Nice to know Serpico is still around. Should be everyone's hero because of his stand for the truth. The movie is good but the book by Peter Maas is better. Both are tense
I might actually have to read the book. I had read an article that mentioned his unselfish deeds and did a bit more reading on him and decided to post that.
Most of the time the book is better than the movie! I think that the people would respect the police a lot more if the bad cops, and I mean really bad cops were turned in by the better cops. The problem is according to their "job" there are no good cops. Did you click the link to the meme of Dr. Robert Higgs? Just curious. I think he explains it well. WE NEED PEACE OFFICERS, not "law enforcement" officers.

Thanks for reminding us about someone who stood up for what is right in contrast to all the cowards we see in America today.
Frank Serpico. A real life, live action hero. The Real Deal.
Didn't just play one on tv and film. He's Bruce Willis, Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris and Clint Eastwood all rolled into one
Thank you for honoring him on his latest Birthday with this great article.
Even Serpico's ancestral homeland of Italy wanted to claim their Favorite Son by giving him Italian citizenship complete with passport
I read that book years ago, it is better than the movie. Glad he is still around!
Great story CL.
