DOSSIER SEASON II - BONUS EPISODE 6: THE RAMPART REPORT PT. 2
Manage episode 398725634 series 2822688
When any police department gets into trouble, leadership will do their best to triage the problems right away. At the biggest police departments like the LAPD or NYPD, a lot of times these internal task forces are developed, wherein seasoned investigators along with a version of Internal Affairs decide to roll up their sleeves and go after their own.
But do they really?
In these circumstances, sometimes begrudgingly, police departments will put together joint task forces that include FBI agents, and that is where the fun really starts. Because if you know anything about law enforcement, you know that no cops really like the FBI. My knowledge about Rampart, and some of the investigative bodies comes from Phil Carson and what he talked about on Season 1 of The Dossier. He was brought in as an FBI agent in the Public Corruption Division of the FBI to work with LAPD investigators as a part of RAMFIT.
But again, I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves here. Let’s take this step by step, to really find out WHAT the LAPD did right after they realized their own officers were robbing banks, stealing coke, beating people up, planting guns and drugs - and oh yeah, they also are working inside Death Row Records for Suge Knight.
