Elite Baltimore police unit robbed with impunity, sold guns and drugs, loaned guns and armor to civilians sent to commit robberies

The officers started off by robbing drug dealers, on the grounds that their victims would be unlikely to complain or be believed. They would do things like steal a suspected dealer’s housekeys during a traffic stop, then stage a home invasion and break into his safe, stealing half the contents before turning on their cameras to document the remainder, claiming it was the totality of what they’d seized.

Is there any city in America where cops don’t routinely rob drug dealers, illegal gambling rings and prostitutes?
