I grew up hating cops. My father was Sonny Franzese, underboss of the Colombo family, and I spent my whole life on the opposite side of the badge. So when I sat down with Kevin Donaldson — a New Jersey cop who got shot on the job and came home a different man — we got into something most people never see: what that life really does to you. The mob and the badge look like opposite worlds, but the dark truth is what they have in common. The trauma. The things you can’t unsee. The hidden cost nobody warns you about. Kevin will tell you what cops carry that they never talk about, why he says it’s worse than anything I witnessed on the street, and how a man comes back from the edge. Two opposite sides of crime. One conversation. This one stayed with me. Salud.
