According to Raw Story an officer of the Mount Vernon police department turned whistle blower decided to do the right thing and took audio evidence over to the Gothamist and WNYC-FM that captured conversations between authorities in which they discuss not only framing innocent residents, but also beating them while collaborating with local drug dealers.
12-year department veteran Murashea Bovell had been fighting the good fight for years as a member of the Mount Vernon PD but knew it was all for not without having something “tangible.”
Though he’s already turned over the damning tapes over to Westchester District Attorney Anthony Scarpino, the 12-year veteran isn’t exactly sure how things will pan out given the history of police misconduct constantly getting overlooked or even forgiven in America.
“I’ve taken the proper steps, protocols, to let city leaders, police department leaders know what was happening,” Bovell said.
