A Brooklyn-born kid — too short for LAPD — cracked a Godfather joke in his sheriff's interview and scored a perfect 100. That kid became Commander Ralph Ornelas of the LA County Sheriff's Department, serving 36 years and leading the largest gang takedown in U.S. history.

In this episode, host Marlon Marrache sits down with Ornelas to pull back the curtain on Internal Affairs — the most feared, most misunderstood unit in law enforcement.

They expose how investigations go wrong, why investigators overstep, and what nobody tells recruits before they hit the streets.

Raw. Real. No badge left unturned.
