The FBI Files

T02:C08 - S02:E08 - Shattered Shield

Corruption in the New Orleans Police Department grew like a cancer in the early 1990's. Lured by the easy wealth of the narcotics industry, crooked cops began breaking the laws they were sworn to uphold. They would stop at nothing, including murder, to protect their rackets. When it became clear they could no longer police themselves, the FBI got involved. Putting their lives on the line, undercover agents devised a way to flush out the violent cops and restore trust in the city's police force.
