruption that's affecting our entire country. Like major drug dealers, sex trafficking, major pollution, laundering of money, fraud, and things of that nature.

“Dealers have flooded the streets with poison”, but let’s be fair with them. Sure, we can win the battle against the vilest people while being fair. Vietnam didn’t teach you a thing. You either play with no rules against the bad guys, or you let them be. You CANNOT beat them playing by the rules while they have no rules. It’s stupid to think otherwise.

[@annalisavajda252]

So just vilify innocent people as "bad guys" to feel heroic? Have you seen Platoon? "Hell is the impossibility of reason".

[@georgecavanaugh8757]

@@annalisavajda252 Let me make sure I’ve got this straight. You’re saying dope dealers are innocent people? About the Platoon quote, I think you missed the point. He continued to say that “We’re fighting ourselves when we should be fighting the enemy.” It refers to the fact that our government was trying to appease bleeding heart American citizens while sacrificing our boys like they were literal pawns. This further illustrates my point. We could have destroyed the enemy in Vietnam in no time, but our own citizens cried for those uncivilized barbarians in the north. It’s the same ol’ same. People want to feel sorry for evil people, and have civilized society. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

If I had the same thing happen 2 me my fam an my homies would be like bro your a crash dummy why would you do all that Instead of paying rent 1st going home with the car and then enjoying it tomorrow with a fresh day

So I go to court they take my license for a year? I wasn’t even the driver I was the passenger and we finally are in front of judge and says I was caught with a small quantity wtf ounce is a big bag then I get my last day in court and the evidence is gone . I still get screwed this stuff happens everywhere

Know what the dealers do in Baltimore City now. They see a cop they don't even blink a eye or miss a beat. This is what a known dealer and criminal Freddie Grey got the city the way it is. You know nothing Jessica just you think you do.

[@LilD1988]

Bro wasn’t a dealer why speak on something u don’t know and if he did sell some weed so what. He wasn’t hurting anyone like the police hurt him and took his life. U must be nvm

[@KyleShade]

Because when the cops were beating dealers up and arresting them the city was wonderful….you can’t police or lockup drugs away, and you definitely can’t stop drug dealing when there are no jobs. The public is demanding integrity from police, and you are angry about it? The police’s power and authority is bestowed on them by the public, when the police start behaving like criminals they have to be put in check. We give these cops the power to make life and death decisions, if someone doesn’t have the character or ethics to handle that responsibility their authority isn’t based on anything.
