Earlier this month, a former police sergeant was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he was found guilty of acting as an agent of the Chinese regime on American soil.The man in question is former Sergeant Michael McMahon—who previously worked for the New York Police Department. After leaving the police force, however, he went into the private sector as a private investigator, and it was in this capacity that he became entangled in a Chinese Communist Party operation called “Operation Fox Hunt.”Let's go through the details of this case, as well as what Operation Fox Hunt is all about.

This is the concluding episode of Leslie McFadden's appearance on Sexual Assault Survivor Stories. Leslie's experience is a powerful example of the systemic issues that many survivors face. In October 2015, she was drugged and raped in Brooklyn. The last thing she remembers was drinks on Stone Street; she would wake up in a hospital many hours later, not knowing what happened. Slowly, she began to piece together that something terrible had occurred. When Leslie reported her sexual assault to the NYPD's Special Victims Unit, she faced additional trauma. One of the first questions a detective asked her was whether this was truly a case of assault or just regret. The next day, she was asked to make a controlled call to the perpetrator, during which he admitted to the assault. Immediately after, the detective presented her with a form that she was told would put her case on hold pending further evidence. Unbeknownst to her, this was actually a case closure form, which she signed while in distress. The detective never spoke to the assailant and closed the case without further investigation. Leslie's story is not unique. She became one of 19 survivors to urge the federal Department of Justice to open an investigation into how the NYPD handled sexual assault survivors and their cases. In 2022, the DOJ opened an investigation into the NYPD's Special Victims Unit to examine whether the department discriminated against sexual assault survivors when conducting their investigations. This episode is the conclusion of a two-part encounter. Leslie is an articulate, strong, and influential voice for victims and survivors everywhere; her ongoing goal is to make a lasting change in this world, to help overcome rape culture, and encourage law enforcement to become trauma-informed, empathic, and thorough in the investigation of rape and sexual assault. As I mentioned in last week's episode, a former guest of SASS, Rachel Izzo, introduced me to Leslie. If you haven't heard Rachel Izzo's episodes, I encourage you to take the time to listen to those as well. Rachel and Leslie share similar experiences with the New York Police Department's Special Victims Unit, and have both shown immense courage in sharing their stories.

President Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday drew tens of thousands of MAGA supporters—in dark blue Manhattan! Aside from the 19,500 people inside the arena, the New York Police Department estimated there may have been an additional 70,000 people watching from outside. The numbers were so overwhelming that even far-left media pundits like Jonathan Karl admitted it was something Democrats likely would not have been able to pull off. Despite all the enthusiasm and positive energy flowing from the rally, the regime media, especially MSNBC, could not stop fixating on a pro-Nazi rally held at Madison Square Garden in 1939. The worn-out Democrat canard that “Trump is Hitler” is all the regime has left just one week before the election.

Truth behind the crime show:Wendy Savino special guest FrankDeGennaro We discuss the Wendy Savino shooting. Wendy Savino, an 87-year-old woman, was recently officially recognized by the New York Police Department as the first victim of notorious serial killer David Berkowitz, also known as “Son of Sam.” The attack occurred on April 9, 1976, when Savino was shot multiple times while sitting in her car. She sustained severe injuries, including the loss of an eye, but managed to survive the assault.David Berkowitz initially targeted Savino before his more widely known murder spree in 1976-1977, during which he killed six people and wounded others. Although Savino provided a crucial sketch of her attacker early on, it took decades for her to be formally recognized as Berkowitz's first victim. Her survival and perseverance contributed to his eventual capture.Berkowitz, who remains imprisoned, expressed remorse for his crimes during a recent parole hearing, though he continues to serve multiple life sentences for the murders. The recognition of Savino's victimhood adds a new chapter to the tragic legacy of Berkowitz's reign of terror.#TrueCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity#CrimeJunkie #TrueCrimeAddict#MurderMystery #ColdCase#SerialKillers #UnsolvedMysteries#TrueCrimePodcast#CrimeDocumentary#TrueCrimeObsessed#MysteryMonday #MissingPersons#ForensicFiles #JusticeForAllPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.comhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossiGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedupAnd https://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/Subscribe to the channel and hit the like button This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to square off tonight in their first — and so far only — scheduled debate before the election. The stakes are immense, especially for Harris, who entered the race less than two months ago. Many voters still say they need to know more about her before they cast their ballots. Errin Haines, editor-at-large for The 19th, explains what Harris needs to say tonight to win the debate and win over voters still on the fence.And in headlines: Trump threatened to jail anyone who he believes is involved in cheating in the 2024 election, the commissioner of the New York Police Department is stepping down, and R.I.P. James Earl Jones. Show Notes:Check out Erin's work – https://19thnews.org/author/errin-haines/Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The New York Police Department is perhaps the most famous—or notorious—police force in America, depending on who you talk to. Some see it as a group of thousands of dedicated civil servants, devoted to public safety. Others say the department is rife with corruption, tangled in politics, and—at best—indifferent to the racist brutality its officers visit on Black citizens of the city. Now, a new podcast aims to shed light on the complicated history of the N.Y.P.D. and race. “Empire City” is a new narrative series from Wondery, Crooked Media and Push Black. On today's episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by the show's host and creator, NYU journalism professor Chenjerai Kumanyika.  Guest: Chenjerai Kumanyika, host of Empire City: The Untold Origin Story of the NYPD Podcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola Want more A Word?

When humorist Mo Rocca appeared on GBH's Antiques Roadshow, he was eager to find out the true identity of a treasured antique store purchase - a bronze-painted plaster bust he long believed was President Grover Cleveland. Though his TV appraisal yielded no answer, the name of the stranger he's lived with for years has finally been revealed! Join host Adam Monahan on a hilarious journey - which included the New York Times, New York Police Department and Cleveland's own grandson - to unravel the mystery behind the mustachioed model.

Should merely fantasizing about abducting, murdering, cooking, and eating women be treated with the same severity as committing the crime itself? This paradox is starkly illustrated in the case of New York Police Department officer Gilberto Valle, who frequented the Dark Web to share his violent and twisted sexual fantasies of abducting, murdering, cooking, and eating women. His case strikes at the heart of freedom of conscience, a fundamental human right that allows for the exploration of ideas within the private sanctuary of the mind. However, while this freedom is essential for creativity and moral deliberation, the potential for thoughts to manifest into actions cannot be ignored, either. The line between thought and deed can blur, especially when considering premeditation in criminal law. This is the absolutely fascinating and disturbing case of The Cannibal Cop.

No one was injured, and the bullet was found in a nearby wall. The matter is being investigated, city officials said. Police arrested 112 protesters this week after college leaders sought help clearing the Manhattan campus - a move that fractured the school community. The NYPD held a press conference on Friday to address the issue, following days of criticism for not announcing the incident when it happened three days prior. "Accidental discharges happen every single year and we average about eight a year and we don't get request [for information] on it," NYPD spokesperson Sergeant Tarik Sheppard said.

Police said that 26-year-old Bernard Junior Polite entered the Jesus Dwelling Place Church a little after 1 p.m. EST and “attempted to shoot the pastor as he was giving a sermon.” “Polite pointed a firearm at the pastor, attempted to shoot, but the firearm failed to discharge,” the statement said. “A congregation member took immediate action by grabbing onto Polite. The member and the pastor were able to subdue and disarm Polite. Polite was held until Troopers arrived.” The statement said that charges were filed for attempted homicide.

A significant search operation is underway in a wooded area off the Long Island Expressway in Manorville as part of the ongoing investigation into the notorious Gilgo Beach murders, according to law enforcement sources. The search began early last week and continued for several days, involving multiple police agencies. The Suffolk County Police, New York Police Department, and New York State Police are collaborating in this extensive search, with assistance from two NYPD Emergency Services Unit K-9s. These efforts focus on an area near exit 70, a region previously linked to parts of this complex case. "The Suffolk County Police Department, the New York Police Department, and the New York State Police are working with the District Attorney's Office on an ongoing investigation," stated the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. "We do not comment on investigative steps while they are underway. We will make further statements when appropriate." This renewed search comes after Rex Heuermann was charged with the murders of four women, whose bodies were discovered near Gilgo Beach more than a decade ago. These women, known as the "Gilgo Four," include Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, Maureen Brainard-Barnes, and Amber Costello. Despite Heuermann's not guilty plea, the investigation seeks to determine if he can be connected to additional victims found in the area. Manorville has surfaced in discussions about the Gilgo Beach murders before. Notably, it was the site where the remains of Jessica Taylor, a 20-year-old sex worker, were discovered in March 2011, several miles from where the "Gilgo Four" were found. Taylor's other remains had been found in the same area in July 2003. Similarly, the remains of Valerie Mack, a 24-year-old escort, were located about a mile and a half east of Taylor's remains in April 2011, with partial remains also discovered in Manorville back in September 2000. Authorities have hinted at a possible connection between the remains of Taylor and Mack, though no charges have been filed in relation to their deaths. The current search may be an effort to find further evidence that could link these cases or uncover new clues in the chilling series of unsolved crimes. As the community watches closely, law enforcement continues to piece together the fragments of a puzzle that has haunted Long Island for years. The outcome of this search could provide crucial evidence needed to bring further closure to the victims' families and clarity to a case that has gripped the public's imagination with its mysteries and horrors.

We saw this clip of Columbia University History Professor Christopher Brown and wanted to share it far and wide. Dr. Brown delivered these remarks on Monday, April 20 at a faculty-led “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University.” He was responding to two events: Columbia President Minouche Shafik's Congressional Testimony on April 17 and the arrest of more than 100 Columbia students the next day. Professor Brown focuses on what is happening at Columbia but his words serve as a powerful rejoinder to any and all:* grandstanding politicians, who have no real understanding or appreciation of the mission of higher education* timid academic leaders, who lack the wherewithal to stand up for faculty and make a case for the transcendent values of academic freedom and open inquiry Here is a transcript of Professor Brown's remarks:Good afternoon. I'm Christopher Brown, professor in the history department. This is the first time I've ever held a microphone at a protest of any kind. I'm not sure whether that's something to take pride in or not but I say it because this is not typical for me.I'm here because I am so concerned about what has happened at this university. With where we are now and with where we are going.Thursday, April 18, 2024 will be remembered as a shameful day in Columbia's history.The President's decision to send riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive and dangerous. We are fortunate. We don't know how fortunate we are. We are fortunate that no one was hurt.With that kind of show of force. With all those firearms, all it takes is one person to get nervous, a table to fall, a car or truck to backfire out on Amsterdam Avenue. Shots fired. The New York Police Department does not belong on this campus except in moments of extreme emergency.And that show of force was a sign of weakness. In trying to show that they meant business, what they showed was their incompetence.I want to say one other thing. And that's about the congressional testimony on Wednesday. And this is about academic freedom. It's also about Columbia.In three hours of testimony, the president of the university, to my mind, showed no pride in our institution. She said nothing meaningful about the virtues of this institution, of its people, of its faculty, of its staff, of its researchers--their dedication to excellence, their commitment to their students, the quality of the undergraduates and graduate students that we have here, the distinctive record of academic accomplishment and impact, the variety and rigor of the scholarship which is happening here today, the prospects for continued excellence. She didn't say anything about any of those things.She allowed slander of our institution to stand without rebuke. Soviet style education, no response. Intolerant bigots, no response. I know these folks and you know them too. That's not who we are and she should know that.There were members of Congress who wanted to decide who should be disciplined on this institution and how much, what should be taught, how it should be taught, who should teach, what academic department should exist and which should not, who should lose their leadership positions, who should be promoted, who should be fired.Those are academic questions. Those are not congressional questions.What is at stake? What is at stake is not just faculty governance. It's institutional independence. It's the sovereignty of Columbia University and every university like this one.The United States has the greatest colleges and universities in the world and that's why people come from around the world to study here, to research here and to teach here. That's our inheritance. The universities like this one. And we would be fools not to defend it in every corner from those who do not believe in the academic mission and the pursuit of academic excellence.So I have no confidence in her leadership. I'm speaking only for myself. I have no confidence in the president's leadership. With what she has said and with what she has not said; and with what she has done and what she has not done, she has forfeited the privilege to lead this great university. This is a public episode.

Police arrested hundreds of college students in the last week amid intensifying campus protests over the Israel-Gaza war. While demonstrations have been ongoing at some universities since the start of the war, they reached new levels after Columbia University's president called in the New York Police Department to clear an encampment on campus shortly after testifying in front of Congress. We talk to two student journalists about what's happening on their campuses: Esha Karam, a junior at Columbia University and managing editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator, and Aarya Mukherjee, a freshman news reporter at University of California, Berkeley's The Daily Californian.And in headlines: Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker detailed the tabloid's ‘catch and kill' strategy during former President Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial, the Supreme Court hears arguments today in a case that could decide whether states have to provide emergency abortion care to pregnant patients, and Pennsylvania Congresswoman Summer Lee edged out a more moderate challenger in the state's Democratic primary.Show Notes:Columbia Daily Spectator – www.columbiaspectator.comThe Daily Californian – www.dailycal.orgWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

On May 18, 1989, 2-year-old Christopher Dansby was playing with his mother at the Martin Luther King Jr. Towers playground in Harlem, New York. His mother, Allison Dansby, needed to run an errand and left Christopher in the care of her own mother. Upon Allison's return, Christopher was nowhere to be found, vanishing without a trace. Then, nearly three months later on August 10, 1989, one-year-old Shane Anthony Walker was also at the same playground in Harlem with his mother, Rosa Glover, when Rosa was momentarily distracted, Shane disappeared. The circumstances of these disappearances raise questions, was there a potential connection in these cases or was this an inexplicable coincidence? Regardless  these cases have baffled not only investigators, but the families and their community alike. Anyone with information about  Shane or Christopher is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1800-577-TIPS or you can call the New York Police Department at 646-610-6914 or the New York Housing Police Department at 212-410-8500. 8 Click here to join our Patreon.  Connect with us on Instagram and join our Facebook group.  To submit listener stories or case suggestions, and to see all sources for this episode: https://www.inhumanpodcast.com/

Making a lot of arrests and fighting crime isn't necessarily the same thing. Edwin Raymond is a 15-year veteran of the New York Police Department and one of the nation's leading voices on criminal justice reform. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss practices inside police departments that contribute to unequal patterns of enforcement, and his ideas on how these can change. His book is “An Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America.”

In policing, as in most vocations, the best employees are often promoted into leadership without much training.
