You see how they talk about Bloods? Like they can't run a organized crime operation.

From Marc Agnifilo, the former head of the gang unit in the United States attorney’s office in New Jersey:

“No self-respecting mobster would want anything to do with the Bloods or Crips because those gangs are the antithesis of the Mafia,” he said. “The mob is concerned with making money over the long haul, trying to appear respectable. But the Bloods are concerned with projecting their status, so they’re all, ‘I’m going to shoot up the block and wear a red bandanna.’”

Yet Mr. Agnifilo said that when he had prosecuted both organized crime and street gang cases between 1998 and 2003, he frequently heard members of the Bloods speak of Mafia members and customs with admiration.

“The Blood guys love mobsters because they’re the old-school gangsters,” he said. “A lot of my Mafia informants in prison would complain that they couldn’t get away from the Bloods’ always following them and fawning over them.”
---------------
"I don't think the Luccheses in general would want to do business with the Bloods," he said. "I can't imagine that the Luccheses have declined to the point that they need the Bloods to make money."

-----------------------
Jerry Capeci, a journalist who has covered the New York crime families for decades, runs the Mafia Web site ganglandnews.com. He said that while he has never before heard of the mob working with gangs like the Bloods, he is not surprised.

"Gangsters are equal-opportunity criminals," he said. "They will team up with whomever they can in order to make a buck." Capeci said he does not believe the mob's willingness to work with gang members suggests desperation. "The Luccheses are weakened, but they are still a viable New York City crime family," he said. "They still kill people when they have to."

That's the former head of the "New Jersey gang unit". He probably don't know much about the mob as he thinks. The mob expert Jerry Capeci in the last two paragraphs said it best. At the end of the day, they'll work with whoever to make a buck.

Another interesting thing about that bust is the Boss of the family, Matthew Madonna, is the same guy who supplied Nicky Barnes back in the day:

WTF the story gets even deeper. It makes sense of the Mafia working with gangs, I assume some families are lacking in numbers so they'll use the "Gangsters" as a way to not lose men or get investigated by the authorities.

Just looking at some old documentaries, the mob was just as wild as anyone else back in the 80's and 90's. All out warfare, shootouts in the streets, innocent people killed, drug dealing. Scumbags. They always make it seem like they're just organized gentlemen criminals. They don't kill as much today only because they're quicker to rat.
