The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on May 21 and was captured on video, showing the officers exchanging blows and shoves. One of them, visibly agitated, used her radio to request the presence of a supervisor, warning that “I need a supervisor here… immediately before I beat this girl up.”
I mean, to some extent that’s exactly what gangs are.
I mean it varies from place to place, but often gangs are semi organized groups of people with the primary goals of protecting their territory and funding their operations. Often their territory is otherwise underserved by police protection, so taking personal action feels necessary.
