IAWTP. Almost brings me to tears that someone who had to guts to stand up to corruption is treated like a black sheep. And he was only trying to do the right thing. |

Of course, Serpico doesn't really know what the culture in the NYPD is now. My impression (which could easily be wrong) is that it's much better than in 1971 but far from ideal. |

Judging by his claims of how he's still treated, I think he might have some justification there. There might not be outright theft and bribery, but that "us vs them regardless of the situation" is not healthy. |

I would think most cops who give him grief are long retired. What does a current 40 year old cop know of Serpico? He wasn't born when Serpico was shot. |

He and other "rats" remain well-known on the force as an example of what can happen if you snitch out your brothers. |
