people are now confirmed dead and there are growing concerns about the outbreak of disease by those are the headlines from us no doubt zero fault lines is next. three years ago faultlines went to baltimore during a historic uprising following the death of twenty five year old freddie gray in police custody the city's pain in anger over decades of police abuse had reached a boiling point and the nation took notice i can't tell people not to be angry you
2:22 pm
know to have a rights of being this is the time to accept they could do with it. we were just baltimore flooded the streets to demand accountability and when the federal government launched a civil rights investigation and the officers who arrested gray were charged with crimes it looked like some accountability might come. but at the same time another police scandal was brewing. and during the chaos of the protests a police officer named wayne jenkins was actively running a drug operation he took prescription drugs that were stolen from looted pharmacies and resold them on the black market but that's not only was doing just. plain jenkins was a sergeant in charge of a powerful unit of plainclothes detectives their job was to take firearms off the street but this f.b.i. evidence revealed that the officers operated as
2:23 pm
a gang within the police department profiling residents breaking into homes stealing cash trafficking drugs and looting the city of overtime pay what did they do. what did they do. it was crooked cops around it don't bad things the people. in two thousand and seventeen eight officers were arrested in one of the worst american police scandals in a generation faultlines returned to baltimore in the midst of that scandal which raise questions the communities across the us have been asking for years how do corrupt officers remain on the street and who should police the police to these officers were finally caught who caught them the u.s. attorney's office and the feds as it were. and that's at scary because what. because of an outside agency didn't step in they'd still be
2:24 pm
out there. the f.b.i. use wiretaps to close its case against baltimore's corrupt cops this is audio from those recorded phone calls but. want to. talk about the detectives can be heard plotting their next crimes so if i want to report when their paychecks arrived they bragged about stolen over time. right when i looked at. that there's a lot and as the f.b.i. closed in the detectives joked about the brazen schemes of their boss.
2:25 pm
that's the voice of detective jamil raymond pleaded guilty to a host of robberies and conspiracy to resell guns and drugs. so this is rames plea agreement from two thousand and seventeen but ramsey plea revealed something even more shocking he had committed crimes for nearly a decade he admits to crimes dating back to two thousand and nine sometimes detective ray i'm stopped residence in broad daylight and dropped them on the side of the road. that's what happened to gary brown. you know if we don't. in about. age and you
2:26 pm
don't think about it took my money playing a long time well before you both know. i didn't hear about stuff like that oh i think a lot of us to find out for you they just took the money. hold on little girl. what did you think when he told you that the police stole that money plus our luggage that they were supposed to. you know believe they were actually police it still is money. but isn't that who do you think did it then when either they were i think they left like a parcel. they were monsters and they were. it was two thousand and nine and brown was driving up this street in west baltimore he had cash in his trunk which he planned to deposit at the bank but before he could get there ran and two other plainclothes officers pulled him over. he say cut
2:27 pm
the cough and go so i got the call for i got all he begins to go through the car open the doors and. takes a couple software me to come on you all in his writings buddies get in the car and pull off he didn't give me a saw. a context he didn't see nothing but. the officer still eleven thousand dollars from the trunk so brown went to this building to complain even though it doesn't look like it this is actually the internal affairs building where residents are supposed to go and file complaints against officers total office interiors baltimore stationary company it's like they're in cognito inside this building the police department investigates its own officers but these misconduct investigations are secrets in maryland and twenty two other states and officers disciplinary record is kept confidential why do you think they made the buildings internal affairs building so obscure the internal affairs
2:28 pm
division does appear to have let this covert operation right i think that they believe were conducting these top secret investigations and so why would we want the public to come in here interfering with that so that that's a problem. internal affairs has the power to discipline officers but in cities across america that rarely happens when brown was robbed baltimore's internal affairs division ruled against officers only seven percent of the time. these are the confidential files from the investigation of detective ray i'm well it's a good one it's difficult to get a copy but a whistleblower gave them to civil rights attorney josh inslee and i'm going to shock the cops going to want to he said she said in baltimore city you know on the law but this wasn't a he said she said return affairs investigates that they bring these guys in they take statements they take famous for mr brownlee polygraph everybody and graham fails the polygraph you know did you rob this guy had no probability of deception
2:29 pm
greater than ninety nine percent. internal affairs caught detective ray and in two of his colleagues in a series of lies area allegations of misconduct sustained misconduct general sustained graham could have lost his job false statement sustained and they go back to duty sustain. the guard and. they rob somebody need to go polygraph he failed but that's not what happened graham appealed the ruling in a trial board of his fellow officers cleared him of wrongdoing i mean it's like getting caught tiptoeing out the window with the with the mask in the bag in the dollar sign on to that of the crime scene and that's still not enough. then what is you know what getting data by the feds that is that's the only stop that is to be so notorious that the actual u.s. attorney's office has to come in and take you off the screen the police department kept ray him on the street and the public remained in the dark state law treats
2:30 pm
these cases and these officer misconduct allegations is personnel records that are held confidential and not able to be released to the public officers are actually public servants they have the public trust and they are of course there to protect and serve the public and so when they have violate the public or accused of violating the public it's something the public should know. brown never got the stolen money back and he didn't know that ray him had stayed on the force. one day when i was watching t.v. and his picture popped up i saw some of it took my money play of city sold drugs with another former police officer and how did you feel when you saw their knock on wood. i think i told him that i would the internal affairs until he took my money ten years ago you are just getting.
2:31 pm
when you have people in the neighborhoods and you say look at these police rob you they be true they plant drugs on you discipline we know they do. and. we're going to send them back out there anyway it's a reflection of this whole stance that the city has in the value of their lives. and that's the problem and that's where riots come from there. was one thing. anybody was. just supposed to protect and serve. yelling doing none of that then up police and then advantages to enforce it for. then we have no respect we have respect for them. you know. the corruption was not limited to detective or am. after the two thousand and fifteen uprisings here the department of justice began a civil rights investigation of policing in baltimore. the d.o.j.
2:32 pm
found that police here routinely violated people's rights. and internal affairs had enabled those abuses. and this report the d.o.j. found that internal affairs almost never hold officers accountable in baltimore between two thousand and ten and two thousand and fifteen they ruled against officers accused of serious misconduct only two percent of the time. let's be honest this is not something that just exists here in baltimore but this whole you know giving additional exter deference to law enforcement and treating law enforcement as if they're somehow above the law above the people is just a culture it's a mentality of. during the obama administration department of justice attorney jonathan smith revealed a national trends. d.o.j. investigations of some twenty american cities found the police had failed to police
2:33 pm
their own finding that accountability systems are in adequate and broken and that in general fairs is not designed to identify and address fears misfired police officers is a common finding in place department after police department after police department what makes this scandal so serious and significant and political is that over time the department has failed to address its own issues its it failed to engage the community and mistrust has built up. we're sure will form isn't always pretty it's messy sometimes in baltimore this man was hired to tackle the problem soon after the protests in two thousand and fifteen kevin davis had a lot of work to do this place was a mess there was no accountability here the lack of accountability in internal affairs contributed.
