Frank Serpico

(this is where i got the image off of http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/24/nyregion/24serpico.html?pagewanted=all) Frank Serpico was a cop a long time ago in the year 1959, he went from a probationary patrolman to a detective. They made a movie on him starting where he got shot and his fellow officers weren't there to get help for him so an old person in the apartment areas did. He has became deaf in his left ear and now a days he does lectures and travels in his camper. He is 73 years old up to this day. He is a very courageous man for standing up and saying there was corruption in the NYPD, and it took his courage to even go to the drug bust which his friends might have set up for him to get killed but it didn't work. He got the highest honor you can get for working in the police department which was the Medal of Honor. Frank still has nightmares from the day he got shot but still tries to help the cops as much as possible. (i got this information on both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Serpico and http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/24/nyregion/24serpico.html?pagewanted=all) I believe that when a cop gets shot down your suppose to call for help but luckily an elderly person did who actually cared. I see that it was hard for any cop to tell that the system was corrupted and to be honest if he didn't it would still be corrupted.
