We Own this City: Ep. 2: Whatever It Takes: When Policing Becomes Permission

Host Connie Morris examines Chapter Two, "Whatever It Takes," from We Own the City, unpacking how an outcome-driven mindset in policing—summed up as "the end justifies the means"—opened the door to misconduct in Baltimore's Gun Trace Task Force led by Wayne Jenkins.

The episode explores pressures to produce, the normalization of illegal stops, false reports, and stolen money, and asks whether results can ever justify violating rights and the law, closing with a moral reflection on the consequences of choosing outcomes over process.
