I can't understand why cops and the FBI get such aggravation from some people. Sure there are a few bad eggs (like Pantaleo) but you can't paint them all with the same broad strokes.

The crucial thing is there is a rogue element in every profession; be it the priesthood, the police, lawyers; but the mobsters? All of them are scumbags. There ain't no ifs ands or buts about it. They are a blight on Italian-Americans.

I was watching a documentary (can't remember which one) with Bruce Mouw talking on it and he was legitimately getting emotional talking about the high regard the likes of John Gotti were held in, and the way some people glorify and romanticise him/the likes of him. He was really sincere and genuine. It struck a nerve.
