I don't understand why we continue to give any of these people consideration for their problems as "victims" when they won't help in the prosecution of their rivals. I say, "Why should our police personnel bother about protecting them when they won't help the police make a case. Their actions put all of us in danger and our judges and court system continue to let them off the hook with lesser charges. This will never stop until our community arms itself and chases the gangsters out of the neighborhood in any way we can. Perhaps when a few of them get shot in the process, they will at least be punished for their actions. Meanwhile, our police need to get rid of their "sanctuary" mindset and dump the idea that they will get information from Hispanics in exchange for overlooking documentation problems. If we sent all of them home who have illegal documents, maybe this crime would be reduced to manageable levels.
