One of The Most Haunting Stories of Modern Day Police Corruption - Jared Fishman

In this gripping and emotionally charged conversation, author Jared Fishman and Judge Calvin Johnson unpack the horrifying case of Henry Glover in post-Katrina New Orleans and the federal investigation that exposed corruption, violence, and systemic failures inside the New Orleans Police Department. Fishman reflects on his journey from international conflict zones to the DOJ, revealing how war, race, policing, and power intersected in one of the most disturbing civil rights cases in modern American history. Together, they explore police cover-ups, the “blue wall” of silence, the moral cost of institutional corruption, and how the Henry Glover case ultimately helped force reforms inside the city’s police department.
