NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Organized crime on the Lower East Side? There's no one better to hear the stories from than Dennis O'Leary.
"I grew up with it and then fought against it and now I'm talking about it," said O'Leary, who grew up in an apartment building where he claims his neighbors, his friends' dads and then his buddies got involved in the "family business." "The guys I grew up with had like 200, 300 kills."
O'Leary spent eight years on the streets in the NYPD's Organized Crime and Narcotics units. The now-retired police officer gives tours of the streets he knows from both sides with history and food thrown in."
