The real Micky Cohen became a celebrity and died peacefully from old age
Only did a brief stint in jail, and came out with a much more successful and celebrated life.

Of course the real Mickey Cohen is nothing like the over-the-top portrayal of Mickey Cohen by Sean Penn. Nothing realistic about the film. Just not a very good movie. I would avoid watching.

Which makes this movie that much dumber. Not as dumb though as a professional ex boxer getting knocked out by a cop in a street fight.
Gangster Squad
Released: January 09, 2013
Synopsis:
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and — if he has his way — every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop… except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara and Jerry Wooters who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.
