Police corruption

So, I think I saw this in theaters when

it came out, and I thought, I think this was like in a wave of these kind of movies, like Heat Light, or like, you know, Dirty Cop, Training Day Light movies, you know.

What's that cop one with Richard Gere that Nick likes? Pride

and Glory?

And in one of the flashbacks, when one of the perpetrators said to him, how come you didn't join the fun? His response was not my kind of fun.

This is a New York City film exposing police corruption.

The true story happened in the 60s and early 70s.

Again, he was shot in the face in 71.

Karen Dolly writes for the Daily Maverick and writes books, and all five of her books are books that you should have in your home.

And the latest, The Untouchables, Drug Lords, Dirty Cops, and South Africa's Darkest Secrets is the one I've most recently read.

I finished it over the weekend, and Karen, it is scarily brilliant, brilliantly scary.

Thank you for writing it, and thank you for talking to us this afternoon.

They've seen the Matlanga Commission.

They've seen during the years the police corruption.

They've seen the previous extreme criminals like Raravan Krecher and others that have seated themselves in our country and made huge amounts of money and how they operated.

And this kind of crime cannot flourish unless there's authorities involved.

So they've got a complete infrastructure in place before they open up shop here.

When Ian Cameron talks about focusing on street-level dealers, why are we not making inroads into those high-ranking CEOs that you talk about?

Police corruption and fear of the police.

Our biggest problem in our country, of all the problems that I've mentioned, is that the public does not trust the police because the police are usually involved.

And it's like, his plan, I'm going to get that money and we're going to get out of here.

But bats yeah uh they get back yeah they get they get back to headquarters doc is angry bats is like those are dirty cops and doc's like yeah they were my dirty cops yes yeah yeah you shot the guys who are working for me yeah so heights off nope no more heist it's off canceled um but again kevin spacey's another one of those like paul williams he's the guy in charge but he's not threatening Yeah.

He's got strings, but not weapons.

So Bats gets Buddy and Darling are like, no, we're doing the heist.

Trust me, you don't want to be associated with me in a little bit.

That's actually who it was that it showed up there.

It wasn't the Dirty Cops, it was the Me Too

movement.

I mean, he's trying to pull it back together,

but... ...goes to the heart of the issue with Dirty Cops.

And this is coercion 101.

Now, in this case, what you've learned and what hopefully...

His slide says at the top, Dirty Cops Police Coercion 2008.

You've

heard during the time we spent together is that Mr. Davis wanted his own attorney.

It's time for F'd Up Professionals.

Nobody likes a dirty cop, especially good cops.

And I'm going to go out to Houston.

And on Wednesday afternoon in February 2008, Houston police raided a house on Elm Lawn Drive where they found a gram of PCP and 132 grams of cocaine.

And by the way, if you missed our interview with Karen Dolly, between four and five.

I really do urge you to pick it up on primediaplus.com. On our website, the book she's written is called The Untouchables, Drug Lords, Dirty Cops, and South Africa's Darkest Secrets.

Much of what's been covered at the Madlanga Commission also comes up as a strong theme through that book.

And Karen was a great guest with some very, very interesting things to say.

Yeah, on the cop list.

I mean, there's a lot of cop movies, but there are dirty cops

in that one.

There's a lot of dirty cops, which I think leads us in...

Look, we're going to talk about police copaganda and police portrayal and film and TV.

I just...

They do.

I think the realism in this movie is well done.
