Fighting a gang is fighting a civil war.
'Normal' is a statistical average. There may be such a thing as a normal person, but I haven't met him yet.

Gang warfare
Large gangs cannot be effectively fought by police using normal, civil rights focused procedures. Large gangs are alternate governments, with their own laws, taxes, police, courts, intelligence, and military forces. They are insurgencies. They must be fought with heavy handed policing in conjunction with military force. Anything less is a waste of men, money, and time.

There's a reason the police can disperse crowds and riots have vastly different rules.
