1980s. Old timey Crime Inc episode on gangsters and the violence they cause

1980s. In this stock television footage we have an episode of Crime Inc, beginning with FBI training and who J. Edgar Hoover’s enemies are.

“Suddenly, America was told thier country was overrun by bank robbers, kidnappers who would murder anyone who got in their way…”

Much archival footage is shown of gangster crimes and authorities responding to them. The FBI’s habit of putting the corpses of their slain enemies on display is discussed as well as other tactics involved in the fight with organized crime. While not speaking of the mafia directly this film talks about the real criminal world that was flourishing in America.

Some of the original audio in the early part of this segment has been modified.
