Only white men. Not women, not any other race, not anybody who doesn't keep a big social circle because their brain can do things others can't. Instead that person is more likely to get lobotomized. Think about those things. It's not what I'd call the "good old days".

@@foxxx4321 You expect police to be the best of us, yet most police departments are underpaid, underequipped, under appreciated and understaffed. Many police officers live in poverty level, while many others cannot afford to live in the cities they protect. Compare U.S. police to the U.S. military. Did you know that since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, more police officers have been killed on the streets of America than military personnel from ALL COMBINED BRANCHES have been killed on the battlefields of Afghanistan. * Per US Department of Defense, FBI Uniform Crime Reports and Officer Down Summaries, and National Law Enforcement Memorial. Also, did you know the medical profession kills over 250,000 patients in America per year. And this statistic, per studies by JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, has been steady for decades. That’s OVER 1/4 MILLION PEOPLE....PER YEAR. OVER 2.5 MILLION people killed in the past 10 years. OVER 5 MILLION people killed in the past 20 years. And these numbers DO NOT include the millions and millions of babies killed by abortions. Regardless, those are Holocaust level numbers that would make ADOLF HITLER and the NAZI PARTY proud. Funny how no one demands doctors or nurses wear body cameras. The fact that none of you are upset over this proves you have selective outrage.

I’m from the Midwest in a pretty small town. But I want to add that there are corrupt bankers, doctors, sales reps, business directors, managers, supervisors and everything else. Those of you wanting to make a point that he’s a bottom dweller cop - he’s admitting it. He’s hurt people - and all of the people I listed hurt people. And are STILL HURTING THEM. This guy is telling us how easy it is to fall! Accept this guys story as a warning. Not all people are the kind that says no to “perks” of the job. It sucks. Welcome to earth. Appreciate his willingness to tell it - and entertain us at the same time. This is interesting and eye opening. Get off your high horse and listen to this guy tell you about his weakness and failures. And enjoy the ride.

Unfortunately the bad cop becoming a good talker is now a business model. "THEY" are all cashing in on it. I think it is time for an individual human to be human. Each person born before 1980 has an "old school" story to tell. Many men and women began telling their stories in the late 1980's and early 1990's as we woke up to the truth of our psych's. Then the 9/11 event happened and the feelings of humanity began to get lost in the developing artificial intelligence.

He came around in the end, and the fact that he's willing to put his entire life out there for people to judge takes some real balls. I doubt most would do that, disclosing all the terrible shit they've done and demons from their life. He didn't have to tell his story for your entertainment value. Your high horse mentality is insane.

Mike is the type of guy that if you are good with him its all good but he wont think twice to stab u in the back. I like his stories but as a human?? The farther the better, p.o.s. at its finest. One thing he did like a man was his 12 and a half years in prison....i think he didnt snitch on any other police man.

Lmao… I’m literally shocked how many people are unfamiliar with these guys. I guess it’s an NY specific personality? We lived on the Upper East Side. My parents always had friends over and Dad had a couple close friends who were just like this guy. My dad always called them the biggest bull-shitters he’d ever met even in front of them, but loved them like brothers. I can’t remember the phrase something about “looking you in the eye while…” with the other hand or behind your back? Crud don’t remember. He used to say guys like them were normally a dime a dozen but X or Y were worth a shiny silver dollar (their tales were mostly true and were honestly successful). They’d laugh and act all offended… but as I got older they’d warn me to never fall for a guy like themselves. I was a kid, but knew to believe their warnings. Heck can’t even tell you how many people had an uncle they rolled their eyes about but we kids flocked around to hear his stories. These guys learned this behavior from infancy and they are lovable. They’re crazy fun and entertaining to be around. Side note:Being charming is easy when you’re street smart and have authority. It’s not authentic, it’s charm, better yet it’s manipulative and a conn game. Not that they all were corrupt… but the ones that were, were frequently described by those who didn’t know about their activities as “great guys”.

I grew up in an organized crime neighborhood in Chicago, and the story so closely matches what I grew up with. My neighbors were 2/3 those in organized crime or the supporting industries for organized crime, attorneys, money launderers, and political fixers. I was being groomed to support organized crime, but it broke my heart to know what organized crime did for real. I separated myself and refused to associate with anyone in organized crime. I would not talk to the cops (because the cops were crooked). I knew what would happen to me. It is so sad to see how law enforcement protects the dirty cops so much. I know, because I saw how the money was laundered for those dirt cops ...including many Police Chiefs and so much of the Illinois State Police. How can a cop afford so many luxury goods and mansions ...based on their cop salary?

This was absolutely fascinating. The behaviors he described are extremely similar to addictive behavior; eerily so. He seemed to just be stuck in a cycle of greed, violence, drug abuse, paranoia, and utter destruction of his own life despite knowing it’s occurring. Can’t imagine the pain he caused, but his story was certainly worth sharing with the world.
