"50 Years Dealing with the System"

THE INTERNAL INVESTIGATION

Lonnie D. Hammond Episode 6

Members of the police department's Vice and Narcotics Division are under   investigation on charges of Distribution of Narcotics and Conspiracy to Distribute Confiscated Drugs.  If  convicted of these charges, these officers could be required to serve active prison  sentences.  Several convicted  felons and drug users are accusing these officers of forcing them to sell drugs which were confiscated during  drug raids. Every member of the squad  is  being scrutinized and the  investigation is being done by the State Bureau of Investigation instead of the local internal affairs division. Everyday activities of every  member of the squad is being analyzed. Every members are being questioned and eventually several members of the squad are arrested. As expected, the newspapers and TV  stations reveal and  print every detail they can uncover.

 How will these incidents affect the remaining  members  of the unit? Are these convicted felons, former snitches  telling the truth? How can the DA be trusted when he has some questionable  reasons for prosecuting these officers and how much does this incident affect the individuals arrested by these officers? Are these cooperating individuals telling the truth or just "helping themselves".? These and more questions will be answered in this episode. This is the beginning of several life changing decisions   everyone, including  myself,  are forced to make. How many other charges will be instituted and what will be the results of these charges?
