When the '70s rolled around, members of the police narcotics squad were caught red-handed perpetrating nefarious deeds. This Northwest city, known best today for its punk rock and hipster comedies like \u003ci\u003ePortlandia,\u003c\/i\u003e was once overrun with corruption and foul play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRose City Vice\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a city where the cops are putting drugs back on the street, maybe even committing murder.
