ACAB all day every day. Rotten to the core.

I might be wrong, but I think that most Organized Crime syndicates would manage things differently if one of their own members reported to the Conigliere that someone in their crew was molesting kids.

I'm not an expert but the mafia is a minor hobby of mine and I think it would really depend on a couple things. The most important of which would be how much money that guy is bringing in and how much of a liability he might be. Organized crime is trying to lay low nowadays. Rest assured they are not honorable people. They'll kill children, women, Innocent people, etc.

Wow, that cop is fucking lucky the accuser had more patience and faith in the system than most parents after a monster goes after their children.

Cops who get paid to investigate cops when they cop. A system that works flawlessly works every time.

Just a reminder that how they portray internal affairs in TV shows where cops hate them is complete bullshit. They are all cops and generally have worked together for years. Most departments do not even have an actual internal affairs and it is just the higher ups reviewing complaints.

That’s an awful lot of words on a badge, while most officers are missing at least half of the traits.
