I didn't do it to tarnish the badge or make cops look bad.

It was just the constant talk of money, money, money, and then seeing it as just a greed factor.

I was greedy.

This is death, sex, and money.

They don't get it.

I'm dead.

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot.

How often do you guys have sex?

I'm Anna Saylor.

In 1982, Ken Yerell was 20 years old and a rookie cop in New York City.

Almost immediately, because there was so on demand I was put in a patrol car.

It was a midnight tour.

I was putting him with a senior man.

He had probably had 10 years on a job.

And we drove down to a bodega.

He came out with a six-pack of beer, drove up to Highland Park, put his foot out the window, leaned back, had his beer, and told me, okay, kid, listen to the radio.

I'm going to take a nap.

Was there anybody who you sort of looked at and said, like, are we supposed to be doing this?

We didn't really say are we supposed to be doing this.

We just thought that's how things were done.
