Customer Reviews
Very informative
We need this information so very much. We can’t progress as a civilized society if we pretend that issues such as these don’t exist. Reasonable people understand that not all law enforcement is bad or corrupt, but the good ones who try to do the right thing need our support a lot more. Thank those officers for speaking up often at great personal risk.
Binge and cringe worthy..!!
This is done very well. It’s disgusting how corrupt law enforcement in America can become. I sure hope this can be used as an example of what not to let to happen in other large cities in our country. The amount of taxpayer money that goes to out of court settlements is astonishing, the amount of crimes committed by those with authority is more than criminal. LA sheriff’s are violent racist gang bangers with a badge who will lie in a heartbeat to cover up brutal beatings, shootings and murder and then investigate themselves and magically find their own not guilty, no wrongdoing and worthy of promotions rather than being fired AND sent to jail. I’m left speechless multiple times in every episode. PLEASE LISTEN!!
Not Journalism
Episode after episode and you can’t find a single person to give some sense of balance.
