In Baltimore, Maryland, an elite group of plainclothes officers called the Gun Trace Task Force gets hundreds of illegal guns off the streets every year. Secretly, however, these detectives are also robbing people, selling drugs, planting evidence and framing innocent people. When some of the officers go too far, it triggers an FBI investigation that reveals the Gun Trace Task Force as one of the most corrupt police squads in American policing history. Jessica Lussenhop tells the story of the rise and fall of this once-powerful unit of officers, and its leader Sergeant Wayne Jenkins. And she asks: why do good cops go bad?

After watching "We Own This City," this really paints a complete picture of the culture of corruption of Baltimore PD.
Highly recommend the book! It really brings home the human pain caused by these police as individuals. A major theme of the book is the recent history of modern American policing (stop and frisk/ Freddie Gray) RIP Freddie Gray and RIP Sean Suiter
Entire city council is corrupt. Might be the most corrupt city In the world
Being originally from Baltimore it’s amazing to see just how far the city has regressed since this time. It’s an absolute bloodbath there right now and most of it thanks to this group of criminals undoing positive policing strategy for that type of environment. NOW the entire city has turned into an open air drug market, while the city continues to rot and decay there’s no plan in place to even begin to allow the city to heal. Within he next 5 years the city will be to far gone to fix, between our criminal mayors, tax cheating police commissioners and downwards this city has had no time to catch its breath and it’s starting to show exhaustion. 🙏🏻 I pray for the regular citizens of Baltimore who are just victims of circumstance, stuck in a never ending cycle of violence and corruption.
It seems to be a widespread problem in good old Merica as a whole.
@@jenniferlynch5216 Wow that's messed up.. Also allowing people to steal and run out of stores is appalling...
You can tell he wanted to be a lawyer so bad. "I never took money from the house but took money from the other guy who stole from the house" He's a professional liar!!
He's trying to say he didn't steal much money because his wife will ask him where it all went, which was strippers, hookers and booze. His wife and family are his lifeline and he doesn't want to lose them. That's his agenda here.
Also their assets got frozen so there’s that lol
His wife is an absolute moron if she thinks he is a good dude. Personally I think she ignores his cheating because of the money he was bringing home
His bank accounts got frozen but he stole dirty money. Now way he would put in a legit bank. So he probably had a stash but has to down play it
Exactly. HIs first story is about 10K he can blow on a bachelor party. How the fuck is that not lavish?
@bellezanegra0206 If you dig deep enough I believe in a book it states he would often brag about having half a mill buried somewhere.
There are thousands of Wayne Jenkins on the force throughout the country!
Not true. It's funny how most claiming cops are dirty are criminals. Never heard a law abidding citizen complain about police.
Yep I be met quite a few myself.
Yeah it's by design not by accident that is who people are supposed to "trust" with their safety then people know they are never safe they need live in fear.
99% of cops are dirty. What he is saying, he was brought into it by higher ups. If you are a cop and you never wrote a traffic citation to an other police cruiser, you are dirty. If you saw a crime or violation from an other officer in uniform and did nothing, you are dirty. If you are scared to speak up, you are dirty. We forget that cops are human first and people lie, steal, rape, kill.. . Without 100% transparency and full accountability nothing will ever change
😂 It's fun behaving as criminal when you're above the law. But when you have to face the Judge without your badge shit gets real.
Most of them did less than 10 years, jenkins is doing 25, it’s like they never received the real punishment lol

@@adonis3289they’re cops a day in a jail can be bad for them I doubt they want to do any time
Should’ve got 125 years rotten to the core!
What about the drug dealers and wannabe gangster he took it from 😂 you’re a clown
After watching We Own This City, i am intrigued by this story. What I found most interesting was that the bad cops were quick to snitch on each other to get less time. They had no loyalty to each other once they got caught.
No honor among thieves
They had no loyalty to each other the whole time. They’d steal from each other
They’re snitches for a living what do you expect
Who wants to be in his position serving 25 hours when they can get off with 7!
Bc they were criminals lololol duh bro
Baltimore resident here and all my life I've heard how corrupt the BPD is, the show and the book really put it all together. The Wire also paints a really clear pic of baltimore. Its an excellent show.
The best show ever!
I mean... is Baltimore only crime?
Wow this guy is a total narcissistic sociopath. He just sat there in the call and justified everything he did…what about all of the people you blatantly stole from that weren’t criminals? What about the people you planted drugs on? The prescription drugs you stole from the pharmacy? What about the people whose homes you searched without warrants so you could take more money from them. He says he wasn’t rich. Didn’t have nice things. Come on bro. No one believes you and you deserve to spend every second of your 25 year sentence. He sees himself as the hero and the victim of this whole story. Well everyone was doing it so it’s not a big deal!
Well, he was robbing drug dealers. Highly doubt he would go for a clean person with no records because that person just wouldn’t hide lots of cash at home . Yes police corruption is bad but at the same time current system just sucks
They wasn't planting drugs on clean people, they was taking drugs from drug dealers. He wasn't rich, he didn't live this glamorous life people try painting. Yes he was wrong and as a police we expect honor and truth. Unfortunately every law enforcement office in this country has this. The area you police is what determines how much scandal and level of fuckery. Baltimore city is literally a open air drug market , people getting robbed, beat, killed everyday. It's hard for me to have pitty for drug dealers. It's all in the game. I have yet to see where any of Wayne's "victims" was not in the game. Again I'm not saying he was right, he def was wrong . But he wasn't a mastermind crazy rich dude that people paint him to be. He was just one of the ones who got caught is all
@@dr.hero18 A lot of other cops do just fine in this current system, he's a scumbag, and that's that.
They ruined and took people's lives they should have been sentence to life in prison
This was outstanding, Jessica and the rest of your crew. A+ !! I was hooked and binged all 7 episodes.
I agree this was fantastic
@@sloride3222 I'm wondering if there's another story to come given that two cops in the GTTF got out early.
@Anthony lee - ?? Hey, Idiot, I binged all 7 episodes of this BBC podcast, not the show. We are literally commenting on episode No. 7 of this podcast. You are a stone-cold idiot, man. Now apologize for your unintelligence. I hate when unintelligent people talk to me when I’m not talking to them first. SMH
Think he meant episodes of the podcast. This is the 7th
@@TSquared2001 I think it’s ridiculous that they got let out early ……these guys ruined a lot of lives…they wr basically an organized criminal gang.
I'm from east Baltimore and was present for all of this.. i know for a fact one of the kids they pulled over refused to cooperate so they took him back to his house and proceeded to rob him for like 10 thousand... well he owed that to his dealer and ended up getting killed over that.. tell me again how you never "hurt anyone"?
You must not know Baltimore that dude 70% chance didn't get caught they only solve like 30% of murders
Watch. We own this city. They covered that guy’s murder in the last episode I think.
@@edmondt848 shit is crazy
@@bellezanegra0206 yea, in the show they actually used some of the real victims so that was cool
Didn't the show depict exactly that 🧐
His entire defense is “don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
It’s all in the game, yo
Essentially yes. When you put it simply like that, thats exactly what it is.
That's the same thing all the drug dealers and gang bangers and murderers involved in that garbage says. But just because a garbage crooked cop says it doesn't make it any different than when one of the garbage individuals on the street in that life says it. They are all garbage in the same trash pile. And they all deserve each other. And in the end no matter what excuses they make for living the life they did they deserve whatever they get and the world is better off without them
💯
Kinda based
Great work, this story hasn’t gotten anywhere near the attention it should of have gotten in the mainstream media.
Lol crooked cops a dime a dozen
@@splashmontanacapone8981 ya but you rarely hear about it in the media.
Yes it did. You must have no been paying attention when it happened
Hbo will get this story the attention it deserves, we own this city is great
@@GonzoGolf that’s what brought me here
Unfortunately I don’t think we’ll ever be able to completely get rid of corruption in police departments because they are staffed by humans. Just like we’ll never be able to run public schools without child predators as teachers. It’s just the nature of dealing with people. The goal is to keep the numbers low, which appear to be very low luckily and punish the offenders when they are identified. Praise the good police and teachers and denounce the ones who do harm.
that is exactly how i have always seen it
I dont understand why it's hard to believe. People are individuals and some make bad decisions. It's not limited to any profession.
You forgot churches alterboys and priests.
More priests molesting than teachers.
Wrong. This is not a “bad apple” situation. This is an institutional problem rooted in American history. The problem is the criminal process itself. Virtually every objective investigation of a U.S. law enforcement agency finds that the police, as policy, treat African Americans with contempt. In New York, Baltimore, Ferguson, Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, San Francisco, and many other cities, the U.S. Justice Department and federal courts have stated that the official practices of police departments include violating the rights of African Americans. The police kill, wound, pepper spray, beat up, detain, frisk, handcuff, and use dogs against blacks in circumstances in which they do not do the same to white people.

As far as cops, they take anyone with a high school diploma. They don't get paid a lot, while being given a lot of power. I'm sure if you're a cop in a dangerous city, putting your life on the line and come across thousands of dollars it must be hard not to be tempted.
I was a city cop for 23 years and never took a nickel. That's why I never went into a specialized unit. He's right, they didn't care if those guys lied as long as they got the arrest. I just stayed in patrol and handled my calls, didn't have to worry about how many people I arrested.
This is not a therapy session !
It’s why I got out of policing, the normal guys were starting to get pressured for numbers.
Thank you for your service
Brother these guys were drug dealers and criminals I have no sympathy if they got robbed they’d make it back the next day from the community
The first thing he talks about is money. How broke he is and how modest he lived. Really? Poor frickin you. What do the other Police Sergeants do? How do they survive? What a load of crap. And that he never stole money from people personally? Or that he stole money from the safe? Just lie after lie. He never hurt anyone? All the people he put in prison that shouldn’t have been been put there is just ridiculous. Horrible how he justifies and lies about it. I’ve dealt with criminals for over 40 years and still do daily. They all have a way of thinking. This guy is a criminal. He thinks like one, talks like one, acts like one and it’s so obvious that his mind works like one. This guy is a crook through and through.
Just because he is a scumbag dirty cop doesn't mean that all of the people he's put in prison aren't scumbag criminals that don't deserve to be where they are. And I'm not saying that he didn't lock up people that shouldn't be there I'm saying that it is just disingenuous to say all the people he's locked up.
@@jamessampson964 he's a pos and it's worse that a so-called criminal because he's a filing cop!
ALL of his arrests should be overturned.@@jamessampson964
This cop is an incredible liar. I mean, he’s obviously had a lot of practice and he’s pretty good at it. But damn, this guy is good. One lie after another lie after another. With no responsibility. At all. Well actually just a few times, kinda. But he doesn’t accept he did anything wrong. Unbelievable this guy.
Fax.. it's exposing a whole other layer of how this is a greater system targeting black. And brown neighborhoods. Only........ONLY.....it's a huge system and black n brown ppl have to b aware of this....it's sad and unfair
I’m from Baltimore… I also have friends that are cops here. He’s not lying. He just got caught. Many of them are corrupt + desk duty or paid leave. They are gang in the name of the LAW!
It’s crazy that the truth is so unbelievable that it’s seems like a lie. He may lack accountability. But remember this behave is going on + overlooked by many… he just got served up.
It’s all part of police culture these days. They feel overworked, under appreciated, and underpaid. So they go and justify blatant criminal behavior and corruption by crying that they were just trying to feed their families. Cry me an effing river. I was in the U.S. Coast Guard for 24 years, and just a few years ago, I watched as my fellow Coasties struggled when the government shut down and we didn’t get paid for two months. Yet we still had to show up and do our jobs. With zero pay.
@@omcorc God bless u brother n thanx for ur service ur a real heroes.
Whats he lying about?
Oh how amazing it is to see this dirty cop Jenkins see how unfair the justice system can be. It's hard to have any sympathy for him when he's put countless people through this by planting evidence on them. At least he can sleep well in his low security prison knowing he's 100% deserving of his sentence.
LOL SO TRUE!!!
From what I can gather online,he keeps getting shipped to different prisons after getting jumped by other inmates
GOOD. He deserves every bit of it. @@jakeackermann9059
What he failes to understand is that he wasn’t the best the Department ever had. The numbers don’t matter. Once He manufactured those gun arrests, he was breaking the rules, the law. Those numbers never counted.
My whole squad hated Jenkins and we’re all happy he got what was coming to him.
What part you at? They really didn’t do park heights to dirty but that Belvedere Towers shit they got my man..definitely didn’t charge him..he was shook af for a while waiting for em to come back & grab em..
It's good to hear from what I assume and hope is an actual honest and genuine BPD officer. And if that is the case thank you for your service and I hope and pray that you and any like you have a safe long and productive career.
@@jamessampson964 not the police squad
So y'all knew he was committing crimes and didn't do anything! 🤡🤡
Sad thing is those men did not care about their own families, it could have been very deadly if these thugs would have gone after some real gangsters.
With the new news of one cop getting immunity, there has to be a part 8 to this
Plus with the murder of Suiter
@@pimpchez Suiter committed suicide, allegedly
If anyone deserves to be in prison it's definitely this guy.
Yep
Looks like I'll be watching "We Own This City" for the 3rd time... great in depth and informative podcast✊🏿💯
Oh I’m stoked to watch it for a second time now
The show was great and was the real life Sean Suiter a good guy like the show? I hate that he felt so cornered he had to take his own life.
Where can I watch it?
@@itssLaury HBO or HBO Max
This is a soft shoe interview. She isn't asking the real questions. She isn't calling him on his bullshit. This is racism that's embedded so deep that he can't accept that what he did was incredibly wrong. She wants the interview but still won't hold his feet to the fire because when it's all said and done the people that were affected don't look like her. She uses phrases like the people of Baltimore. NO! Thay didn't have white victims of their crimes. These were Black People. You have to catch criminals by the letter of the law that you took a oath to uphold. You can't get on the job and rewrite the law to benefit your personal gain. It's all shameful!!!!
100%
What abt he’s co-defendants most more black, what’s their excuse 🤷🏽♂️
I agree with a lot of what you said except the racist part because if he'd of been working that same unit in a white part of town he would have been doing the same thing. If you don't want those types units in the black part of town then do something about getting rid of the gang bangers and drug dealers. Until you do that that part of your argument is just Hollow empty inflammatory words
They upheld a system of white supremacy, so they are s***bags just as much as Wayne jenkins is.@@CJ-kq8je
He doesn’t have any money in his bank account because they froze his assets. He didn’t even deny stealing, he just said he wasn’t living lavishly.
This is something that happens in almost all departments!! In Southern California the biggest gang police unit is LAPD! Not that they're on a gang task force but that they themselves are gangbangers themselves, some are even cartel members, especially the Los Angeles Sheriff's department plain clothes gang units.
Wouldn’t doubt it!
He pled guilty because he knew what the Fed's had on him and the members of his task force. He thought he was the law because of all the leeway his superiors gave him. Once they found out his tactics were the same as the people he was arresting. They took a step back.
That is true. And I believe there are actually a lot of good cops but unfortunately it seems that most of them today don't see themselves as enforcing the law but as actually being the law.
I came here from "We Own This City" this is by far the best series since watching the movie 🎬
There’s a movie?
Hell yeah
What is the movie called?
what movie tell us???!!!
There is no movie
When they locked me up I knew the warrant to search my home wasn't legit..but who am i,after sitting in jail for over 11 months at the corrupt Baltimore City Detention Center a judge agreed and let me free smh
The search wasn't legit. I get that. What I don't get is why not say it was complete bs because you had not committed any crime at all. Unless....?
@@jamessampson964 it’s Baltimore. It’s not easy to prove that stuff when they automatically side with the police. I’ve been on multiple juries where police have lied blatantly and people still want to side with the police.
@@jamessampson964 You really think saying the warrant wasn't legit is going to stop a cop from arresting you? Or get you out of jail without bail? You can absolutely be arrested for something you didn't do in this country and sit in jail for months if not years before being found not guilty by a judge (if you can't afford the bail, which is arbitrarily determined by the judge).
@@jamessampson964 if the warrant wasn't legit and the cops are still there searching, who is he supposed to proclaim his innocence to in that moment? What was his course of action? Resisting in any way means additional charges and an ass beating by the police. Use your head man. You sound extremely naive.
Definitely need more of these series from different departments, just like the FBI investigating corruption and the agent got arrested
Yea I was saying the same shit 🤣😂. Hopefully somebody can tell Ed Burns to keep going dont stop
@@eddjones2477best way to make that message clear is to buy everything dude is selling. Shows, books, merch, whatever.
Happy Wayne Jenkins Day!
This was wonderful I’m from Baltimore and this whole story is crazy
Things I heard:
"I shook people down, suborned the badge, and destroyed what little credibility the police had; but I didn't go out and buy a nice car, so y'know, no foul there."
"I wasn't a bad guy until I became a cop. So, lesson learned, right? The first time I ever waved a gun in someone's face, hid evidence, lied under oath as an arresting officer, or skimmed drug seizures was *after* I got a badge and the power - not before. So I should get some credit for that."
"For a police officer to do his job right, he has to trample the Constitution."
"There are people who are irredeemable "Bad Guys" (patent pending), and I am the sole arbiter of who they are."
"It wasn't me who had all of this coke and heroin that had the idea to sell the seized drugs, it was a guy with a prior drug record that came up to a high-profile cop and asked multiple times to sell stolen drugs, unsolicited. Because, of course the guy with a previous drug bust is going to be the one to volunteer to enter a corrupt enterprise with a person known for jailing people to improve his arrest stats."
"I'm delivering drugs to my contact all the time that I'm stealing from people and concealing from prosecutors. I can't afford to work with dirty cops, c'mon..."
F him. Twenty five years isn't enough. He says that's "mob time, racketeering time". When you act like a gangster, you get gangster time.
Still lying, still denying, still trying to manipulate the story. I hope you get a big dose of prison justice.
You’d be a fool to think BPD is the only police department in America that gets down like this….Philly, New Orleans, Chicago,LA, St. Louis gotta be on the same shit too.
We Own This City!!!!!! Enough Said
This guy is the worst of the worst he needs to do every year. He's worst than a regular criminal bcuz he had greater access to way more bad elements than a regular criminal.
I agree he should be held more accountable because of the oath he took but he is no more of an actual criminal than the scumbag garbage cops are supposed to bust.
But damn does he explain it so well. Very charismatic
He's a dirty cop thru + thru - he's where he belongs and good riddance
He should be in a real prison but at least something happened
Agree completely
It’s so sad that someone would ruin an innocent person’s life by putting them in prison for a crime they didn’t commit, or stealing money and putting drugs back in poor communities, so he could take his family on vacation and take his kids to Applebees. What about the innocently convicted people?
But most id not all of those people were not innocent. They were criminals. And he stole from the criminals &
@@TriRacialAmericana It doesn’t matter. He’s a bigger criminal then they are because he’s supposed to Uphold the Law and not abuse it for his own personal gain.
@@TriRacialAmericana Ma'am The corrupt officers involved are not any different. They're criminals themselves
But he wasn't living lavishly 😂🤣😂🤡 what a POS.
They were all criminal street people....
@12:52 his true narcissism is showing here. “You have to do it because you won’t win doing it fair.”
Right, I get trying to make cases stick, but what about the money and drugs you stole and sold? Was that apart of the ends justifying the means? Lol. He forgot to mention that. True narcissism. He’s where he belongs.
Yep exactly
And robbing a MIDGET stripper????!!!! How depraved does one have to be to think to DO such a thing?
That's what happens with plea agreements. You have to sign to whatever charges are there. He did it to other people and now he knows what it's like. I can't feel bad for him if it's true.
There is no rehabilitating this character.
If you want real reform. Then hold the political leaders accountable.
Right off the bat. He doesn’t APOLOGIZE to the many lives he affected. He goes straight to ‘money.’ He is justifying deliberate and callous choices he made that derailed many households. If a criminal is wrong. Let them be wrong. As an officer anywhere; don’t be [ wrong ] alongside [ the criminal mind ]. Jesus speaks of all of our choices we make.
This makes The Bible A C T I V E and not and ‘old’ book.
Great work. This should be on the DVD as a extra. Huzzah
This happens everywhere. I was involved in the world of drugs for many years (in the UK). You constantly hear people say they were searched and either some or all drugs and money would be missing. It's easy to steal from criminals...what are they going to do about it?
dude lyin like a mf bruh he been doin dat shit bruh way before all them dudes he recruited dem dudes man he been doin all kinda shit bruh he basically was a gang leader frfr
dis happens where im from the drugs and money they find on ppl always come up short in the reports when its time to go to court
You can't trust a word out this man's mouth.
75 precinct is real good documentary on corrupt cops in 80’s in N.Y.C.
That was really interesting
@@MrOctober44 Dudes was driving Ferraris and Porches to Work and the Higher Ups didn’t say nothing😆😆😆😆😆 The other Precincts were just as crooked so nobody was gonna snitch🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
2 years late but you forgot about the 30th precinct in Manhattan. Referred to as the dirty 30. Check that one out. I think they got caught before the 75th.
I love the light shed on this corrupt set of law enforcement officers.
We need to keep them accountable. All of them.
Where are all the bootlickers??? 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Right!!!!... Back the blue till it happens to you.
He's got such a White Maryland Man accent. Lol. Sounds like my uncles 😂 they crooked as hell too!
This guy has money stashed he is a lier
Wow. Just wow. He said they can't get convictions by playing it fair, cause if they follow the law, then people would beat their cases. WOW!
And that’s messed up because apparently the laws allow criminals to go free. So the laws need to be changed to ensure that they will be convicted of their crimes and so these cops don’t feel like they have to bend the rules to catch them.
@@TriRacialAmericana See I got something different from that. Being as prisons are at the most over populated they've ever been, either he's lying and the law does work at sending criminals to prison....or there's a nationwide corruption problem with police falsifying evidence and sending innocent people to prison.
8:23.. u wasnt the best at nothin.. u lied on ur police reports and robbed people of their freedom!!! 😡😡😡
Exactly!
The only people robbed of their freedoms though we're the ones that were actually really innocent of any crimes and I'm sure there were some. As for the rest karma's a b**** live with it
That's the game. If you aint cheating you aint trying. Following the rules, you'll get no arrest...but robbing regular citizens aint part of the game.
If you ain't cheating then you ARE trying. Trying to do the job as honestly as you were hired to do it when you took the oath. A lot of it falls on the American citizens themselves that are too weak to throw politicians out of office that make it too hard on police to do their jobs because they're worried about losing a vote. Also on the flip side no one wants to live in a complete police state because then we would be living in the equivalent of communist Russia or Nazi Germany. But there is a balance to be found and I'm not saying that it is easy but there is one it will just take a lot of honest and open and transparent discussion and work to find it and implement it
On top of all the theft and corruption, imagine how many lives this man has destroyed by lying on arrest reports and set ups. All the mums and dads with addict children! He is a one man death and despair factory!
But he said repeatedly he didn’t put no one away thst didn’t deserve it so ….
What those cops did is completely unacceptable. They are also trying to do an impossible job.
This needs to be a series and you need to hit up David Simon.
Davin Simon is already doing a series based on this case. It's for HBO. It's based on the book We Own this City, which focuses on the GTTF.

I thought it would be a routine speeding ticket, until they wanted to charge me because me with a fake DWI because I stupidly told them what prescription drugs I take from my authorized Dr who prescribed them. Yes, they can do anything they want to you, including having the top of your hand stabbed by an unprofessional flobodamist who obviously has no experience drawing blood. The 1st lady who drew blood stuck the needle into the top of my hand where the boney veiny area is and when I recoiled on pain, she did it again with blood oozing down my hands. This was happening while 5 cops watched in humor
We have to stop saying their are a few bad apples on the force. Reality is there are a few good cops. The rest make up their own rules and follow the laws of a corrupt system.
Bingo!!!
People condemn "criminals" (I use that term EXTREMELY loosely) for the stop snitching code yet give police a pass when they consistently defend bad cops. Just like crimes yes there is a difference between being a crooked cop and a cop who watches other crooked cops do illegal activities and say nothing however that doesn't mean the latter still isn't a bad cop also.
Them boys in blue are the biggest gang in America. Always have been always will.
This guy is still a liar
First and foremost, when you plead guilty in Federal Court there comes a day when you must stand up in court and detail to the Judge what you did in total. If there is something wrong in your case there are legal avenues to remedy that. Jenkins should be thankful he didn't get more time.
Every city has a bad cop gang
u want to give ur kids a better life? its called overtime, a promotion, or a 2nd job!!! 🤦♀🤦♂🤦
Eh... He was robbing drug dealers, and the scum of society. He wasn't robbing, saints. The only thing that was out of line, was the chase, that led to an innocent man's death
Pretty much what he was doing.
@@JJ-nu8qi maybe. But he was absolutely doing it the wrong way.
@Theonly Craig except for the stealing money and selling drugs part
I mean dude was getting tons of OT, promoted and dealing drugs (2nd job) soooooo while he is garbage this comment is hilarious he followed your playbook
This clown was top cop of phoney arrest. How much did he personally cost Baltimore ¿ Cherry in top of his b.s. pile is $10,000 cash 100% of the time & Unlimited overtime is not LAVISH. Very amusing to hear him speak like he's not in prison & on patrol
“I just want everyone to kno we wasn’t livin lavish, they said we was makin thousands, even millions, we wasn’t. But my kids got whatever they wanted.” How u think that the innocent ppl u set up, and put illegally behind bars kids was living???
That is why ALL OF his arrests should be overturned. Whomever really deserved to be there, will likely fucc up again, and get re-arrested and imprisoned, the RIGHT way.
He sounds like the classic narcissistic racist. He has no remorse for what he’s done. I have no sympathy for him. He can rot where he is.
Most of the GTTF officers were black. Race has nothing to do with it, these guys were corrupt simple as that
Racist?
@@corynewland1701 yes.
Racist? Most of his crew was black. Guess you gotta throw race in wherever you can.
Nope I don't think so. If he was a racist he would not be working with those black officers as well as he did and getting along and hanging out with them. If he was a racist whether he was making them dirty money or not they would have handled him themselves and he would have probably died in the line of duty because they didn't actually need him to be making that dirty money. Just like Bay and a lot of others said it was all over the department they could have done it in other places or if he was killed in line of duty whoever replaced him would have probably picked up right where he left off making them money
Excellent presentation 👏
I served with Wayne Jenkins in the Marines. I remember him being a really good guy. I'd like to go see him in prison to ask him for myself, Why?
bcuz absolute power corrupts, ABSOLUTELY!!! 😡😠🤬
I know that buddy, but I want to here him say why, why he dishonored our corps values? Did he think he was the good guy? Is there a deeper cause within the department?
@@jackploof8458 This whole story is fascinating. My personal opinion, he says he was introduced to corruption, essentially first thing on the force. That's probably all it took, cause it felt normal
Lot s of ex military are cops.They seem to forget that oath they took.
@@jackploof8458 A dirty cop who arrests hundreds of bad people is a good swap. That's 1 bad guy instead of hundreds
@Robpasq Absolutely he tries to make it seem like he was made this way by other cops but my pops was a cop I got homeys that were cops and good men. I was a street dude that sold drugs in the 80s and 90s and this is the worst kind. This dude was a lying piece of crap before he ever touched a badge or a gun and my money is on him as the one that set up officer Sean Suiter to be killed who was set to testify against him and his squad. He said he wasn't living lavish yet he took ten thousand dollars from people on the regular. Plus,they don't throw drugs outta the window they keep em for evidence for informants that are addicts, or even to frame people. This dude would do it again if he could get away with it btw 3 kilos $45,000 is bull sh* t. Now as Sgt he is saying other guys took the money In busts that he was in charge of he is a piece of crap and he will do 23 years… Btw Wayne you are a gangster
I think suiter offed himself. Cops r cowards and if he thought there was anyway anything could be connected to him I believe he definitely would have taken the easy way out. He knew if he got on that stand and was questioned his a$$ wouldn't be able to do it without lying or getting himself hemmed up.
@@garrettromer8499 he had his deal already he wasn't going to prison bro.
Man if this cop was only making 45000 for 3 keys and only 25k total for 50pds every week his partner in crime must be filthy rich lmao
It would be foolish to accept anything that man says at face value...
the Punisher brought me here.
Wayne Jenkins is as a bad as it gets, he deserves every year of those 25 yrs! Enjoy your time Wayne!
Born and raised in Baltimore City’s O’Donnell Heights and just recently moved out of the City, bcuz wether you want to agree or not, and sometimes the truth hurts or it isn’t fair, but citizens (who were living honest lives) felt safer with them on the streets. The ONLY people whom really were afraid of these guys, were the drug dealers and criminals. It had absolutely nothing to do with race, which is common sense when you look at the GTTF. You can’t argue with the numbers when it comes to statistics of when they were on the street compared to the shootings and so fourth when they left the streets. Sometimes you need that necessary evil. You can’t expect to win against an enemy that doesn’t play by the rules, when you have to play by the rules. History has proven that time and time again. Sure I had confrontations with Hersel and Gonzo, but I respected them for being in the pit of Balto City everyday, with the little money that would’ve made. Yet we want to pay some unskilled and lazy people $15 an hour bcuz they deserve it? GMAFB, that’s BS!! A few of us pitch in and put money each month on all their books bcuz we didn’t realize how much we need those types of cops in a City like Baltimore.
While I don’t agree with corruption it takes wolves to catch wolves you need guys like Wayne just not dirty
Some of the things he is saying are so astronomically false. It's almost comical.
"We always threw the drugs out the window." But, they caught him reselling drugs he stole from dealers. Wtf
It's hilarious how the first thing he wants to tell her is how he's somehow less culpable because he blew every penny of his share lmao
Based on my vast training, people who constantly bring up religion (“so help me God”, “as God as my witness”, etc), they’re always lying.
Very True!
Great Job getting the interview. I don't believe most of what Jenkins is saying when he deflects responsibility. I think he richly deserves 25 years for the harm he has caused to police-citizen relations. On top of that, I think many cops are corrupt and better shape up (or ship out) because the cameras are going to catch them being dirty.
He fu#$Ed up over 20 peoples life I know personally including myself. He should have life. I would. I did over 14 yrs in prison, split in 3 sentences.
They will even tell you before pleading that if you don’t take their plea deals and choose a trial then lose they’re gunna try to give you the maximum sentence!
They do that because if the penalty for going to trial was the same as a plea deal than no one would plead out and the system would fall apart. They've done studies that show the justice system does not have anywhere near the resources to afford every a trial for every criminal defendant charged with a crime.
They threw the drugs out the windows …. Yea right .. they sold that shit !
Bail bondsman and dopeman at the same time 😂😆😆😂
So he did not enrich himself but spent it on his kids. That first $10,000 should have bought a lot of baseball bats and cleats. what did he spend the next $10.000 on?
We Own this City
Jon bernthal did a great job as him
@@johnny8030 most definitely
The wire been told y’all this was going on lol
Lol these simps just now learning hahaha
Has anything improved in Baltimore since? Crime rates are through the roof. Whatever is wrong with that city is not the police.
Wayne likes to tell lies one after another, well your prison ! Thanks for other police for standing up
I would of liked the opportunity to work as a cop . These guys have a great career n just threw it away sad . I was high up on the firefighters exam n got deployed with my guard unit and got hurt n never got that job they don’t hire gimps sucks the hood people get screwed and jerks like this are good to go . Glad he got busted
So when does a convicted felon get to say what they believe what their sentence should be? When do you plead guilty and then say well, I don’t deserve that much time for my crime I only deserve this amount?
The arrogance even after being locked up is impressive!
I was surprised they let him stay in uniform that long
Don't be it happens more often than people realize
All of these shady cops should be given life in prison .
This is Baltimore! Jenkins represents this city!
He was 100% honest in this interview. What he said cops do is exactly what they do. I dont think Ive heard a cop be so honest lol.
No he wasn’t….just because other cops do what he did doesn’t mean he was truthful. He put innocent people away. Lie one. He didn’t hurt people? He did. Physically, emotionally, financially. Lie two. He didn’t take money out of peoples pockets or money that he clearly was apart of taking. Whether directly or indirectly. Lie three. He wasn’t rich and had no money. Lie four.
We Own This City is a good series 🔥
ITS THE SAME ANY WHERE THE POLICE ARE A GANG
interesting to see if this story garners more attention / views now that 'We Own This City' has concluded.
