A Look at America's Most Corrupt Police

If there's a worst-case scenario for police corruption, it would look a lot like the tale told in I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad. 

 The book, by the reporters Baynard Woods and Brandon Soderberg, pieces together the story of the 2017 Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) scandal, in which a federal investigation has so far led to the conviction of a dozen Baltimore Police Department (BPD) officers on charges of robbery, extortion, racketeering, filing false reports, and lying to federal grand juries.

  2. Our local drug task force also was pretty corrupted a short while back. Hidalgo County, Rio Grande Valley Texas.

  3. The FBI was apparently taking notes.

    1. The FBI provided the text books and handouts for these guys to model their system on.

    2. The FBI was probably skimming their "Big Guy" 10% off the top, saying it was a consulting fee.

    3. C'mon man, Mr. Comey was worth a lot more than a lousy 10%.

  5. Dog Catcher -- corrupt.
    LawEnforcementOfficials -- corrupt.
    Congress-critters -- corrupt.
    Presidents promising to protect 2A -- corrupt.

    Every government agent at any level -- corrupt.

    I'm starting to begin to think government agents are the problem...
