Some of New York's Finest turn into New York's Dirtiest

There has been a surge in NYPD corruption cases. For those who think Cops never do anything wrong. Your wrong, they are capable of taking advantage and manipulating the system in unimaginable ways. Police officers are delegated to protect the city and the people that reside in it. The crimes committed by these crooked cops range from abusing drugs, stealing property from dead people. Soliciting sex from female suspects in exchange for overlooking crimes, stealing credit cards to attempt murder for hire.

According to the New York Post. Police recruit Kabeer Din, 22 was convicted of trying to hire a hit man for $3,000 to take the life of his Long Island girlfriend. Bronx veteran Detective Dominic Calvanico, abused his power with a women involved in an identity-theft case when he told her he would make her case go away. She performed oral sex on him in her car. Then reported the incident to Internal Affairs and Bronx DA. He was found guilty at his NYPD trial of bribe receiving, coercion, associating with a criminal and filing false statements. He resigned and lost a portion of his pension to avoid criminal prosecution. This is just a recap of police corruption. Listed below is the statistical report from the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Prodigy takes “Up North Trip”, pleads guilty to third gun charge

Prodigy, of the infamous rap group, Mobb Deep, caught a 3 ½ year prison sentence yesterday (October 9th), after pleading guilty in Manhattan Supreme Court to criminal possession of a loaded gun, according to the Daily News. On October 26, 2006, Prodigy and producer, The Alchemist, were pulled over by officers when the pair were seen making an illegal u-turn, and driving the wrong way on an one-way street, apparently in an effort to nab a parking spot. A subsequent search of Prodigy’s SUV, turned up an unlicensed .22 caliber firearm. Initially, Prodigy (32) denied knowledge of the gun, which was found hidden inside of a secret compartment between the driver and front passenger seats of his Chevy Suburban. But midway through his trial, Prodigy, (real name Albert Johnson), interrupted court proceedings and confessed to ownership of the gun. After his confession and subsequent guilty plea, Prodigy reached a deal with prosecutors that limited jail time to 3 ½ years, rather than the 15 normally given to felons facing their third gun charge.

In related news, this sentence caps an end to a turbulent two months for Prodigy. During a September showcase hosted by DJ Premier at New York night club S.O.B.’s, Prodigy was involved in a scuffle with fellow New York rapper, Saigon. Youtube clips show Saigon punching the embattled Prodigy in his face, before being chased out of the club by Prodigy’s posse.

Capital P facing time for latest gun rap

These days have been looking like Hell on Earth (1996 Mobb deep album) for 32 year old Queens-bred rapper Prodigy. According to the New York Post, He went on trial earlier this month for possession of a unlicensed .22 caliber handgun found by police in his Bulletproof Chevy Suburban last October. Cops found the fully loaded gun in a console compartment between the driver's seat, where he was sitting and the front passenger seat where Hip Hop-rap producer The Alchemist was sitting. He has two prior gun possession convictions and can get up to 15 years for this one. Anti-crime cops pulled the SUV over after a U-turn was made by Prodigy. He was also driving the wrong way on Ninth Avenue at West 31 street in Manhattan. Subsequently this, heavily reinforced doors and windows warranted the search of the vehicle. Both of them were arrested. Prodigy's defense case started yesterday. I will keep you posted on his fate. The charges against the Alchemist have since been dismissed.
