The 75
Documentary about the 75th precinct in New York City and a group of dirty cops and their history of trafficking cocaine, burglaries and robberies in the early 1990's.
The worst of them, Michael Dowd, drove around in a new red Corvette, even parking it at the precinct.
It finally fell apart when a guy that they hired to sell coke, sold some to an undercover cop from Suffolk County, New York. Dowd wound up only serving 12-years in prison after bring convicted of racketeering and conspiracy to distribute narcotics.
After His conviction, Mayor Dinkins appointed a commission to investigate police corruption within the NYPD. As a result, dozens of officers across the city's precincts were arrested.
Fascinating and sad documentary.
