No, Don Cardi, as far as I know I wouldn`t but be sure I will never become a cop either.
I don`t agree about "easy life" and they are lazy, I think they work harder than anyone because as you have already said, they are in constant danger and they don`t know if they will finish the day(what about the cops or soldiers? what`s more, nobody has the life bought, everybody can have an accident with a car without being a gangster). I also think it is a mistake the gangster have wife and kids, if they found themself in that life(I never say they chose)they shouldn`t.
I still think there are worse people
