This is A LOT of research, and none of it surprises me. One thing that I'm not a fan of is that they are using imagery and slang associated with criminals, while operating with the legitimacy of the state. It comes across as someone who wanted to live a life of crime, without criminal consequences.
- ncmncm 5y agoThe police are just the biggest gang. They operate like criminal gangs because they recognize that way works. The only thing that does any good is independent civilian oversight, with teeth. Bodycams and dashcams required, with recordings held by the oversight board, and dismissal for turning them off. Disarming them while on patrol would be a useful intermediate step toward defunding.
- namelessoracle 5y agoIts actually becoming a larger problem than people might realize. More organized gangs sending people "inside" the system to get them intel and also make sure things go well overall for their people. It's especially a problem in corrections which has laxer standards and background checks where gangs will send people to be the guards that are in charge of their people. "Gang infilitrator" has started becoming a serious concern and something they look out for at police and correctional academies.
