The task force was poorly managed and staffed by detectives mostly out for themselves, and the internal politics made success incredibly difficult and almost impossible - almost, but not quite.Witnessing bad cops, brutal crimes, and realizing the department had been compromised, the cost was much higher for me personally than I anticipated.I left the unit two years later, severely broken, edgy, and dangerously damaged.StreetCreds is the story of how all that came to be. Hold on for a reality check.
