We Own This City — Justin Fenton
NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • From the Pulitzer Prize–nominated reporter who exposed one of the most startling police corruption scandals in a generation, now an HBO series from The Wire creator David Simon and George Pelecanos.
In 2015, Baltimore erupted in riots following the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old Black man, while in police custody. Amid surging drug and violent crime, the city’s police department relied on Sergeant Wayne Jenkins and his elite Gun Trace Task Force to tackle the crisis. But instead of protecting citizens, Jenkins and his team exploited their authority, stealing cash, skimming from drug busts, planting fake evidence, and committing brazen crimes that went unchecked for years.
We Own This City draws on hundreds of interviews, thousands of court documents, and extensive video footage to reveal the full scope of the corruption. Fenton exposes wrongful convictions, the death of an innocent civilian, and the mysterious killing of a cop scheduled to testify against the unit. This is a riveting, definitive account of a rogue police unit, the city they terrorized, and the enduring struggle between law enforcement and the communities they are sworn to serve.
