An update, if anyone is interested, in May 2014 Rogerson, along with Glen McNamara (another bent cop) was charged with the murder of alleged drug dealer Jamie Gao. In January 2015, they pleaded not guilty. After the first trial was aborted because of legal technicalities a new trial kicked off in February 2016, and in June 2016 Rogerson and McNamara were found guilty of Gao's murder. Both were sentenced to life imprisonment and currently Rogerson, aged 80 and reportedly in fragile health, is serving his time in Sydney’s Long Bay jail.
When you lie often enough, you start believing your own bullshit. When asked questions, he always answers the same way, like it's from a script. He goes into so much detail and answers forever without taking a breath. When asked on an incident that doesn't suit him, he doesn't recall. He has all the answers otherwise and the traits of a very good liar
@@TheRojo387yeah he was evil and exceptionally predatory. He simply sounded and acted reasonable but he was very vicious and ruthless. He probably killed a lot more than 3 people. He would even shake down shops for trading on sunday and rough them up if they complained
All cops are trained to be very manipulative with their good cop/bad cop routine. They learn to become psychopath criminals. They learn to physically intimidate people while smiling, by getting loud, entering ones personal space and chaging the subject by lying about how mamy kids they have...thats how one cop did me in my own car after i said cops are the biggest criminals on the streets.
Just finished watching Blue Murder. Highly recommended. I knew good old Roger Rogerson was a bit crooked but actually now I'm thinking he's a vicious cold-blooded psychopath. Not for one second do I believe his nice guy facade in this interview. I mean this was in 2000 and 14 years later at the age of 73 he sets up a young naive Asian drug-dealer & murders him not because the kid got in his way, but purely to rip him off. Now that's cold-hearted. So he was directly responsible for 3 murders that we know of, and indirectly responsible for 7 others. Not to mention the dozens of other inexplicable disappearances on his watch that police linked him to but couldn't gather enough evidence. He was basically a cop serial killer. Chilling. And I haven't even touched on his extortion, bribery, drug dealing, intimidation & standover shit.
Not that it makes it any better, but there was a theory that because Gao was an informant with the Crime Commission, that may have had to do with why it happened. It may not have *just* been opportunistic greed (well...tbf, it's still opportunistic greed, really). But the Asians might have wanted him dead and somehow gotten Mcnamara and Rogerson to kill him. There's no proof, except that afak, he most probably *was* an informant. And there were Chinese guys who flew back to Hong Kong a few days after, they were in one of the cars, I think. So, it seems plausible, maybe. Dunno why they wouldn't just do it themselves though. But yeah, completely agree - to say he was a dirty cop is so far short of the mark it's laughable. He was the worst kind of criminal and he happened to have a badge as well.
Yeah he was a bad egg. He was also linked to the cia and drug smuggling from thailand and burma, he was linked to many many more killings than the mention and could very well be considered a serial killer. The chinese student was killed in the way he hkilled many others, he also would make dodgy safes at that metal fabrication business.. Well after leaving the police he employed criminals to do burglaries. Hed case the targets for them with the safes he sold. He was very much feared by criminals in sydney as a cold blooded killer and a sociopath
Of course the Dodger knows what happened to Flannery. He knows full well what happened to Huckstepp as well. Lets be clear though, Flannery was a maniacal menace and Lanfranchi was apparently not a whole lot more sedate than him. These weren't nice people that were put off. Rogerson did society a favour in respect to those two, even if only for his own benefit.
I totally agree with you on that one regards to rent a kill n Franchini Flannery was a total nut job and needed to be fixed, Warren was a scumbag heroin dealer and huckstep was taking care of by Arthur"Neddy"Smith.. otherwise I regard Rogerson as a lying 🐖 piece of shit
Lanfranchi shot the WESTPAC Bank Manager at Roselands during a robbery What got Roger into trouble was taking Flannery's children out on his boat whilst taking his own two daughters boating on a day out.
How can u even think that monster Rogerson has done one dam good thing in his life, the man was a police officer who would have set u up for something u had no part in if it help him in anyway way so i don't think u would have said that if u were one of his victims - The man was pure F'n evil mate. Actually it sounds like u talk about him as your hero 'The Dogger haha come -on-mate, the guy was more of a manes to society than any crook could ever be. #Period.
@@davechristian7543 Point #1 Buy a dictionary and learn the difference between Dam and Damn. Clear proof that even you make errors -- Errors and poor decisions of a different type, but errors non the less. And learn to write 'you; and not u Clearly, you are mentally lazy and your brain is not working at its best performance level - Everything in this world has 'duality' -- We are all capable of evil -- which is merely LIVE written in reverse -- Nothing in this world is perfect -- There have been many executioners in this world, many are paid by Governments and Kings -- and they think nothing of it -- Explain what form of Killer is a hero? Soldiers fro example are Paid Killers -- You would not know where the word 'Soldier' comes from or what it actually means - -- I know. I served in the military for 30 years serving three countries. And remember that between 1703 and 1967 The French fed a great number of heads into the Guillotine- Once it was created that machine had a huge appetite. The French Guillotine, and was known as 'The Maiden" It saddens me a great deal that Roger went down the track that he did, as I have known him and his entire family since 1969 --- This narrative telling the adventures of a somewhat unlikely hero has affected many people - more than anyone can realize. Could such an account happen again in the future --- It certainly could. It is what it is -- We cannot turn back time - each and every one of us, have to accept fate, be it good or bad.
@@andrew_koala2974 Ok, grammar nazi. It’s “nonetheless”, “it’s best”, and “, for example, “ just to name a few of your errors. Therefore, judge not lest tho be judged.
When George Balos (a one-time Liberal Party candidate for Sydney's Heffron electorate) was in Long Bay jail, his fellow inmate at the time was Arthur Neddy Smith, a close associate of Roger Rogerson. George Balos told me that Neddy Smith had a _mobile phone and a laptop computer_ in prison, something that no-one else in Long Bay jail had. It has also been said that Roger Rogerson controlled the drug supply into Parramatta Prison.
I guess thats why we have never herd a peep from any of them lol eh haha, wondering who visits him n were he actually is n if its in a special part of a prison were its more comfortably; wouldn't surprise me. #PureEvil;.
At 2:03 "What did you feel when you shot the person?" Pause "Well I didn't feel pleasure? WOW How illuminating that the first emotion he thought about, albeit dismissing it, was pleasure!
There is one thing lower than a crim and that's a crooked cop. And Roger is the crookedest of crooked cops. A cold blooded killer who hid behind a badge. Hope he gets his just desserts in prison.
It’s ironic that he speaks of being aware of electronic surveillance when that’s what brought him unstuck in the end. I find him to be appear credible but that is a testament to him being a very convincing liar and his experience as a detective giving evidence at trials no doubt is where he honed his skills.
That’s strange bc I think he comes across as a blatant liar. It’s like he almost wants you to know he’s lying and challenging you to prove it. He’s a huge egomaniac.
@@carolynm9638Yeah, like 3:01 I would think he was lying as well. The way he describes it, "the firearm was in his hand" *not* , pointed at me and that's why I shot him (what I was expecting him to say), but... "when he ended up in the gutter" like - yeah, because you fucken put it there after you shot him!! And just his whole demeanor and how he answers that... He's lying. And then this 6:37 It's not "I don't remember what happened", it's "I don't remember what evidence I gave...." hahaha.... If you tell the truth, you don't have to worry about constantly sticking to the story you told in evidence haha..... So obviously lying.
This man is the perfect example of a sociopath. He was clearly a horrible person and a dirty cop. I think his superiors and the system allowed him the leeway to execute his criminal activity. I hope he rots in jail.
8:17 onwards " and you don't take a step back" Roger proceeds to stare down the reporter with the most evil glare almost as if to say without speaking " I'm going to kill you if you ask another question like that "
On page 316 of Duncan McNabs' second book on Rogerson ("From decorated policeman to convicted criminal - the inside story of Roger Rogerson") he recounts what McNamara's barrister told the court (while the jury was not present). McNamara, through his barrister, claims that Rogerson told him about all of the shootings he was involved in, including having to shoot at Drury himself because Flannery fronted up on the night out of his head on coke and could not hold a gun straight or steady.
The other one they said Roger told McNamara was Roger was the only “friend” Flannery had left. He trusted Roger. Picked him up outside the Connaught after his car wouldn’t start, put 2 in his chest and dumped him out a few kms off Sydney heads. Said it was easy.
In a different time & a different place Sally could have been a world class model,that mouth wasn't full of plastic like almost every young girl today,she was natural,such a sad story.😔
All you people saying roger was a good man your entitle to your opinion . So iam entitled to mine . Roger was a corrupt cop from day one . Hes a evil person probably one of australias worse serial killers . Just because you have a badge doesnt give anyone the right to murder , He even took hit many times to kill another detective name Michael Drury who was a decent cop. He also killed a solicitor that was working for the crime commission . He killed Sally anne . Warren Lanfranchie . Remember frenchy was a young man . Then the asian guy he killed was 18. All his life rogerson set people up took slings . verballed innocent people . loaded evidence , falsified evidence, planted evidence on people . Killed many many more that no one knows about. Robbed drug dealers not just that robbed police stations that were minding drugs. Bashed prisoners many times . the bloke is a psychopath .. I got arrested once and i was innocent and he offered me a deal pay him 30 thousand and my problems will go away . I said NO , I ended up beating the charges, Another time when i was a little boy 12 years old i got arrested for being in school grounds for trespassing on a weekend , He hung me out the window of bankstown police station two stories high and threatened to drop me if i didnt admit i trespassed . I still wouldnt make a statement cause i done nothing wrong so he slapped me across the ear and busted my ear drum and my whole life ive been very deaf. the bloke is evil . He would steal money when he searched peoples houses . Is there anything he didnt do .
The woman who gave him a second chance was his last victim. I saw Rogerson walk through MRRC once first one straight through with his limp. He struck me as just some old guy. Not presence no respect. His true character open for everyone to see. Nobody won no one wins ever really and as for all those good cops the ones who wanted to change the world ? They always get the blowback from the bad ones. ...
and just because she was suffering from a disease ( drug-addiction ) how sad indeed, 'Yes he wasnt treating her wit not much dignity at all 'were she should have been treated more like a hero n would have been in this day n age wit wat she came out to Australia about on national TV, 60 minutes after all was a leading TV show at the time, so yep i totally agree wit u my-friend.
Sallie ann tried to have Rodgerson stopped by telling the truth about how he murdered warren but no one believed her until she was found dead after speaking out about rodger Rodgerson
He lives in my area I have seen him He used to drink at the Crown Pub . On the day the young Asian man was allegedly killed by Rogerson and another copper I was driving through padstow and there were tow buses stopped in front of me I could not go around them and had to wait until they moved in or moved away. A young Asuan asiabn man ran in front of my car and waved thankyou to me for stopping I had not stopped for him, this youg man also waved to someone in the direction the right of my car he also had a grey plastic bag and held that up at the same time. I did not realise until two days later that I had seen the young Asian man who was killed probably just 20 minutes later . It was him he had a distinct hair which hung in two downward peaks. I just observed him as my car could not go anywhere., til the buses moved. Rogerson
9 Years on highly amused at the Aarne Tees input into this docco. What a way with words, ex the notorious Armed Holdup Squad with Rogerson then his barrister.
Highly intelligent, I doubt it, the alleged police thug it's ironic that he ended falling victim himself to the criminals mantra, do whatever but don't get seen doing it.
@@Aran_chini Yes your correct I didn’t think anyone would notice that. The first few seconds of piano were “life on mars” and the last couple of seconds were “I did it my way”. Both have hidden meaning , I did it my way even more so.
ROGGIE, YOUR A LEGEND IN YOUR OWN MIND, IN YOUR OWN JAIL CELL😂😂, AND YES I TRUELY BELIEVE HE MURDERED, WARREN, SALLY, LIN, (NEARLY) DET MICHAEL, JAMIE, AND A FEW MORE IM SURE, HE HATED WARREN WITH A PASSION AS HE WAS MAKING MORE MONEY THEN ROGER IN THE BEGINNING THAT IS!!! AND TOOK ROGERS DRUGS !!! WHEN ROGER IS LIEING HE,S AS COOL AS A CUCUMBER , ILL GIVE HIM THAT😮😮😮 IF YOU HAD DRUGS TO SELL THEN THAT GIVES YOU MONEY AND POWER AND ROGER COULDNT LIVE WITHOUT EITHER ONE UNFORTUNATELY!!!
The public don't realise how things are on the street, people like flannery don't stop doing what they are doing, the public want guys like Chris flannery away but they don't understand the kinds of people that it takes to put guys like that away sometime to do good it takes some evil to get there, for the arverage joe they will never understand
What a lot of shot he was the most crocket cop ever was Sally boyfriend was not a bad gangster he did not have a gun with him Rogers on was always Evil he is in jail now for murder why are you even talking to this person he was to do with Sally
I get the job number. From that night then handed it on to familiy services or whatever they call em selves down here. Serious criminal tresspass. Lies. See I met them half way came down from the doorway and walked back. You went to the end of the drive to mèet them. At the bullshit castle. They entered your house.
