The establishment, especially the cops, hate this guy.

Apparently they feel that he's sided with the minority communities over the police.

I dunno, seems like a decent guy, who knows anymore.

I doubt N.Y. City has improved since Serpico (however his name is spelled). Many reports and testimonies of the reality of that den of vipers. However in the cities defense I doubt they can hold a candle to Chicago.

Just curious. Is he a Democrat?
