The NSW police have announced ‘Taskforce Falcon’. The 150 officer-force is dedicated to eradicating crimes linked to Sydney’s organized crime families.
This taskforce is in response to the two fatal shootings that occurred in Sydney this past week, including the death of plumber John Versace and key underworld figure Dawood Zakaria.
Despite being well-intentioned, it is a big ask for the police to eliminate each and everyone involved in Sydney’s organized crime.
