Rev. Al Shaprton, the controversial civil rights leader-turned-broadcaster, was a confidential FBi informant for years and helped the feds put members of the Genovese and Gambino organized crime families behind bars, it was revealed Monday in a sensational exposé.

i like your plan so far, but it’s only half done.
when they are being put in there, tell them only the last one alive gets to leave the room.
Old Al will do anything for a few bucks.

I am under a certain impression that this article specifically outs Sharpton because he called people fags... also details of mob soldiers turned gay seem to be odd additions.
The article does imply he was caught in a drug deal and was flipped by the FBI.
However these task forces get blackmailed too. Note how Sharpton then went on TV blaspheming the police and changing the courts in the Brawley affair but the FBI could do nothing against this communist because they needed him.
Goes to show how tasks forces that do not go after fundamentals but perps only become lost in sauce of mass epidemics of crime culture while treating a single patient.
