Great episode! Corey's story is incredible and it was fun having Dallas back for one episode, hopefully he drops more occasionally in the future.

Very entertaining interview
Pegues seemed like a genuine dude. However, any person who supports stop-n-frisk without explaining how to avoid lowering the quality of life for non-criminals who happen to live in the same area, is being intellectually dishonest
If your conclusion is simply...well you've got to crack some eggs to make an omelette....then you are being dismissive and are contributing to the problem

Point well taken, thank you. And I hate that I developed a stuttering habit because of The Combat Jack Show.

No I meant stuttering only on the portion that was uncomfortable, which seemed to be when trying not to offend your non-black audience while trying to speak that truth, I did not notice other time

It's interesting that a former drug enforcer turned into a cop wants to pass judgement on Al Sharpton when he has done absolutely nothing but converse about the recent issues. I really enjoyed the interview but it was disgusting to hear someone who, from what I gathered from this interview, has had a damaging impact on the black community and did little to defuse the NYPD vs black community tension during his tenure in NYPD

I don't think Pegues mentioned Rev Al, it was the other interviewer being a lame
But I get your point and I agree. With all that damage he did while on the street, but when he was on the police, he was being on some "go along to get along" BS, that would make him a fukkboy

I want to give Pegues the benefit of the doubt in assuming that he did his part while being with the police because of how he said he have dealt with sketchy cops and his direct response to the Eric Garner case

The question still stands, has offending people and talking about conspiracies like Farrakhan made smart people not give a fukk about he has to say? Is it dumbing down black people which in turn leads to people not respecting what they have to say and on. We need smarter voices, but it seems as if no one wants to be the voice unless they are some loudmouth, youtube illuminati phd, religious people.. Who are only relevant cause they manage to get the support of so many people in (mostly) poverty stricken communities.

I believe that those reckless, loudmouth voices during the 50s and 60s didn't do shyt but make it harder for the sympathetic smart women and men who really were putting in work not just running their mouths to the masses.

If a person is worried about offending others while speaking the truth, then that person should fall back, play their position and leave it to others who are not

Speaking the truth on any subject, does not dumb people down. Trying to skew the truth and attempting to make it less harsh, dumbs down people

You can't have it both ways. You can't claim the need for a "smart voice" but then worried about offending people. That inconsistency in your suggested solution is learned behavior

The "smart" men/women of the 50s and 60s was putting in that work for integration at the expense of economical independence. Maybe come if some of those "loudmouths" and "reckless" folks "conspiracies" was heed, then maybe a balanced solution would've been achieved

It's called being realistic and playing the game, you may convey the same truth with different types of rhetoric and the outcome will be completely different. A lot of people like Farrakahn love to get love from the community, he loves "enlightening" people and make it sound like a revelation when the shyt he says is any elementary history/economics/political science book. He loves to attack groups instead of working with them and on. But does he really put in work? Does he change shyt? Getting bills passed? No he loves the attention but he's not doing shyt. Motherfukking Mark Zuckerberg does more.


You can scream and speak as much "truth" as you want, it ain't helping anyone. Why? Cause their voices ain't loud enough and their truth is subjective.

How are you "playing the game," when you are afraid of offending, thus you are simply advocating "go along, to get along" which is nothing new and is commonly used by black folks of various tax-brackets

How about you suggest something that hasn't been done? Something that will allow black men and women to grow a back bone and not feel the need to tip toe around other folks

You giving Mark Zuckerberg props, but he did not go along to get along with the W Twins, when he stole their . So what does that say about your inconsistent view of Zuckerberg

Looks like this interview got Pegues in trouble...
A retired police commander kept a stunning secret for more than two decades: Before joining the NYPD, he peddled crack, tried to murder a fellow drug dealer and was close pals with a notorious cop killer.

Corey Pegues — who collects a $135,000 tax-free line-of-duty disability pension for a back injury — revealed his sordid past on the “Combat Jack’’ podcast Aug. 13, in a blatant attempt to hype his yet-to-be-published book.

Pegues, 45, who retired in April 2013 after more than 20 years on the force, is untouchable because the statute of limitations has expired on his crimes, most of which he confessed to committing in his teens and 20s in Queens.

The former deputy inspector bragged that as a young gangbanger, he made enough money selling crack to buy 75 pairs of expensive sneakers as well as gold jewelry now worth some $30,000.

He chillingly admitted pulling the trigger twice on a rival drug dealer, saying the man would have been killed if the gun hadn’t misfired. “I was maybe like 17,’’ he told the interviewer. “I was like, ‘Yo, I’m going to murder him’ . . . It was all about street cred.’’

In his most shocking revelation, Pegues — who is married with children, including a daughter in the NYPD — bragged that he was a close pal of David McClary, the coldblooded triggerman who fired five shots into the head of rookie Officer Edward Byrne as the cop sat in a patrol car guarding the home of a witness in 1988.

He had advice for aspiring criminals: “The biggest asset I learned from the streets is don’t trust nobody. Everybody’s a threat. I don’t trust my mother,’’ he said in the interview. “You can’t trust nobody.”

The NYPD declined to comment. A senior police official, though, said, “I doubt any of it is true — but if it is, shame on him.”

Other cops had no doubts.

Rumors about Pegues’ gangsta past had circulated for years, including how he once sported a tattoo — “Thug’s Life” — on his neck that he had removed.

Any of his past crimes would have disqualified him from joining the NYPD, had those vetting his application been aware of them. But Pegues was able to sign up without a hitch.

He rose steadily in the ranks and became a deputy inspector who commanded the 67th Precinct in East Flatbush.

He also served as an adjunct professor at Monroe College in The Bronx, teaching criminal justice for more than four years, according to his LinkedIn résumé.

During the interview, Pegues boasted of his loyalty in the early 1980s to crack kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff.

McGriff, who ran the feared “Supreme Team,” was sentenced to life without parole following his 2007 Brooklyn federal court conviction for racketeering, drug trafficking, murder-for-hire and other crimes, records show.

What Pegues most feared was that his colleagues in the NYPD would learn about his friendship with a cop killer.

“You’re talking about the most infamous murder in the history of the Police Department with [Officer] Eddie Byrne, and I have to hide that relationship for 20-something years,” he said.

“If they [fellow cops] would have had any inclination that David McClary was my man . . . I probably would have had a hard time,’’ he said in a monumental understatement. “It would have been a problem.”

The president of Pegues’ union was outraged. “I was shocked and disgusted hearing the criminal conduct bragged about,” Roy Richter of the NYPD Captains Endowment Association told The Post. “If true, it is a complete betrayal of the oath and the sacrifice police officers make to society.”

Other cops took to The Rant, an Internet bulletin board popular with officers, to trash Pegues.

“This guy was promoted to deputy inspector and he openly admits to carrying an illegal firearm, selling drugs and even attempting homicide,’’ wrote one. “How embarrassing to the department.”

Curtis Sc00n was talking about it, he talked to the nikkas Corey claimed he knew and was around and they have no idea who he is. Curtis found out he's actually from HIS hood and he's never heard of him himself. He said the supreme team only had one block in his area. He said Corey might have been a juvenile delinquent at most.
