0:00 I would gut that alligator and then climb welcome to the final level [Music] so I'm going to share with you guys an interesting story about a retired NYPD officer named Sal De La Cruz it sounds like a drug dealer already wow that's profiling so he's 31 all right uh just for some context uh he retired at 31. how do you retire at 31. I mean NYPD really it's just done I'm out so yeah so at the time of his retiring his salary was 143k a year whoa
0:50 is that height for a 31. yeah you know that is chump change really because think about the cost of living in New York plus HOA fees wow what's what's starting salary for A1 NYPD do you know the 100 I mean even L.A right it's like 102.95 a year starting all these big cities are high salary and that's what they want to get you at like oh it's high salary but then you gotta factor in cost of living in in the city that you live in major city that's why I almost joined 95 when we were looking LAPD was like 60 starting Santa Monica was like uh 90. starting wow yeah but this was what two
1:42 thousand I want to say nine yeah back in the day so they have it so now it's probably way more but back then it was still a lot yeah so that's what he's making at the time is retiring on top of that he ends up after his retirement he got accused of accepting bribes for the previous five years whoa college is a drug dealer while in service yeah for the last five years of his career apparently he was allegedly accepting bribes from a Mexican burglary Squad what uh who he was like homies with and he was helping them evade arrest for their entire like burglary career where they were targeting um small businesses predominantly Asian and uh yeah that's ████ up man they know we keep it all cash yeah they would
2:32 do robberies they would do like uh armed robberies armed invasions and uh three of the squad members of that burglary ring have been arrested but the leader went to hiding they can't find the guy what a crooked cop did you guys see that crooked cop uh NYPD from uh the soft white underbelly yeah that's a great interview yeah he just tells you like how slowly you get more and more corrupt like it just starts with a few things and then later it just full blown you're a drug dealer holy ████ and you think it's gonna be really nuanced and Technical but it's actually very plain yeah like how he did everything he's like yeah we would just bust people for drugs and then we would make them pay us it's very like regular they just shake down drug dealers oh wow yeah and sometimes they would like take the drugs and then sell it on them yeah and he ultimately got caught not because like
3:24 he was exposed but because he ended up beefing it with a different cop and then that cop ratted on him oh yeah it happens all the time man it's like bad apples in every profession right it's just like in the police department it's more magnified because now you are the civil servant you know people believe in you and you're given this power I mean it happened in Chicago too there's like this uh gang unit this Tech unit uh that worked closely and they would do warrants on these homes that had drugs they would bus them take take the drugs take the money then they'll take a cut from the money and just disseminate it into their group and they started started with you know a couple hundred then it came to a couple thousand then it got real bold then you know Aid you know the internal investigators started to investigate like what the ████ going on because these drugs there's like hey man these guys are coming home this is how much money I had and all the drug dealers
4:15 were telling on them yeah because you know they get arrested so they're like oh yeah on the paper it's like hey so yeah we confiscated this x amount of money they're like wait what I had a million yeah not a thousand yeah I had a hundred thousand no it says this 50 wait what it happens man or they can just keep lying just like yeah that could be an angle it's like training day it is like Training Day ooh it's scary wait so you're saying training day is a documentary you give certain people power and they and they just abuse it yeah you know have you ever witnessed like being part of different departments yeah have you ever witnessed another cop do something that wasn't up to standard so uh luckily in my 14 years as a cop all the people that I've been able to work with or or you know during whatever call or crime scene or everything all these cops were
5:06 outstanding individuals oh that's great none of them were on that scandalous I'm not saying does is all police departments like that I mean the whole police were absolutely not it's impossible it's big though right major cities don't they have like 10 000 or some oh yeah outrageous numbers oh huge it's huge yeah how many did the Chicago Police Department have like how many how many guys they got 12 000 people right there Wow have you ever had an incident where like you like the people that you work with was fine but you know someone in the department and you hear like something happen you're like him yeah what the heck oh yeah there were guys who went through the academy graduated got their star got their gun went out drinking had their pistols tucked in the back the bouncer was like hey man you had enough to drink you got to leave you ████ pulls out of the pistol throws on the ████ table make me leave like I'm a
