Michael Dowd on Being NY's Dirtiest Cop, Working for Drug Dealers, Going to Prison (Full Interview)
In this VladTV Full Interview, Notorious former NYPD officer Michael Dowd spoke about his time on the police force after joining in 1982.
The former police officer detailed working during the crack epidemic and how he transitioned into being a rogue cop, which included taking drugs and money from people on the street that he busted.
Dowd detailed select moments from his career which included having a hit placed on him and confronting the guy who ordered it. From there, Dowd talked about his venture into being a dealer himself.
He also spoke about getting arrested along with his partner, who wore a wire and cooperated with the feds, and Michael spoke about getting sentenced to 14 years in prison. To hear more, including Ben Stiller making a movie about him, hit the full interview above.
And this was the I Love N.Y. era.
Would have made more money as an Accountant ????????????
Ain’t nothing to see here Playa. Just 2 dirty cops having a conversation
CIA INTRODUCED CRACK TO ALL MAJOR CITIES
This dude is Ray Romano playing De Niro’s lawyer in The Irishman lol "Did you do it? Because it doesn’t matter if you did, I’m going to defend you!"
poor guy
Amazing interview
If Vlad ever gets somebody who knows how to interview people this channel would be fantastic.
IF BOBBY BACALA FROM THE SOPRANOS CAUGHT AIDS ????????
And they wanted to kill me because my girlfriend at the time was getting of the train on Norwood and fulton and one of the drug dealers got fresh with her so I ran up to him and punched him a few times in the face. Dominicans started coming out from everywhere and chased me, I got away but they put the word out in the street that they were going to kill me. They new the block that I lived in but not the house so they had cars parked on my block with hitmen for 3-4 days. I had to stay in my cousin’s house that week to let things calm down. But they would have killed me anytime I showed back up, So me and some of my Puerto RIcan boys from the hood went to the drug dealers’ restaurant in Norwood and Fulton and we walked in with guns in our waste band. Ready to shoot it out if we had too. We spoke to Chelo the big boss, a little guy about 5’6" and explained to him what happened. He called his drug dealer worker that I punched in the face and told all of us that if we brought heat to his drug spot he would kill us all including his worker. But he also told his worker that is was over and ordered him to squash the beef. And that was the end of it. The killing and destruction to East New York continued for another 5-6 years until the government finally decided to take action and take them out.
Vlad is a fucking investigator. The most corrupt NYC cop is even surprised Vlad knows this information. Vlad aint to b fucked w.
You want ain’t making it on vlad TV unless your a rapper, a gang banger or a crook.i gotta get my shit together, I like the crooked and ex mafia members, it takes you back in the day and visualize how life was compared to now. Hell yea ????
This SOB should be locked up and throw key away. He disgusting. Disgrace…
B. Nn
Crazy I drive and smoke in the 75th Pct. same area this guy was in… I could’ve gotten smoked.
Edit: This guy seems pretty bad, but I’m sure there’s a lot worse out there.
Thank you for your service.
Lemme guess he’s clean now ????????
I don’t necessarily think he’s a sociopath, all I see/hear is an old school NYC dude. Loud, assertive, confident and says whatever is on his mind to whomever, without hesitation. NYC is an exhilarating, vibrant and intoxicating place. The city that never sleeps because it’s almost as if the city itself is on drugs, an infinite mainline of high grade cocaine and 1990’s era extacy (when they were called “rolls”) flowing directly into its infrastructure. I don’t think it’s possible for someone born and raised there to possess, in the slightest, any timid or subservient characteristics/tendencies.
If I’m not mistaken, this guy started abusing drugs and alcohol which eventually turned more towards the addictive/problematic side. Maybe he did this due to the guilt he felt from his actions. A true sociopath just flat out wouldn’t give a shit. Just my unwarranted opinion. I will say, once you step into that life, especially robbing and selling large quantities of cocaine, it becomes a dog eat dog world very quick.
Survival of the fittest.
Damn, I didn’t intend to write such a long comment. Apologies for rambling.
Who the f can buy a condo for 14 grand
This fool just be interviewing anybody lol
"dirtiest cop" takes in a lot of territory
He is not yet fully repentent. Uses humor, and nervous laughter to mask embarassment. Basically a case of greed and very twisted moral compass. The allure of money is very strong and its easy to see how one could be swayed. Would have liked Vlad to interrogate how all this affected his personal life…life in prison as a cop etc, and then how one picks up the pieces upon release
Dude vlad do you really have to put ads every 2 minutes
????????Blessings forever
GOD loves y’all too forever tell everyone you know and don’t know. Jesus loves y’all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forevern
4 minutes into the interview & he’s a horrible liar, he knows it. He’s not confident with his answers, he fabricates alot to make us believe he was doing the community a favor!! He knows VLAD isn’t buying his shit. He’s a bad interviewee. Talking fast trying to BS ????????
I wouldn’t believe him even if I was standing next to him experiencing the same thing.
I have more RESPECT, trust, and faith in people like Mike Dowd and Sammy Gravano who have made mistakes, served their time and who have no reason to lie now and don’t (actually being held accountable and have paid the price) than I do for any of the LIARS in The Government, those corrupt ppl heading some of the three letter agencies, the "news" media, Congress, or The Senate. Definitely more honest and transparent than even our own FBI!?? Anyone see a problem with this? I think we the people need to stand the F up to all of this brainwashing and BS!! Enough is enough!
He would be the second dirtiest police officer if i was a cop there
This dude ain’t no joke!
This man is not an anecdote. He is the rule.
In the old time that is the way for life, every country pretty much the same in those time, they still take money but not as open as old time day
This is what a person looks like when they’re totally out for themselves. And like most well known criminals he probably could have been successful in many other fields.
Gotta love this guy!!
Love you
Mikey!!
This had to be the most relatable interview for Vlad.
"I’m not doing life in fucking prison" hahahahahahaha
This dude needs to be in handcuffs just so his hands stop moving
He saved alot of lives if you ask me????????♂️ if I’m caught and have a option of felony drug charges vs robbery I think 95% of ppl would agree… probably took alot off reup ppl reup money forcing them to get a normal job and go straight ????
Another pos
I like how much fucks this guy doesn’t give???????????? he doesn’t care how he’s viewed at all and I can respect that shit
Has anybody realized in the movie joker with Joaquin Phoenix towards the end where he’s in the back of the police car and it gets smashed it says the 75 precinct on it pretty bizarre
By far one of your best interviews and episodes
"Guns just appear" lol yooooo wtf haha
Vlad is the worst interviewer of all time WOAT
The cameras changed everything ????????♂️
I never know which accent we’re going to get from Vlad until I hit play
reminds me a bit of Henry hill. a bit of a nutcase or he’s had a few lines
Dowd consistently looking off camera is a little bizarre. Someone must be giving him little cues when he goes a little too far
How many times will Vlad say nah-mean in this interview?
I mean think about all the people he kept out of prison by not arresting them. They were giving football numbers at that time
???? “ We just shift problems now “ ????
