Police corruption occurs when law enforcement officers abuse their authority for personal gain, such as through robbery, extortion, and civil rights violations, and this corruption can become systemic within law enforcement agencies, requiring accountability mechanisms like investigations, prosecutions, and public scrutiny to ensure justice is served and public trust is maintained.

I say, "Wake up, Massachusetts."
Inside the state trooper scandal, let's take this walk.
this walk.
We going to take this walk.
Let's take this walk.
I'm not from Massachusetts.
ain't never been to Massachusetts.
Right.
One day, hopefully I will go to Massachusetts, but I ain't from there. I ain't been there. But what the fing up do that mean? Right.
What the uh what the hell does that mean? Right?
Because corruption is corruption. And when when corruption hit hard, you know, it spreads all over the world, especially when you got a guy like the GOAT who did everything he did to nationalize this movement. Oh, that's the truth. The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
And it hit deep, right? Because You would think these officials of the justice system, right?
The one who is supposed to protect and serve and, you know, hold the highest quality because they swear to do that.
You would think that's how it would go.
Right.
It's It's been big cases of corruption.
I'm no fool to that.
Right.
It's been big cases of corruption. But I in in my opinion, right, I think this is the kind of the worst one I seen.
Yeah. The bad cops got to get the fuck out of here. Make it too hard for good cops to do their job. Exactly.
Exactly.
Because I I got some some stories and videos, right?
Because you you see these crooked um mother pieces of puke and bukkaki.
Um Tully and Proctor, right?
We got them.
This Kevin Reed story because of Tur boy was broadcasted all over the world with the center of attention. Right.
So I, you know, as I doing my thinking today, right, I was like, okay, this is like one of the biggest corruption stories of all time, right?
So I was just going through stuff. I say, "So, let me let me see if I can find some other ones, right?" So, so we could let uh people know how big this is because it seemed like when stuff like this happened, not only in Massachusetts, but Massachusetts justice system, stop looking the other way.
For real.
Y'all look like fucking garbage and fools as a whole.
And it don't matter if some are good or good. It's a reflective of all you motherfuckers down there, right? And I mean that.
So I got a stories from Baltimore, right?
Got a story from New York and a story from Los Angeles of of the crookedness, right?
But one thing I see about these three stories, it ends different, right?
It ends different in these three stories because these shady, corrupt, garbage, corrupt cops, they get caught.
It's pressure. I mean, lightning is just striking on it, right? It can't go unseen.
But in none of them cases where it was huge and where they got them, where it was a big deal, it may it may took them a long time, but they didn't look the other way, right?
and they got it done and they put them corrupt pieces of garbage where they were supposed to be.
Right. With this case right here, you got these three scumbags who who try to falsely frame do everything to the highest degree to get a conviction on an innocent woman.
Right?
Then what they doing and what they still doing to the goat and turtle boy, right?
Where's the noise?
Where's the officials?
Right. Because it been too long.
I'm my forest gun voice. I'm not a smart man.
But I know when you can see bullshit, right?
I'm not a smart man. I'm not a lawyer.
But I know when a officer is killed and we see where the lights is shining, what is happening?
That's why I say Massachusetts just a system.
Stop looking the other fucking way.
Right.
And I'm going to show you some examples.
And we're going to start in Baltimore.
Right. We're going to start in Baltimore.
One second.
Detective Daniel Hersel. Daniel Hzel, 47 years old, when arrested in March 2017.
>> Okay, I think that's the wrong one. Hold up. Hold up. I got to order.
Let make sure this order.
>> Detective Daniel Hel. Daniel Hzel, 47 years old when arrested in March 2017, was one of eight members of the Gun Trace Task Force indicted on federal charges of rakateeering, robbery, extortion, and overtime fraud. But unlike six of his co-fendants who took plea deals, Hersel insisted on going to trial alongside Detective Marcus Taylor.
He maintained his innocence. He claimed he was being lumped in with officers who committed far worse crimes. His defense attorney argued that yes, Hersel took money, but it was theft, not robbery, a distinction that made all the difference legally. The jury didn't buy it. During the 3-week trial in early 2018, a parade of witnesses detailed Hurles's crimes.
Detective Maurice Ward testified about a meeting at an apartment where Jenkins and Hzel sipped twisted tees while discussing an upcoming robbery. Ward described how Jenkins showed the crew bags full of ski masks, black clothing, tools, including a sledgehammer, machete, axe, lock, cutters, grappling hook, and rope, equipment he carried in case he ran into a monster, someone with a lot of money, and drugs. An HVAC contractor from Anne Arendel County testified about being stopped by Hersel and two other officers in 2015. They arrested him for drugs he didn't have.
They took $530 from him, including part of his paycheck. Only $216 was submitted as evidence. The charges were eventually dropped, but by then he'd lost his job and his car and had to move. His life was destroyed over drugs that were never there and money that Hersel pocketed.
Shawn Whiting testified that in January 2014, Baltimore police came crashing into his bedroom one morning. He had $22,000 in cash spread throughout the room. When he received a letter after his arrest outlining how much had been seized, it showed just $7,650.
The rest gone, stolen by Herszel and his crew. In one particularly egregious case, Hersel participated in robbing $20,000 from a Carol County home after a man and his wife were detained without having committed any crime. Officers testified that Hersel was among the group that split up the money at a bar afterward. They drank and celebrated stealing from innocent people. Officer James Costipliss, who was assigned to the Gun Trace Task Force in October 2016, provided damning testimony about Hersel's mindset. He said that in January 2017, Sergeant Jenkins and Detective Hersel took him for a ride, told him to leave his cell phone and radio in the car and then asked him what he thought about tailing drug dealers and taking their money and drugs.
Costless told them it was a terrible fing idea and that you can't have a badge on your chest and do that. That's what separates cops from criminals, he said. Jenkins and Hersel agreed and drove back to headquarters, but they didn't stop robbing people. They just didn't recruit costopolis to join them.
The evidence extended beyond witness testimony. There was video, paperwork showing fraudulent overtime claims and testimony about routine civil rights violations, including profiling, warrantless searches, illegal GPS tracking, and door pops, where officers would ambush groups, and chase anyone who ran. Detective Jamal Ray, one of the cooperating witnesses, broke down crying on the stand when describing a car crash during a chase in August 2016. The car they were chasing ran a red light and collided with another vehicle on Lombard Street downtown. "It was a really bad accident," Ray said. "None of us stopped to render aid to see if anyone was hurt.
We were foolish. On a recorded phone call played in court, Hersle could be heard talking and laughing after the crash. People were potentially dying and Hersel was laughing.
>> So remember Hersel, right?
Remember that. So y'all see this. These guys was robbing people.
These corrupt cops was robbing people.
Robbing people.
But guess what?
They did it. But they got caught, right?
Do you think that's bigger than somebody got trying to get framed for murder?
Right. I started a little backwards, but remember herself.
Let's go to the lead candidate. Let's go to the next clip.
>> Sergeant Wayne Jenkins. Wayne Jenkins was a hero. At least that's what Baltimore thought. The sergeant led the elite gun trace task force praised in department newsletters making over $170,000 a year. He was the kind of cop Baltimore needed. But Wayne Jenkins was a thief and armed robber who'd been using his badge to commit crimes for nearly a decade. On March 1st, 2017, federal agents arrested Jenkins and seven other task force members on charges of racketeering, robbery, extortion, and drug dealing. These weren't cops who took bribes. These were cops committing armed robberies while on duty in uniform using their police powers to terrorize and steal from citizens. The Gun Trace Task Force operated like an organized crime syndicate. Their method was brutally simple. Identify suspected drug dealers, track them with illegal GPS devices, conduct traffic stops or search warrants, then rob them. They'd steal $200,000 from someone who had $300,000, and submit only $100,000 as evidence.
They'd seize 10 kilos of drugs, keep two for themselves, and submit eight. It looked legitimate. Arrests, evidence logged, everything seemingly normal, but it was robbery under color of law. One victim testified officers broke into his home, held his family at gunpoint, and stole over $200,000.
Detective Mimoto Gondo led a double life. Simultaneously, a Baltimore police officer and active drug dealer protecting a heroin trafficking ring.
Between 2011 and 2016, Jenkins personally admitted to seven armed robberies totaling $252,000, though the real number was likely much higher. They carried BB guns to plant on suspects if they shot someone unarmed. They falsified reports, lied in court, destroyed evidence, all while being praised as Baltimore's most effective officers. The case unraveled when the DEA caught Gondo on wiretap admitting to drug dealing. Four officers cooperated with prosecutors describing years of systematic theft and violence. They admitted targeting people who wouldn't report being robbed by cops who would believe a drug dealer over a decorated sergeant.
>> Do you hear this? uh rackature, extortion, robbing, doing the most.
This is what we seeing out of this justice system, right?
This is this is what we seeing.
These guys who supposed to do the right thing, who you supposed to trust.
Look at this.
You see how dangerous this is?
Do y'all understand why Turtle Boy aka Aan Kernney aka the goat is so important?
I hope everybody understand how important he is.
On how important he is and what he mean to the injustice and the corruption that's going on.
And how that what he got don't got to be on you, it got to be in you, right?
But this is ra dealing, robin, right? You see eight of them right there.
Look, look, look. It's I just got three of the the the main characters up here, but but we know how many was down there and still down there. Uh uh uh did that to Karen Reed doing it to Turner Boy and still we see the judges.
That's why I say Massachusetts justice system, stop looking the other fucking way.
Right.
You you fucking judges come sit in them rows, right?
And and and y'all have the authority to look at stuff for what it is, right?
They tell the jury to use common sense.
It it do play a part. And and and you can, you know, wooty whoop when you see all this. So, what the fuck are y'all doing down there?
That's why tur war is so important. Let's continue.
>> Jenkins pleaded guilty and received 25 years in federal prison in June 2018.
Detectives Hersel and Taylor each got 18 years. Allers got 15. Ray got 12. Gondo got 10. Ward and Hrix each got 7 years.
But the damage went beyond prison sentences. Over 800 criminal cases were thrown out, convictions overturned. One man served 11 years after Jenkins planted drugs in his car. The city paid him $8 million. Millions more went to other victims who'd been robbed and framed. The scandal exposed Baltimore PD's toxic culture. Internal affairs suspected Jenkins of planting evidence as early as 2014, but he faced minimal discipline. He'd been sued multiple times for misconduct. Warning signs were everywhere. But Jenkins made arrests, seized drugs and guns, produced results.
So supervisors looked the other way.
Today, Jenkins serves his sentence at FCI Milan in Michigan, eligible for release in 2037. His story became HBO's We City. The Gun Trace Task Force scandal remains one of the most shocking police corruption cases in American history. Eight sworn officers who turned their badges into weapons and patrol cars into getaway vehicles, robbing their own community for years while collecting paychecks, awards, and praise.
>> Do you hear that?
Over 800 convictions got overturned, right? Over 800 because of these dirty, crooked cops, right?
We seen how dirty, how crooked these the these fucking Massachusetts state uh troopers and and the Canson and all the other fucking divisions who coincide together.
Even the Boston police, you know, with the fucking um uh uh chief of police, right? We seen that shit.
what he did. Oh, de say I went up there and talked to him. You know that that big u jamunchy looking motherfucker said, "Oh, no. I never told her that."
Oh, wow.
Oh, but I heard they got a new chief up there now. So, what happened to the old one?
Oh, Massachusetts justice system. Y'all just look the other way, huh? You cowards.
You cowards cowards just look the other way, right? Look how much trouble they having getting into proctor the phone and cell phones, right?
after all the disgusting things that this this piece of garbage did.
Wh Why is this so holding on to Jennifer McCabe text?
What is this?
Because I know that area down there has always been corrupted. As I've been doing my research, I just heard stories about that area in Boston and the surrounding areas, right? They've been corrupted. They they really screw people over. It been like that. They got that stain on them, right?
Been having that stain on them.
And with this case being as massive as it is, that stain on them showing the whole public that they saying we don't care. Y'all got a stain on us. We mass.
We the justice system. We don't do what we want to do.
That's dangerous.
Now that y'all see and understand. I know everybody know how important tell boy is, but you have to really sit back and look at this and see what's going on with them down there.
and nothing's happened.
All the evidence pointing at the crooked, corrupted motherfuckers. They pulling up out party cups to get blood, leaf blowers.
Uh Jennifer McCabe called her sister twice when the man was in peril on the lung.
Let's go to the next clip. We're still doing basketball.
>> February 12th, 2018. After two days of deliberation, the jury found Hersel and Taylor guilty on all counts.
Racketeering conspiracy, racketeering, and robbery. Hersel's older brother, Steve, sobbed outside the courthouse, defending his brother to reporters.
Danny Hzel was not a monster. He was put in with some monsters, but he wasn't one of them, Steve insisted. But the evidence suggested otherwise. On June 22nd, 2018, US District Judge Katherine Blake sentenced Hzel to 18 years in federal prison. Prosecutors had emphasized how Hersel devalued the people he dealt with and abused his power to prey on them. They pointed out his rampant overtime fraud, including an entire month he spent refurbishing his home while claiming to be working. Judge Blake noted in denying his early release motion years later that Herszle showed a continued lack of personal accountability. While incarcerated, Hersel penned letters arguing his innocence, claiming he was a victim of fabricated stories and prosecutorial misconduct. He had two infractions in prison, refusing to obey an order in 2020 and disruptive conduct in 2022.
Then came the cancer diagnosis. In October 2023, Hzel was diagnosed with terminal metastic prostate cancer that had spread to his lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. Doctors gave him less than 18 months to live. He asked for compassionate release. It was initially denied. Judge George L. Russell III wrote that while sympathetic to Hel's medical condition, a message certainly needs to be sent that those who engage in racketeering will be held accountable. In March 2024, facing death, something changed in Hersel. In an email to his attorney, he wrote, "I have done some soularching and want to accept full responsibility for my conduct. There are things that I'm very proud of that I have accomplished as a police officer in the Baltimore Police Department, but unfortunately those accomplishments are overshadowed by my conduct in the GTF." "It was the first time Hersel admitted wrongdoing." "I'm truly sorry for the way we acted and treated others," he wrote, calling it what is best for me and so many others that the GTF may have affected. In January 2025, after serving 6 years of his 18-year sentence, Daniel Hersel was granted supervised release due to his terminal illness. He's 55 years old now, dying of cancer, finally admitting what everyone else already knew, but the damage he caused lives on. A report compiled by former US Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Brahmich stated, "Outside the department, Hel's name became a verb to be hers meant to be roughed up by a police officer."
So, as we see, he got convicted just like everybody else got convicted. But as we know, he said he was innocent, innocent, innocent until he had a situation. Then he finally admitted it. All right.
I mean, they say we supposed to have the strongest um system in the world when it comes back to the FBI and all the important people, right?
You mean to tell me excuse as this case was the FBI case is closed. As they said they found no evidence. Oh, when they came to Jesus since he was a sister to Cole.
So they sent local FBI to little Because if they did that, that was a mistake. Cuz you can't trust nothing down there, right? Nothing.
Because everything is pointing these crooked bastards. Everything is pointing at the fucking Mabes and Alberts in that house. Cuz like Alan Jackson says, the science proves it.
Don't worry about the lies they're making up. The science tells you different. And we have to believe the science. Even the experts on the stand said that, right?
Still nothing.
Nothing.
You know, you could hear them say building up a case.
The case is already built.
The evidence presents itself.
What are you guys looking at?
or what did y'all look at when the FBI came to see um you know the overbite Jennifer McCabe. She said, "Oh, can y'all give me a few?" 10 minutes later, she called the the the the the uh mama John O'Keefe. Then she called Carrie to see if they've been there.
Then she called her husband and they called the other bron.
Then she lied to them and say she didn't call nobody cuz they tell her, you know, it could get held against her. Then she call him back and say she misremembered.
She did do this and it's over with a murder case.
In these we talking about drugs, extortion.
They got caught.
So a murder case.
Damn. Do Do that part of town got something over the FBI or something? Or or the people who could really do something over all the officials? It's people in people pockets of them.
All right, we going to the next slip.
Uh, these last two on Baltimore, then we got one in Los Angeles and New York.
>> Detective Marcus Taylor. On June 7th, 2018, Marcus Roosevelt Taylor stood in a federal courtroom in Baltimore, Maryland. He was 30 years old. He had already been found guilty by a jury.
This was supposed to be the day he accepted responsibility and heard his sentence. Instead, Marcus Taylor spoke for nearly 15 minutes, insisting that he was innocent. He spread papers across the defense table, pointing to what he said were inconsistencies in the case against him. He talked about overtime pay he was accused of stealing while prosecutors said he was on vacation in the Dominican Republic. Taylor claimed someone else had signed his time sheets.
He argued that the dollar amounts didn't add up. He told the judge that witnesses were lying. I joined the Baltimore Police Department to help people. Taylor said, "I respect the jury, but I still maintain my innocence and I will fight to prove it." "When he finished speaking, US District Judge Katherine Blake looked at him and sentenced him to 18 years in federal prison." Marcus Taylor was one of eight officers from the Baltimore Police Department's Elite Gun Trace Task Force who were arrested in March 2017. Federal prosecutors charged them with racketeering, robbery, fraud, and civil rights violations. It would become one of the worst police corruption scandals in modern American history. Unlike most of his codefendants, Taylor refused to plead guilty. Six officers quickly admitted their crimes and agreed to cooperate with the government. They accepted responsibility, hoping to reduce their sentences. Taylor did the opposite. He chose to go to trial along with fellow detective Daniel Hersel. He believed he could convince a jury that he was being framed by corrupt officers trying to save themselves. That decision would cost him everything. During a 3-week trial in early 2018, prosecutors laid out a disturbing picture of Marcus Taylor. They argued that he wasn't a good cop who fell under bad influence.
They said he was already stealing years before joining the gun trace task force.
According to prosecutors, Taylor's crimes dated back to at least 2014, long before he worked directly with the unit's leader, Sergeant Wayne Jenkins.
Taylor was already taking part in illegal stops, robberies, and overtime fraud. Assistant US Attorney Derrick Hines described Taylor as someone consumed by greed. The evidence came from multiple sources. Four former task force members testified against him under oath. These were not outsiders or informants. They were his own teammates.
They explained how the group operated.
Officers would stop people on the street, often without legal cause. They targeted individuals they believed were carrying cash or drugs. They conducted illegal searches, broke into homes, and took whatever they wanted. The officers split the money among themselves.
Sometimes they kept everything. Other times, they turned in part of the cash as evidence to make it look legitimate.
The rest went into their pockets. Taylor was accused of participating in at least four robberies. In one case, officers handcuffed a man, took his house keys, and went into his basement. They opened a safe and found around $200,000 in cash. Prosecutors said the officer stole more than half of it, and submitted the rest as evidence. The trial revealed that this behavior wasn't rare or accidental. It was routine. The officers also filed massive amounts of fake overtime. They claimed they were working long hours while actually sleeping, vacationing, or not working at all.
Thousands of dollars were stolen through fraudulent pay slips. Taylor denied all of it. His defense argued that the government's witnesses were criminals and liars. His attorney said it was wrong to trust the testimony of officers who had admitted to years of corruption.
She suggested they were pointing fingers at Taylor to reduce their own prison sentences, but the jury didn't believe that explanation.
>> US attorney. Well, we can't trust nothing down there because I don't see no US attorney standing over there. I don't see no top field because we know who on that other side over there with Cos Grove and all the rest of them, right? But you got this arrogant guy.
Piece of crap in Taylor. Oh, I didn't do it.
I didn't do what the evidence presenting itself. This dude had been doing stuff.
So it was it was like he was like a kid in a candy. So when he found him a group he could participate with it in extortion robbery doing the most.
It ain't a police officer getting killed. Clearly all the evidence is showing these officers and the the the the the people who was in the house, you know, were scrambling and doing things, right? All the witnesses, the experts got demolished and the killer uh still is on the loose.
This this bigger than extortion and robbery, you know, I ain't disregarding what they did, but but I'm talking about a person who lost their life.
I'm talking about the evidence is pointing at them.
I'm talking about how the goat put that pressure and incited that fire, turned it up.
Well, we know everything, but we still don't know everything. But you know what?

But let me show you this one in California now.
Oh, is this California or it's one of them? California or New York?
>> Two. Officer David Mack. November 6th, 1997, Los Angeles. Just after closing time, armed men in ski masks burst into a Bank of America branch near USC. They knew exactly where the money was. They knew the security protocols. They knew when employees would be vulnerable. In under 30 minutes, they walked out with $722,000, one of the largest bank robberies in LA history. But this wasn't professional criminals. This was officer David Mack, a decorated LAPD officer assigned to the Rampart Division's elite crash anti-gang unit. David Mack worked in Crash, Community Resources against Street Hoodlams, one of LAPD's most aggressive planelo units. Crash officers had enormous autonomy to fight gang violence with minimal oversight. They were celebrated for their aggressive tactics and high arrest numbers. But Mac saw an opportunity. The robbery was an inside job. Mac's girlfriend, Erilyn Romero, was an assistant bank manager at the targeted branch. She had vault access and knew when large amounts of cash would be available. The plan was executed with military precision. Armed robbers entered, held employees hostage, and made off with over $700,000.
No violence, no injuries, just a quick, professional job. For a month, the case went unsolved. Then Romero's conscience cracked. She confessed to FBI agents and named her boyfriend, LAPD officer David Mack, as the mastermind. Federal agents arrested Mack and built an airtight case. In 1998, he was convicted of bank robbery and sentenced to 14 years and 3 months in federal prison. But there was a problem. The money was never recovered. All $722,000 vanished.
Despite extensive investigations, authorities never found the cash. Mac refused to reveal where he'd hidden it.
According to fellow inmates, Mack bragged in prison that he'd become a millionaire when released because the money was safely stashed somewhere only he knew. M's arrest opened the door to one of the biggest police corruption scandals in LAPD history, the Rampart scandal. Investigators discovered crash officers, including Mack, had deep connections to the criminal underworld.
Mack and other Rampart officers worked security for Death Row Records, Suge Knight's hip hop label, earning substantial side income and blurring lines between law enforcement and organized crime. Max's fellow crash officer, Rafael Perez, later became infamous for stealing cocaine from LAPD's evidence room, sparking the full Rampart investigation. Perez's arrest revealed widespread corruption, planting evidence, shooting unarmed suspects, covering up unjustified shootings, dealing drugs, and committing robbery.
The Rampart scandal implicated over 70 officers, and led to more than 100 criminal convictions being overturned.
It devastated LAPD's reputation and led to massive departmental reforms. But Max bank robbery stands out as the most brazen crime. This wasn't stealing drugs during a bust or shaking down dealers.
This was planning and executing an armed robbery of a bank, one of the most serious federal crimes possible. Mack was released from federal prison on May 14th, 2010. After serving 12 years, he walked out a free man. And if rumors are true, he walked out knowing exactly where $722,000 in stolen money was hidden, waiting for him. To this day, the Bank of America money has never been recovered. Federal authorities believe Max successfully laundered and concealed the funds. He may have achieved his goal of becoming a millionaire through crime.
David Mack's case reveals a disturbing truth. Sometimes those enforcing the law break it in the most egregious ways.
Mack used his position, training, and access to commit a federal crime that would earn any civilian decades in prison. And he almost got away with it.
The fact that he refuses to return the stolen money even after serving his sentence shows the depth of his corruption. He took an oath to protect and serve. Instead, he protected himself and served his own greed. Officer David Mack turned his badge into a tool for armed robbery. And somewhere out there, $722,000 in stolen bank money remains hidden. A reminder that sometimes the biggest criminals are the ones wearing uniforms.
Damn, Mac committing robberies.
They caught you though. But you hit that 722,000 somewhere though.
But they caught you. Here's the thing right here.
LA, they put the pressure on him, right?
Yeah. He made he that 722,000, but he got convicted, right? And look, is this bigger than what they did to try to frame uh somebody for committing murder?
Y'all see why Turtle Boy is so important.
Yeah, we need to go find him for real.
Y'all see why Turtle Boy so important? I know we know how important he is, but he's super fucking important, right?
super important for this movement cuz he global, right?
He ain't just Massachusetts. He global.
See, he on that top level to where he leveled up. He could he could attack a case all over.
But this why he's so important because of what's going on down there in that crooked ass state, right?
From that crooked ass justice system, right?
And that shit can't be overlooked.
They tried to silence him.
They tried to do everything they could against him, right?
To get him to go away, put him in jail.
They lit, you know, motherfuckers just harass him, text him, said, "Oh, I see you. You out.
He didn't run from it.
He ran to it.
Yeah, exactly.
He's so important.
He got that shining light on him right now.
Right?
Cuz what that's doing, what he doing is massive.
Right?
The the attention is on it now.
And he ain't stopping.
You have to understand that he's not stopping.
He the clean up man.
He going to be cleaning that shit up.
No quit. He got the heart of a line.
That's the difference.
Right. Let's check out this last one in New York. Watch this.
>> Officer Jose Tiada. Officer Joseé Tahada didn't just cross the line between cop and robber. He ran an entire criminal enterprise while collecting an NYPD paycheck. For years, this 17-year veteran of the New York Police Department, assigned to the 28th precinct in Harlem, led a violent robbery crew responsible for over 100 armed robberies that netted more than 250 kg of cocaine and $1 million in cash. But what makes his story even more disturbing is that he did many of these robberies while on duty in uniform, using his police authority as a weapon.
The crew operated like a welloiled machine. Beginning in 2001, they posed as law enforcement conducting legitimate arrests. They used fake search warrants and arrest warrants. They wore NYPD raid jackets that Tahada supplied. They carried police equipment, handcuffs, badges, Miranda warning cards, police radios. Everything looked official because much of it was real. Tahada made sure of that. Between 2006 and 2007, Tihada personally participated in multiple armed robberies. In one incident on Broadway near 125th Street in Manhattan, Tahada and two other officers, fellow NYPD officer Jorge Arbah Diaz and NYPD auxiliary officer Ivan To pulled over an SUV. They handcuffed the driver and stole 5 kg of cocaine hidden inside. In another robbery on Seaman Avenue in upper Manhattan, Taja and Teneo robbed a drug supplier at gunpoint, stealing 3 kg of cocaine. But the most horrific incident happened in the Bronx. Taja, while on duty and in full uniform, used his status as a police officer to demand access to a private residence. The crew believed the home was a drug stash house. They were wrong. Inside was an innocent family of three, a husband, wife, and their teenage daughter. They had no involvement in drug dealing whatsoever. Tahada and his crew terrorized this innocent family. They searched the home for drugs that didn't exist. Tatada brandished his NYPD issued firearm at them, trying to intimidate them into confessing to crimes they hadn't committed. He attempted to handcuff the male victim. The family was held at gunpoint in their own home by men wearing police uniforms. When the crew finally left empty-handed, the terrified family called 911. They had just been victimized by the very people supposed to protect them. The scope of the operation was staggering. Over 100 armed robberies, more than 250 kg of cocaine stolen, over $1 million in cash.
And it wasn't just Tatada. The crew included at least 22 other people, including two other NYPD officers and multiple auxiliary officers. By the time the investigation concluded, 52 defendants had been convicted. Tija's case was part of a massive federal prosecution in the Eastern District of New York, targeting violent drug robbery crews who impersonated police officers.
The twist, some of them didn't need to impersonate cops. They were cops. Tahada also used his access to confidential law enforcement databases to search for outstanding warrants, not to arrest people, but to help his criminal confederates evade arrest. He checked whether there were warrants for his own arrest. He shared this information with other crew members so they could stay one step ahead of law enforcement. When federal agents finally arrested Tahada in April 2013, he was returning from the Dominican Republic at Kennedy Airport.
The 17-year veteran with two children pleaded not guilty initially with his attorney arguing he'd been on modified duty for years during the investigation.
If there was a danger, what's been going on the last 4 years? His lawyer asked.
But the evidence was overwhelming. In November 2013, Tahada was convicted of two counts of obstruction of justice. In June 2014, following a second trial, he was convicted of robbery conspiracy and narcotics distribution conspiracy. US Attorney Loretta Lynch didn't mince words. Tahada dishonored his badge and his uniform when he crossed the line from cop to robber. In 2015, Tajjata was sentenced to 18 years in federal prison, though he faced a maximum of life. Judge John Gleason handed down the sentence as Taja's wife cried in the courtroom. The societal impact was devastating. How many innocent people were terrorized by men in police uniforms? How many actual criminals walked free because the officers who arrested them were just robbing them? How much cocaine flooded New York streets because corrupt cops stole it and resold it instead of taking it off the streets? And here's the most damaging part. Tjata's conviction came after years of him operating openly. He remained on the force during the investigation. He continued testifying in court cases. His word was used to convict people while he was simultaneously running a criminal enterprise. Every case he touched was tainted. Every arrest he made was questionable. The Taja case exposed a rot within the NYPD that went beyond one bad cop. It showed how easy it was for officers to weaponize their authority.
How uniforms and badges could be tools for crime instead of justice. And how the very people citizens called when they needed help could be the ones committing the crimes. Today, Joseé Tahada sits in federal prison serving his 18-year sentence. But the damage he caused to victims, to the justice system, to public trust in law enforcement will last far longer.
Will last far longer.
Judges in them states, they got them.
What about the judges in Massachusetts?
What about the police in in Massachusetts?
I mean, damn, they got that shit everywhere. But see, my thing was bringing this to attention to show everybody. Look, they got them.
