    When you think about it, it's actually insane that this guy went undercover in a Mafia organisation. A time when they were at their peak and insanely ruthless. I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with one, let alone infiltrate them as an undercover cop. What they did to people who owed a little bit of dough was bad enough. Imagine them finding a cop. Palpitations just thinking about it.

      Dude. You think mafia guys are-or were-so stupid as to murder an FBI agent?
      Let’s be honest here. Logging and mining are far more dangerous occupations than law enforcement at all levels.
      A cop was ambushed, shot and killed not far from here last year by some crazed meth tweeker.
      Tragic? Absolutely. The young trooper left behind a wife and children.
      But it was national news, his funeral attended by governors, senators, thousands of cops.
      Today, the intentional killing of a cop is rare.
      It’s not 1929 Chicago, or 1875 in Tombstone.
      Let’s be honest.

The second-rate cash-ins and AI codswallop that are polluting RUclips currently will vanish into obscurity, but these wonderful BD docs will still be enjoyed 50, 100 years from now, when AI will perhaps be starting to catch up.

      Why can't no-one pronounce his name right. They're all saying 'Ruggerio'.
      I read the book, years ago, that's why I noticed they don't pronounce it correctly.

    The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.

    • @rickjames8317
      @rickjames8317 Месяц назад +1

      Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.

    Great stuff. Joe Pistone is a braver man than I’ll ever be. His infiltration of the Bonannos was a blessing in disguise for the family. While the other 4 family bosses went on the commission trial; the Bonannos went under the radar during the mid to late 80s because they were in such disarray and the Feds were busy chasing Gotti so by the early 90s they were back better than ever
