Gangs target police.

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/25...-texas-police/

Only speculation at this time, although I understand it is happening to some degree in California.

Any thoughts as to how serious this is, or will become, and measures needed to effectively counter it should it become more widespread?

I heard about it in California. Don't know about the Texas thing- sounds like a Mexican Gang. But in California it's just American Citizens taking up arms to overthrow a repressive government bent on enforcing laws they don't agree with. Oh, sorry, that's the Tea Party. Well, six of one...

Hi Ed, noticed you've been laying kind of low.

BTW, you're off of your game, you forgot the required cheap shots at Palin and Faux.

Those folks lay it on the line daily (sorry for the cliche'). I would hope that the citizens would help by providing as much information as they have. If it becomes more serious, I would think it would be appropriate to enlist the assistance of the Texas Nat'l Guard. Don't know if Chuck Norris would be of any help here or not.

Notice I am trying not to suggest that they should seek assistance from the feds, except perhaps the FBI. I would expect the FBI in any city to have an interest in gang activity, which is essentially organized crime.

I do take seriously the threat to the police officers, but I can't help wondering whether FBI officers are eligible for membership in the Oath Keepers.

Regards,

D-Ray

Ed is to busy running to post, unless he can post from his iphone while he's running. Good luck in the next run, Ed.

I'll fill in here. Caribou Barbie isn't interested in going after anyone unless they are a democrat in a vulnerable district. The dems are worse than any gang hooligans. The gangs just cause local problems. The dems are going to deprive us all of democracy. She has those guys in the cross hairs.

Did you see the photos of her with McCain? She looked like she was ready to hook up with a motorcycle gang, what with all of those zippers on her jacket. I can just see her pulling up on a chopper at the next tea party.

Regards,

D-Ray

Nothing that can't be cured with a couple of Predators and some Hellfire missiles. Until we start taking these people out they won't get the message. Also legalize drugs and then they are out of business. If people want to fry their brains on drugs that's just Darwinism in action.

You know Rob, you're beginning to sound just like the redneck farmers around here. They were saying the only way to stop it (drug problem) was to take the money out of it. 30 years ago.

The bad thing about these gangs are once they become entrenched, they're almost impossible to get rid of. Look at what's happening in Mexico now, not to mention what happened in Columbia.
