“Just came here from Puerto Rico. You got a stack of hundreds in your bag, and I'm looking, I'm saying, you know, you got like $2,000 worth of tickets, and I'm supposed to take your car from you. I said, but, you know, I like lobster. Leave me enough money for a lobster lunch. This whole thing can go away. So the kid was quick on his feet. He left a couple hundred bucks under my briefcase on the back seat. He got out and I said, I don't want to ever see you again, unless you got, unless you got some more lobster lunch money later. Of course, I didn't say that. And of course, I left that scene with the money and I was very uncomfortable because it was the first time I actually solicited something like that. But it was sort of a, it's almost like I won something.”

“23, 24? Yeah. And that was basically, we called it a Puerto Rican mystery back then. I know that I'm famous for saying that. And people are like, listen, that's what they called it, all right? Because the guy who's from Puerto Rico and he had no paperwork, no license, or anything like that. And he just bought the car.”

“So what does that lead to? That leads to the streets becoming unwielding. Like there's no control. So what happens is a guy like me who's entrepreneurial spirit shows up and says there's a way to control this. I tax these people. or arrest them, one of the two, and I can't arrest them, so I tax them.”

“Yeah. How's this? You really didn't make a dent on it and now there's two men off patrol. And then your next assignment was the desk. You're making arrests causing a problem. City's paying for it, there's less police available, and the robberies, the murders and the rapes in those communities were extremely high. They'd rather have them sell crack than people get robbed and raped and murdered. Does that make sense? Of course it does.”

“Process the arrest and they all get processed through the correction system and they all get processed through the court system. I mean, you're talking $150,000 arrests a year in Brooklyn alone. That's a lot of numbers if you just keep cranking at it and everybody's got 18 hours overtime per arrest.”

“Well, I mean, total 10 years, but yeah. So not all of that was patrol, but yeah. So it doesn't matter. I can make 43 rests in a month, okay, if I really wanted to.”

“Yeah, and it's really the cover their ass. It's a very, very difficult position. A fireman goes to work. Do you know what they do? They save lives. They put out fires. They eat a good meal. They have a great gym. No one's in there going. They have rules to decorum, but no one's going, we're looking to take you for this, we're looking to stripe you for that. It's such a grading position to be in.”

“The department and the civilians I didn't like the way he handled me. They make a complaint. Your boss goes I got the people complain endowed I'm gonna have to give you a shed assignment or I'm gonna have to change your assignment. I mean the whole time someone's against you”

“But think about that. A mechanic goes to work and they say, can you get six cars done today? I'll try. You got six. It is a bonus for you at the end of the day. A cop goes to work and they looking to screw him the whole time.”

“Yeah You know, I mean, it's really not built. That position in this society is not built for somebody to come in and be the knight in shining armor and say, listen, Officer Dowd, that was not appropriate. I'm going to have to report you right now. Before he goes to report me, I'm going to be the bludgeon of the death because now he's taking my livelihood away. He's taking the food off the table of my family. You don't look at it as like you're getting a guy in trouble. You look at it as you're taking a career, a livelihood, incarceration. I mean, these are the things that can happen. Like I said, the minute you put that badge on, I didn't get to this, is the minute that the job is looking to take something from you.”

“Yes, right, so let's just be clear. The first person that's going to snitch on you is going to be a cop, okay? However, More chances than not they try not to. And that's just the facts. Because what cop wants to go out on patrol Knowing that if something goes down and it goes a little sideways from where it's supposed to go, let's say you and I were working together and you just told on me last week and now someone's pumbling you to death in the street. I have a chance to help you. Or I could call for backup and wait, you know? So you don't want that relationship with me, right? I mean, we're trying to get home tonight. So it really puts people in a very precarious position.”

“Basically, yeah, you hit it on the head. If you have a partner, be on the same page. So let's say something was handled inappropriately. Maybe there was some excessive force use, which I'm not fond of and nor am I in favor of. But there may be times where you might have given a guy an extra elbow. It happens. You know, you're mad, you spit in my face. I put the cuffs on you, I give you a shot. Do you hit the door on the way in sometimes? So as long as your partner and you have the story straight, you can pretty much, without these cameras today.”

“So, yes, so that wasn't the internal affairs officer that said that. That would be your academy instructor. Ironic, he said to me us in the academy class, if you live by the rules that these guys Espouse internal affairs you'll never make a successful cop. Just cover your ass. That was his words. Just cover your ass.”

“Thanks to saying it that way, yes, because it destroys the very fabric of what people trust in law enforcement because when you need help, you got to call somebody and the person that shows up has to be trustworthy. Now, I would argue because I robbed money from drug dealers and even their drugs, you could still trust me, right? That's what I would argue. Because if you're not doing those things, essentially. You're safe with me, and I will give you the best police service that you ever asked for, and probably go above and beyond to help you.”

“So, one of the things I would suggest on that statement or that whole genre is it wasn't necessarily, we weren't necessarily trained on integrity or ethics. We were trained on this is what would happen to you if Don't take $5 from a motorist or $50 from a motorist because that will lead to one you being arrested and being all over the news, and then all the cops are going to hate you. Like it was never really explained to you as a student in an academy the depth of the lack of integrity and what you're actually affecting.”

“I'm embarrassed if I say I want to be truthful because I don't like to lie. I felt pride when I said it. Is that? So I felt full of pride when I said it.”

“No, I guess so. So the answer to, so if you say no, I mean, that means that you have no concern or care. So it was an immature yes.”

“Been at the scene of three, so I go yeah, it doesn't look too good. Does it? So she goes, Going to go downstairs I'm going to go to my car and I'm going to make a phone call, whatever I got to do. I said, get rid of that. And don't do it again.”

“So I'm going, now picture this. They know I'm corrupt, okay? But they can't prove it. I'm on what you call secret probation, even though I'm not on probation. They're watching me like a hawk. Now I got a detective who's looking at me like, we just had a beer. Our fucking fingerprints are inside the refrigerator. And he's scared. I'm not. I mean, I'm going to take a hit, I guess, right? So I go, Saj. She goes, what? That refrigerator, there's a six pack of Co My fingerprints are on the bottles in the refrigerat She looks at me, she goes. Of course it's you she goes of all the people in this police department. It would be your fingerprints inside the refrigerator on a core light bottle at a homicide scene and there's only four homicides in this precinct this year and you've been on three of them.”

“the beer, right? So I'm looking around every beer bottle's empty and right below the apartment is a bodega, right below it, like upstairs is the dead guy, and downstairs is the bodega. So we go downstairs and we tell the guy, listen, we're going to be upstairs for a couple hours. He hands us a six-pack of Corse Light. Make the story up. me my partner Tom, and in comes the detective. We each have a beer, we're sitting there bullshit and waiting for the boss to show up. She looks around, she goes. Let every be a bottle in here printed she says and in the refrigerator. Now I just put the fucking six pack in the refrigerator when she walked in.”

“And the place looked like there was a party that didn't stop. So while there, I'm sitting around waiting and waiting for the boss to show up and the squad to show up, the detective squad to show up. And I'm looking around rummaging a little bit, see what's like looking for the evidence of the crime scene. And sure enough, I hit the button on the VCR and there's a pawns. They've got the pawn on. So I'm saying, okay, he's dead. There's crack evidence of there was no crack there, by the way. It was all gone. No one leaves crack behind. The cigarette smokes were, you know, the ashes were piled out of the ashtrays and there's beer bottles everywhere. It's July. It's a hundred degrees, and this apartment has no air conditioning in it. So what has any self-respecting twenty something year old man want at this point? Not the porn, per se.”

“They couldn't use it anymore. I mean, they were smoking crack, okay? So I'm in the 94th precinct in Brooklyn now, which is Williamsburg, where you say it was a lovely place. And it was. It was becoming lovely when we would. They started opening up some studios. We got a call for dead on arrival. You know, someone was murdered. So we show up and the guy sit in his couch with a knife in his side. You walk into it at home, and there's a guy on his couch like this sitting there with a hole in his side, with the knife still in it. He's bled out.”

“So every time you take something from somebody, money, cash, drugs, personal property, let's say, it's basically a robbery, basically, because you have a gun on your hip and you're using a position of power. So you would start with robbery, extortion, burglary when you went into someone's home and came out with a product. I mean, I've taken tapes back in the day, you know, those VCR tapes. There was a lot of good stuff in some VCR tapes. I mean, we can get a little humorous here, but the reality was, you know, some guys' porn collection might be missing. I mean, these are the things that you ran into their cash, their gold coins. Whatever was, when someone's dead, it's really hard for them to complain about what's missing. It's ironic. It's stupid. It's debauchery at the same time. So you cross all the lines of decorum when you do something like that.”

“So it may have been thousands because every time I did something that was inappropriate, so you got to step back for a second. Every time a police officer puts on his badge and swears that oath and takes the job on, he's basically taking a risk on everything he does that can end him up in jail, everything. And that's really a very difficult position to be in. Everything you do legitimately can end you up being sanctioned or arrested. So I would suggest basically anything I did or any interaction I did could have been considered with some kind of criminal intent.”

“Not good And that's a touchy subject, but I accept it. And I've turned it into something where I'm able to maybe chaperone an audience because of it. But it's not nice to hear that more importantly, it's not nice for your parents to hear something like that. And thank God they're still alive. But, you know, it's not the happy day when your mother says sees your name on the front page of the newspaper, I'll tell you, and for nothing good.”

“become God. I was making more than the President of the United States by protecting one of the largest drug trafficking organizations in New York, but I was losing control and I behaved the face of New York City's corruption problem. People want to be dead.”

“To have a conversation with me about this, you're going to hear things that you won't like. Let me just say this. Being a New York cop was the greatest job in the world. It's not built for somebody to come in and be the night in shining armor. Minimal wage. Civilians are against you, and you're directly told not to make drug arrests. They got a budget to manage, and the average amount of all the time for one crack arrest was 18 hours. So that leads to the streets becoming unwieldy. So what happens is a guy like me whose entrepreneur's spirit shows up and says there's a way to control this. I can't arrest him, so I taxed him.”
