An incredible story of bravery and heroism fought along the Mafia corridors of power, using their own weapons...there should be a FBI medal called ' Joe Pistone'..
Actually, Joe Pistone didn't even get a salary increase or a higher position at the FBI. When everything ended, he went back to the same position and same salary. Joe put his life on the line for six years, his wife divorced him, and to a degree, looking at it from Agent Pistone's level it was a thankless assignment.
Joe Pistone, balls of steel. Could have been discovered and killed at any moment but kept going because he believed in the rule of law. The world needs more Joe Pistones.
Dude. You think mafia guys are-or were-so stupid as to murder an FBI agent? Let’s be honest here. Logging and mining are far more dangerous occupations than law enforcement at all levels. A cop was ambushed, shot and killed not far from here last year by some crazed meth tweeker. Tragic? Absolutely. The young trooper left behind a wife and children. But it was national news, his funeral attended by governors, senators, thousands of cops. Today, the intentional killing of a cop is rare. It’s not 1929 Chicago, or 1875 in Tombstone.

Donnie Brasco was my favorite movie for a long time! As a Girl, I was teased about my 2 favorite movies. The other movie was "Above The Law" Steven Seagal. These were 2 of the best movies ever!
@@jeffreyferris218 The Hunt for Red October was a great movie as well. I'm not a criminal or do I have any interest in that life but I think I've seen every Mafia movie since the late 70s.

No one can say that Sonny Black wasn't dedicated to the life that he chose to live. He followed that path right into that final meeting that he knew, without a shadow of a doubt was going to lead to his death. You have to respect that. Even if he was a criminal, and most certainly a murderer. The man walked willingly to his death for what he believed in.
Also, one of the reasons Joe Pistone was able to meld into the mafia as he did, was that he grew up around guys like this. It was natural for him. He was the perfect undercover guy at the right time.

My father and uncle used to hang out with Sonny Blacks son. His name is Sammy Nap. He just came home from doing 25yrs. He killed someone in the motion lounge after his father died.
Yes, but in the end, Lefty had higher scruples - refusing to betray his friends/associates. THINK ABOUT THAT!! What kind of CHARACTER (or lack thereof) is required to build an identity based ENTIRELY on a lie or series of lies, & then live your life clinging solely to that fabrication!! I'm not sure I admire that!!
When you think about it, it's actually insane that this guy went undercover in a Mafia organisation. A time when they were at their peak and insanely ruthless. I wouldn't even want to make eye contact with one, let alone infiltrate them as an undercover cop. What they did to people who owed a little bit of dough was bad enough. Imagine them finding a cop. Palpitations just thinking about it.
The thing that doesn't make any sense about this is the fact that the FBI didn't arrest Sonny Black when they told him his friend was an FBI agent but yet at 46:49 they arrested Lefty when they saw him saving his life. Very strange to say the least.
I’ve never seen the Movie, I knew of Donny Brasco as an under cover operative but no details. Glad I didn’t , this video is excellent. The whole atmosphere of Mafia life was alive in the narration and the testimonials . Good work gentlemen and ladies if applicable.

They literally didn't come back stronger. In fact, foreign mobsters have taken over. You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Beyond that, knowing the exact structure and chain of command was invaluable. Virtually thr entire syndicate in New York is gone thanks to the work Pistone did.

I remember Ruggiero when I was 7 yrs old hanging out by Patsy Pizzeria in Mulberry st. I would see him 3x a week I didn't know that this would be this big of a deal
Todays mafia is not the idiots you see making “real housewives of mafia members” shows. They’re quiet. Their leaders are not known anymore like they were back then. You’re super sleep if you never took a look around and realized everything they did is legal now. Forget all this “jewelry thief” BS. Monopolies in Construction, garbage, betting, real estate, multiple beauty salons etc are all legal ventures now. Walking around with their “mafia-ness” on like badges, the random public Knowing them, were all mistakes they do not make today. This was a very naive statement.
That was their protection though. They lived openly and in the public eye, anybody killing them would be taking a tremendous risk as they were so well known there would have been lots of witnesses around, people knew who they were, so getting them without anyone noticing would have very difficult. The mafia took such a battering with high profile cases and with use of the Rico laws, they had to go underground to survive. Would have been a lot of heat and exposure if such famous high profile mob guts like Henry or Pistone got whacked. Especially Joe Pistone as he was an agent and not some gangster, the FBI and all the relevant law enforcement agencies would have gone after the killers in a big way. Much safer for them to let it go, after all it's stuff from 40 years ago, like in Henry Hills case, as he said, everybody was dead or in jail, so who really cares that much about it nowadays, 40 years later? Who wants to take the risk of a life sentence to take revenge on guys that put people away ( who are now dead) 40 years ago? Just not worth it, better to stay low key and under the radar, the mob learned it's lesson after John Gotti went public and look where that got him
I could never be undercover and rat out the mob especially if I hung out with them for six years, I couldn’t do that job I would say fire me before I do that job.
Yeah sending people to jail who looked out for you, invited you into their homes for dinner, genuinely liked you and I'd assume they would have qualities you liked about them. I get that your undercover and there to do a job but I couldn't do it either

Joe Pistone smiling while he talks about the pigeon coups taking down and a guy he knew for 3+ years gets murdered. Pretty cold blooded, if you ask me.
Great stuff. Joe Pistone is a braver man than I’ll ever be. His infiltration of the Bonannos was a blessing in disguise for the family. While the other 4 family bosses went on the commission trial; the Bonannos went under the radar during the mid to late 80s because they were in such disarray and the Feds were busy chasing Gotti so by the early 90s they were back better than ever
We laud soldiers for a moment of extreme heroism. Where uncommon valor was common. Here is a guy that walked into the lions den for six years. He wasn't a two bit FBI guy raiding a pastors house or an ATF guy executing an airport executive. But a real man going up against real criminals. There's going to be some that disagree with my assessment of today's G-men. That's too bad. They destroyed their integrity themselves. I would've been proud of Joe Pistones FBI.
The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.
Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.
He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law
In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.

Yo era muy niño entonces, pero aún puedo recordar el ambiente enrarecido que se respiraba en las calles. Mi madre incluso dejó de llevarnos al parque a jugar, pues la tensión se podía cortar con un cuchillo. Los asesinatos aumentaron exponencialmente durante varios años. El vecindario, antaño muy cercano y familiar, empezó a tornarse peligroso. Todo el mundo sospechaba hasta de su sombra y fue ahí, cuando mis padres decidieron regresar a España... todo un acierto.
Moral of the story is..... you may think u big time in these streets they'll even let u get rich until the U.S. GOVERNMENT decides enough is enough yall doin too much it's time to go 😂
For six years he worked undercover and became close to Sunny. And all he cared about was the case he could've save Sunny knowing the out come but chose the case instead of friendship. I know this people where breaking the law but still officer has responsibility to save life's first

While the other 4 family bosses went on the commission trial; the Bonannos went under the radar during the mid to late 80s because they were in such disarray and the Feds were busy chasing Gotti so by the early 90s they were back better than ever
We laud soldiers for a moment of extreme heroism. Where uncommon valor was common. Here is a guy that walked into the lions den for six years. He wasn't a two bit FBI guy raiding a pastors house or an ATF guy executing an airport executive. But a real man going up against real criminals.
There's going to be some that disagree with my assessment of today's G-men. That's too bad. They destroyed their integrity themselves. I would've been proud of Joe Pistones FBI.
"When they send for you, you go in alive, you come out dead, and it's your best friend that does it!"
The strange thing about interviews with Joe Pistone, whom I don't doubt at all, is that the stories he tells in his interviews are different from the way he tells them in his book. Maybe he can talk more accurately after so many years.
Perhaps. Maybe he admits to, omits, or makes up details that suit the story that he's telling at the moment. In his line of work, he had to be a professional liar. I think that it's hard to discern the line between fact and fiction with anyone who participated in what he did.
He also has to make sure he doesn’t say any law that he broke. And we all know he definitely committed crime, how you running with mobsters for 6 years and never broke a law
In the book he was hanging out with the Jilly crew pretty long after the incident and he hit both Frankie and Patsy, Jilly was the only made guy in the crew.
I think he had a ghost writer for his book though I could be incorrect about that.
Exactly well noticed
Egal wie er war am Ende ist er eine Rate
Sonny should hv stayed in the bar
🤣👍🏾👍🏾
And as far as I'm concerned He Should Still Be There!!!
@@tonywilliams6584 @2_thumbs_baby • 😂😂😂 well said.
Sonny had respect for the fact he brought a "RAT" into the fam he took his death like a man!!! Know your roll jabronie!!! 😎
Those were the days . Middle class still stood a chance. .
If this story tells me anything else it speaks to how poweless the NY 5 families are that they never got to Pistone!
Why not subtitle in Romanian or in all dialects all your posts ?! It's a shame, you have interesting and good posts ,and you could have many more subscribers and visitors !!!
De ce ar trebui sa faca o traducere in romana¿ Româna este o limbă vorbită aproape exclusiv în românia și moldova
He was Don The jeweler not Don the scrap iron man

Está bueno el documental iré al baño y vuelvo
i liked the movie
Yo era muy niño entonces, pero aún puedo recordar el ambiente enrarecido que se respiraba en las calles. Mi madre incluso dejó de llevarnos al parque a jugar, pues la tensión se podía cortar con un cuchillo. Los asesinatos aumentaron exponencialmente durante varios años. El vecindario, antaño muy cercano y familiar, empezó a tornarse peligroso. Todo el mundo sospechaba hasta de su sombra y fue ahí, cuando mis padres decidieron regresar a España... todo un acierto.
Moral of the story is..... you may think u big time in these streets they'll even let u get rich until the U.S. GOVERNMENT decides enough is enough yall doin too much it's time to go 😂
100% FACTS!!!!
Refer to young THUG
imagine just being a barfly for 7 months and get paid doing it.
For six years he worked undercover and became close to Sunny. And all he cared about was the case he could've save Sunny knowing the out come but chose the case instead of friendship. I know this people where breaking the law but still officer has responsibility to save life's first
Sonny could have saved himself and become an informant he chose to face the consequences.
Du lourd très lourd puissant chefs d'œuvre absolu immense du génie ❤ c'est pas la nullité la puanteur d'aujourd'hui à vomir 👎👎👎. Dany 54 ans
great narrator
Anthony Hopkins narrating.
@@annabambus6572
No... it's another guy .
Imagine Sonny and Lefty thinking over every conversation and every move Branco made….. they probably wernt sleeping to well
Anthony Hopkins narrates. Perfection.
Is that him?
This is great, they should make a movie about it
There is a film. Johnny Depp as Donny P. and Al Pacino as Lefty R.
