Rookie cops in high places...


Come on now a rookie state police right out of the academy thrown under cover in the South Boston mob? no way! They have no training for that! Costigan never even issued a ticket to anybody and he is Donnie Brasco?

It is really something the FBI does anyway but not some kid rookie.

Then we have Sullivan becoming a top guy in his unit. I do not think so.

They needed someone young with some connections in that part of the city. There was a reason for it.
