John James Mulligan

Detective John Mulligan was shot and killed while working a private detail. He was shot five times in the face, execution style, as he sat in his car.

I recall the times when John Mulligan Intimidated me, Robbed me twice, and then he brought false charges against me for armed robbery twice. I was almost put in prison for 25 years to life, because I reported him to his superiors. He was a true corrupt cop that robbed prostitutes in china town, extorted money from drug dealers and he put plenty of innocent black men in prison during his rein.
How was he able to get away with such corrupt behaviour?
I guess he got a some street justice for all the crimes he committed against innocent people.
