The Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) was meant to help the Baltimore Police Department fight violent crime. Instead, its officers terrorised innocent civilians. In 2017, a criminal investigation resulted in the successful prosecution of the officers, and they were convicted of extortion, fraud, racketeering, and robbery. In I Got A Monster, director Kevin Abrams tells the story of what happened, and how a crusading defence attorney named Ivan Bates helped bring the corrupt police officers to justice. In the documentary, Kevin also speaks to the GTTF's victims, giving a voice to people too often denied one. Kevin tells host Matthew Sherwood about the GTTF's Jekyll and Hyde leader. Wayne Jenkins was a tough but charismatic cop. Away from the spotlight, however, he was also utterly corrupt. They explore the question of how so many officers, who were also the subject of internal police investigations, managed to end up in the same unit. Was it a coincidence or a conspiracy?  Kevin and Matthew discuss the broader issue of police corruption in the US, how it has been allowed to continue, and what has happened to the Baltimore Police Department since 2017, Kevin also reflects on his experience of making I Got A Monster, which was completed thanks to the goodwill and help of a diverse range of people, including the FBI, local journalists, and Baltimoreons. Watch the episode at https://factualamerica.com ”... documentary has a great ability to humanise things, and to make things feel real [so] that people can get a greater understanding emotionally of what people are dealing with... police corruption and the victims of it.” – Kevin Abrams

A recent HBO documentary entitled The Slow Hustle has brought renewed attention to the mysterious death of Baltimore homicide detective Sean Suiter in 2017. Police initially claimed Suiter was the victim of a lone assailant after his body was found in a West Baltimore alley with a gunshot wound to the head. But as details began to emerge regarding Suiter's involvement with some of Baltimore's most corrupt cops, the case took a turn that raised serious questions about what actually happened and if his death was part of a broader cover-up.Shortly after Suiter died, Police Accountability Report hosts Taya Graham and Stephen Janis produced a podcast series that looked behind the scenes and examined how Suiter's death told a more complex story about police corruption in Baltimore. In Part IV of this podcast series, Graham and Janis return to the case five years after Suiter's death with Baltimore veteran reporter Jayne Miller to review a previously unreleased investigation conducted by the Maryland State Police.Jayne Miller was a reporter with local Baltimore tv station WBAL-TV for over 40 years.Studio/Post-Production: Stephen JanisHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Ep. 28 Head of Public Affairs for the Baltimore, Chicago and Fairfax County VA police departments, Anthony Guglielmi talks about advocating for LE while being transparent with and educating the public on what it means to be a police officer. He reflects on the rewards and challenges of supporting police departments in two of the largest and most violent cities in the country. While with Baltimore PD from 2008 to 2013, Anthony helped the department communicate their strategy to reduce rampant gun violence through “targeted prosecution and putting the right people in jail for the right reason at the right times.” He also discusses BPD's Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) and the resulting scandal which led to officers being charged with racketeering, robbery, extortion and fraud. Anthony talks about how this happened and what went wrong.  Before the GTTF scandal broke, Anthony was recruited by Chicago PD to manage the release of dash cam video of the killing of Laquan McDonald by Officer Jason Van Dyke, video that contradicted police statements. It was Anthony's job to help the department and the city rebuild public trust. Ultimately, Chicago PD become one of the first departments in the country to release body cam footage within days of an incident, a practice and a concept that was unheard of at the time.   After Chicago PD, Anthony joined the Fairfax County Police Department in Virginia outside Washington D.C. We revisit the January 6th insurrection and Fairfax County PD's mutual aid response. And we talk about Anthony's commitment to telling the real stories of LE. His teams have produced and distributed videos about the good work officers do. In Anthony's words: “Here's what you didn't see on last night's news.” ©Abby Ellsworth. All interviews booked, conducted and edited by Abby Ellsworth.  Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/OnBeingaPoliceOfficer (https://www.facebook.com/OnBeingaPoliceOfficer) and https://www.facebook.com/abby.ellsworth.52 (https://www.facebook.com/abby.ellsworth.52) Instgram: on_being_a_police_officer Twitter: @AbbyEllsworth13 Email: Abby@Ellworthproductions.com https://heroespodcastnetwork.com/ (https://heroespodcastnetwork.com/)

Tom's guest today is Justin Fenton, who covers crime and police accountability for the Baltimore Sun. Under the best of circumstances, those are two distinct beats. But for the last four years, Fenton has been covering one the biggest policing scandals in American history, in which the criminals were cops. The Baltimore Police Department’s Gun Trace Task Force was created in 2007, designed as an elite, plainclothes unit that would excise guns from city streets. The GTTF came to international attention when it was exposed as a criminal enterprise that had thrived for years, undetected and even celebrated by the senior leadership in the BPD. The scope of their malfeasance continues to unfold, and the ramifications of it, in terms of past convictions and future prosecutions, are significant. In Justin Fenton’s telling in his assiduously reported book, the story is as riveting as it is horrifying. The book is called We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops, and Corruption. Justin Fenton joins us on Zoom… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CulturalDC presents the second video installation in partnership with Baltimore-based curator Teri Henderson. The exhibit, “SUBVERSIONS,” will be projected onto the windows of CulturalDC’s Source Theatre in the historic 14th and U Street Corridor in Northwest Washington, D.C. “As An Enemy” is a multichannel video installation showing the corruption of the Baltimore City Police Department. Curated in collaboration with Baltimore based writer Brandon Soderberg, “As An Enemy” offers a stark microcosm of corrupt police forces across the country. The exhibition creates space for the victims of police brutality by telling the unique story of Black men and women victimized by the Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF)—a plainclothes police squad, led by the diabolical Wayne Jenkins, established to maintain the racist legacy of “law and order” in Baltimore City, following the 2015 murder of Freddie Gray. In response to Gray’s murder—during which Baltimore Police officers broke his spine and crushed his throat—the city erupted in weeks of proper protest and righteous outrage. In response to that outrage from citizens, the GTTF terrorized Baltimoreans—stealing money and drugs, while causing violence, terror and death. They often targeted known drug dealers, knowing their cries of injustice would be ignored by the judicial system.

We each reviewed a different True Crime bookThe Cold Vanish: Seeking the Missing in North America's Wildlandsby Jon BillmanThese are the stories that defy conventional logic. The proverbial vanished without a trace incidences, which happen a lot more (and a lot closer to your backyard) than almost anyone thinks. These are the missing whose situations are the hardest on loved ones left behind. The cases that are an embarrassment for park superintendents, rangers and law enforcement charged with Search & Rescue. The ones that baffle the volunteers who comb the mountains, woods and badlands. The stories that should give you pause every time you venture outdoors.Through Jacob Gray's disappearance in Olympic National Park, and his father Randy Gray who left his life to search for him, we will learn about what happens when someone goes missing. Braided around the core will be the stories of the characters who fill the vacuum created by a vanished human being. We'll meet eccentric bloodhound-handler Duff and R.C., his flagship purebred, who began trailing with the family dog after his brother vanished in the San Gabriel Mountains. And there's Michael Neiger North America's foremost backcountry Search & Rescue expert and self-described "bushman" obsessed with missing persons. And top researcher of persons missing on public wildlands Ex-San Jose, California detective David Paulides who is also one of the world's foremost Bigfoot researchers.It's a tricky thing to write about missing persons because the story is the absence of someone. A void. The person at the heart of the story is thinner than a smoke ring, invisible as someone else's memory. The bones you dig up are most often metaphorical. While much of the book will embrace memory and faulty memory -- history -- The Cold Vanish is at its core a story of now and tomorrow. Someone will vanish in the wild tomorrow. These are the people who will go looking.If You Tell: A True Story of Murder, Family Secrets, and the Unbreakable Bond of Sisterhood by Gregg OlsenAfter more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the word mom, it claws like an eagle’s talons, triggering memories that have been their secret since childhood. Until now.For years, behind the closed doors of their farmhouse in Raymond, Washington, their sadistic mother, Shelly, subjected her girls to unimaginable abuse, degradation, torture, and psychic terrors. Through it all, Nikki, Sami, and Tori developed a defiant bond that made them far less vulnerable than Shelly imagined. Even as others were drawn into their mother’s dark and perverse web, the sisters found the strength and courage to escape an escalating nightmare that culminated in multiple murders.I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squadby Baynard Woods, Brandon SoderbergWhen Baltimore police sergeant Wayne Jenkins said he had a monster, he meant he had found a big-time drug dealer--one that he wanted to rob.

The city of Baltimore has been accused for a long time of being racist and corrupt, but after a federal investigation into the police department, and specifically its plainclothed police Gun Trace Task Force revealed the unit was running a criminal enterprise under the guise of being a "hard-charging" squad of police, the shit really hit the fan. Thousands of cases and convictions were now put in question, as it was revealed these police planted drugs, stole money, and lied in their reports so that they could get away with their crimes.

En América Latina y el Caribe se estima que cerca de 159 millones de niños han sido afectados por el cierre de las escuelas producto del COVID-19, lo que representa el 95 % de los alumnos inscritos del continente (UNICEF, 2020). Ellas y ellos se suman a las abrumadoras cifras que, a la fecha, indican que 1.500 billones de estudiantes en 191 países, y alrededor de 60 millones de docentes (GTTF, 2020) han sido afectados por el cierre preventivo de escuelas ante el COVID-19 (UNESCO, 2020). Como se ve, esto constituye una crisis inédita a nivel global y el desafío educativo colectivo de mayor escala y magnitud de la historia moderna. Quizás estos números sigan sin provocar mucho, más aún en estos tiempos acostumbrados a medir todo drama humano en cifras. Por eso, un ejercicio necesario es recordar que cada uno de estos datos tiene un rostro, cada número es un ser humano que sufre en su hogar, junto con su familia, las consecuencias del COVID-19. Estimaciones ya han alertado, por ejemplo, que entre 42 y 66 millones de niños/as podrían caer en la pobreza extrema como resultado de la crisis de este año (Naciones Unidas, 2020). Por otra parte, se espera que la desnutrición alcance a 368.5 millones de niños en 143 países que normalmente dependen de las comidas escolares (Naciones Unidas, 2020). Y por si eso fuera poco, se ha alertado que la inactividad física, el acceso restringido a espacios al aire libre, la escasez de espacios interiores abiertos y un mayor tiempo frente a las pantallas debilitará de manera general el sistema inmunológico (UNESCO 2020). Todo lo anterior afectará con mucha más fuerza a niñas y jóvenes mujeres. Por ejemplo, se exacerba la carga de trabajo no remunerada como dueñas de casa o cuidadoras de enfermos o personas de la tercera y cuarta edad. A esto se suma el aumento de violencia doméstica, abuso y explotación sexual dentro del hogar, donde las brechas de acceso tecnológico por género profundizarán las inequidades educativas, y post crisis aumentará el riesgo de embarazos adolescentes no deseados y se reducirá su autonomía económica (UNESCO, 2020).

On this week's episode we're joined by veteran Baltimore Sun crime-beat journalist and terrapin grad Justin Fenton.  Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005, has covered the Baltimore Police Department since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.'s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen and a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman.  He is currently on assignment working on the GTTF case. This week we sample Old Forester Prohibition Style Bourbon.  Like covering Baltimore's crime scene, this drink is not for the faint of heart.  It's an uncut 115 proof with a sweet nose and a solid aftertaste. After diving in we have a long conversation with Justin about a wide variety of topics such as life as a reporter, dealing with deadlines, and the best and worst stories he's ever covered.

The effects of the The Gun Trace Task Force, a group of now nine police officers, accused of robbery, drug, and racketeering are just being assessed. To a get a sense of the fall-out over one of the worst scandals in BPD history, we talk to Ivan Potts, who was arrested by GTTF. We also talk to Corey Winfield, a violence mediator from Safe Streets on how he thinks the scandal will impact the streets.

Today we continue our series of Conversations with the Candidates with Baltimore City State’s Attorney, Marilyn Mosby. She is running for re-election in the Democratic primary that takes place on the 26th of this month. Early voting begins on Thursday. She is opposed by two other candidates, Ivan Bates and Thiru Vignarajah. The winner of the primary will run unopposed in the general election. Marilyn Mosby drew international attention when she indicted six Baltimore police officers in the police-custody death of Freddie Gray in 2015. None of those indictments resulted in a conviction, but Ms. Mosby points to a 95% conviction rate to date for her office overall. The State’s Attorney’s office prosecuted more than 41,000 cases last year. In addition to the violence that rocked Baltimore following the funeral of Freddie Gray, the city's police department has been in nearly constant turmoil since Marilyn Mosby was elected in 2014. There have been four police commissioners in the past 3 1/2 yrs. The city and the police department are under a consent decree with the Department of Justice. And eight members of the elite Gun Trace Task Force were convicted of running an extensive criminal enterprise. The leader of the GTTF was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Wednesday. Of the more than 2000 criminal cases associated with the convicted officers, the State's Attorney's office reports that 220 cases have already been dismissed. Ms. Mosby oversees a staff of 400 employees -- including more than 200 attorneys. Her annual salary is the highest of any Baltimore City official. She received a Presidential Scholarship from Tuskegee University where she graduated with a BA in Political Science. She holds a law degree from the Boston College Law School. She is 38 years old. She is married to 40th District Delegate Nick Mosby, and they live in Reservoir Hill with their two daughters. Tom's conversation with Ms. Mosby, like all his previous interviews with candidates in the June 26 primary, is Live-Streamed on WYPR's Facebook page. In the second and third segments of the show, we also take listener calls and comments.Visit our Conversations with the Candidates page to listen to all our interviews with the contenders for Baltimore City State's Attorney, Governor, Baltimore County Executive and other key seats in the June 26th Maryland primary.
