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.

Fighting a gang is fighting a civil war.

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

I reserve the right to remove egregiously profane or abusive comments, spam, and anything else that really annoys me. Feel free to agree or disagree, but let's keep this reasonably civil.
