I never understood why he made Tommy his underboss... well I do but it was the dumbest move he could make. Did he think he could dictate and hope people would just roll over?

I remember the Sammy interview and Paul praised the cops in a meeting saying "you know who the real tough guys are, the cops, they go on domestic and disturbance calls, they never know what they are going to run into" and then DeMeo said "well if he likes the cops so much maybe he should tell them do the hits"

I believe people tolerated him because obviously he was the boss but also out of respect for Carlo
