This is an excellent documentary, both harrowing and comical, as Dowd and Eurell relate their gradual slide into criminality from robbing drug dealers to protecting them and their business (shades of the "New York's Finest Taxi Service" in The Usual Suspects), to eventually dealing themselves, all the while being documented by a Federal operation into corruption at the precinct. Highly recommended.

Bad Cop, Worse Cop - Precinct Seven Five
Among the latest films from my Amazon DVD subscription was this documentary about corruption in the NYPD's 75th Precinct (Brooklyn) in the late 1980's, centred on Officers Michael Dowd and Kenny Eurell.
This is an excellent documentary, both harrowing and comical, as Dowd and Eurell relate their gradual slide into criminality from robbing drug dealers to protecting them and their business (shades of the "New York's Finest Taxi Service" in The Usual Suspects), to eventually dealing themselves, all the while being documented by a Federal operation into corruption at the precinct. Highly recommended.
