Frank Serpico: I call it rats jumping off a sinking ship

Frank Serpico: I call it rats jumping off a sinking ship In a wide-ranging interview, the cop portrayed by Al Pacino in the eponymous movie discusses being shot 50 years ago, racism in the US following the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict, and his long career in and out of the blue uniform Frank Serpico, right, testifies before a police corruption hearing in 1971. Fri, 30 Apr, 2021 - 18:48 Michael Clifford Serpico is bleeding. He is in the back of a patrol car, eyes wide open, a man on the precipice of mortality. He has been shot in the face. A siren wails, windscreen wipers beat against a dirty New York night. He is being rushed to hospital. The rain buckets down, on the city, on Serpico’s life, on a career that began so brightly, on the tarnished reputation of the New York Police Department which he exposed as being riddled with corruption. So goes the opening scene of Serpico, the eponymous movie of Frank Serpico’s life in which Al Pacino played the whistleblower cop.

Line of duty legend who took on the MOB

The line of duty almost cost Frank Serpico his life. In February 1971 he and three other plain-clothes police colleagues went to an address in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, after being tipped off that a drug dealer was selling heroin there. As the only Spanish speaker, Serpico was assigned the hazardous task of pretending to be a junkie to persuade the Latino dealer and his cronies to let them in. As two other officers waited behind him, he knocked and said he d come to buy. The door opened a few inches, the chain still on, and Serpico wedged himself into the gap, pushing as he shouted to his colleagues to help him.

Daniel Berrigan and his fearless nonviolence, at 100

“One is called to live nonviolently,” Daniel Berrigan once wrote, “even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the United States around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better.” In some ways, that statement sums up the life and teachings of the legendary priest, author, poet and activist Daniel Berrigan, my friend and teacher who would turn 100 on May 9. The only way to survive in the world of violence, indeed, to live and thrive and even make a difference, he insisted, was through the daily life of creative nonviolence.
