  • Exposing Dirty and Dangerous Cops. My Kind of Conversations.

    I have been looking for a podcast like this for many, many years, including former cops to reach out too. I uncovered a lot of higher up cop crime because of my dirty cop, brother which led to my researching, and this is already helping me heal tremendously. This podcast is for you if you care about learning about politics and the dynamics inside our police departments. This is the guy exposing it all and we must protect him and his guests at all costs.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#126 - Behind Blue Lines: Inside Internal Affairs When Cops Investigate Their Own w/Marlon Marrache
Q: As an Internal Affairs investigator, are you building the truth or building a case?
He explains that, in practice, investigations can be outcome-based or process-driven, with a troubling tendency toward self-serving outcomes at higher levels, and emphasizes the need for rigorous, transparent, evidence-based processes.
#126 - Behind Blue Lines: Inside Internal Affairs When Cops Investigate Their Own w/Marlon Marrache
Q: What started your path in law enforcement to start defending cops and then eventually led to you becoming an Internal Affairs Officer?
Marlon describes how his law school path and front-line experience drew him to defend cops, then shifted toward IA to ensure accountability from the other side, ultimately leading him to his current work as an IA-focused podcaster.
#116 - Dirty Little Prison Secrets: Behind The Walls & The WhisleBlowing of Female Prison Corruption w/Andrea Weiskircher
Q: What drove you to come forward about the abuse inside the prison system?
A combination of accumulated evidence, personal trauma, and a realization that without public exposure and legal scrutiny, the abuses would continue unchecked. She emphasizes the need for accountability and an ombudsman-like reporting channel rather than relying on internal systems that protect staff.
#111 - Rodents to Retaliation: Inside the Boise School District Controversy Parents Need to Hear w/Michelle Chung
Q: What was the turning point in the dispute with the school district?
When I escalated to medical leave and then obtained independent inspector findings that contradicted the district's denials, leading to pressure that culminated in a settlement.
#111 - Rodents to Retaliation: Inside the Boise School District Controversy Parents Need to Hear w/Michelle Chung
Q: What started this crisis for you in the classroom?
A mouse problem that escalated to chronic infestations, with mice in appliances, droppings on cooking utensils, and ultimately Lyme disease linked to exposure, which the district denied and minimized for years.
