The Other Chicago Mob is the untold story of organized crime in Chicago but not the "Organization" or Mob; the other Chicago Mob was the Police Department itself. Gary Cohen was a Chicago cop for twenty years and started as a brute and opportunist (part-time thief) and in the course of his career became something more.
Today he has decided that history deserves better than the cover-up that has existed for years; Gary breaks the code of silence and crosses the thin blue line. He details how the corruption worked.
The Other Chicago Mob tells the gripping story of the 1968 Democratic Convention told from the police lines and that the violence that week was no accident. Real police work is not black or white but many shades of gray.
In Chicago at that time it was not about a crooked cop, not about a crooked pair of cops or even a squad; back then it was the entire system, rotten to its core. Its leaders and most decorated members sent to jail and some of the highest ranking belonging to both the first and "other" Chicago Mob. The violence is real, the terror real but also it has humor and human interest.
