Let's not get carried away with labeling the PD's as ALL bad apples. We need to single out those that are, and either get them OUT of law enforcement, or put them behind bars as thugs and criminals that they really are.

I understand that your post was probably being a bit sarcastic; but this nation is doing such a fine job of blowing up members of Al Qaeda, and tens to hundreds of innocent human beings, that we are actually multiplying the hatred and enemies of this nation and the west. The families and friends of those maimed and killed become the new Al Qaeda of tomorrow.

I'm afraid that if we lose sight of the few bad apples on the police force, and start to paint the entire police department of our large cities as "enemies of the people", we are going to be getting less protection and more anger and hatred than we want from the good police that are insulted by such claims.

It's the same as labeling TEACHERS as lazy, pathetic public employees who are only interested in getting a pay check, and could care less about educating our young. We all know, or should, that that type of label is only referring to a tiny handful, if any, of the teachers who struggle everyday to educate our children and comply with the worthless requirements to test and measure their success by a foolish test.

Of course you do.

Of course you do.

I can play childish games, too.

Who do far more good than bad - are there exceptions? Yes. Should they get a free pass? No.


You are the childish immature one - do you even live in this country?

Crawl back under your rock.

People that hate America should find another place to post their lies.

And what lies are you referring to?

You sound like Richard Nixon.

Perhaps this one's little too crazed for a man of his great sensitivity whom, you must remember, was no crook!

The "lies" part is baffling, as well as the assumption you support "the thugs." I'll bet it got a lot of double takes by people wondering if they missed something.

Strange, but I always associate the phrase "street gang" with adolescents.

the government is never going to stop the street gangs in this country

Just "cry havoc and loose the Drones of war"!

They don't seem to have the same urge to target the White Supremacists or anti government extremists. I gather brown skin is a factor.

MS-13 is insanely violent. What is happening in LA right now between the traditional African American gangs and MS-13 is all out war.

As others mentioned, going after leaders is not effective. We need to take away the income source.....drugs.

The hate groups you mentioned generally skirt the law, so it is tough to "target" them for arrest. They tend to have it all culminate in one hate-filled moment, which is tough to stop.

The origins of MS-13 are rooted in the diaspora of Salvadorans in the 1980s, as Ronald Reagan and the Congress spent $4 billion supporting murderous right-wing anti-communists against a popular leftist revolution there. Hundreds of thousands of Salvadorans fled, many of them ending up in Los Angeles, where they learned American street gang ways. And now, here we are.

That's my first thought.

this will be police choppers ,news choppers , swat teams , sheriff,s department and of course more news choppers .
