In 1882, the New York City police force was deeply corrupt, engaging in bribery, extortion, and protection of criminal enterprises. Witnesses were often bribed or intimidated, leading to widespread perjury and a compromised justice system. The police also abused their power through arbitrary arrests, brutality, and political manipulation to maintain control and protect their interests.
