VLAD interviewing his co workers now. That’s what’s up

“Considered to be one of New York’s dirtiest cop!” “Thank you, happy to be here!” Can’t make this sh up… 🤣🤣😂
-
I had a cop like this save me in my early 20s. My car had 20 years in it & the cop knew it. Best 500 I’ve ever spent
-
Thanks Vlad. You did excellent interview prep and this clearly caused Michael Dowd to share a lot more about his story.
-
“They begged me to be a Doctor, a Lawyer or an Accountant.” That dude would have done WAY more damage as one of those things lol
-
If an interview is anywhere over 30 minutes I always skip through the boring parts, I didn’t skip one second in this interview 👏🏽
-
“The 7 5” was one of the best Netflix docs ever 😂😂
-
This is one of his best interviews by far! Great stories and questions.
-
As as 17 year old, paying $200 instead of having the car seized is a pretty good deal.
-
Still consider a cop who works with the dealers less corrupt then cops who plant evidence
-
Give Mr. Dowd his flowers and make the studio picture of his life, a product of his environment, thankful that he is still sharing these stories.
-
I've seen the documentary that he referred to and this interview is much better than the documentary could offer.

VLAD finally interviews one of his own

The guy is fascinating in so many ways. Most people try portray themselves in a certain way. This guy seems so honest that it makes me want to know more. I hope he writes a book.
-
This is one of the better interviews lately
-
These corrupt individuals can be so charismatic it's unbelievable
-
Gotta respect the man’s ability to state the facts of his actions, good bad or indifferent, he’s not afraid to admit he was a scumbag at the time
-
I found Jimmy's story fascinating from the interview, book and TV series. The honesty he conveys in this interview needs to be commended.
