What comes to mind when you hear the word GANG? Do you think something negative or positive? Well, this word around my way, when heard, and im sure others can relate, is associated to be negative. When i looked the word up, it meant "to assemble or operate simultaneously as a group b : to arrange in or produce as a gang." So, once again, what do you think about when you hear the word gang?

I think of clubs, programs, the white house, organizations and friends. I think of police. You know, when i was growing up, my mother used to say, when you need help go to the police but she never told me that when the black panthers were helping their community that the police wasn't on their side. The word gang isn't just for bloods, crips or latin kings, it is for the police; cops.

They are gangs also. They come together to commit acts against the community, against nature and by law they are deemed to be the protectors. They are supposed to be the GOOD GUYS. What kid wants to find out that the guy or woman with the badge brutally murdered some innocent person because of the color of their skin or because they are taking justice into their own hands?

I know i never wanted to find that out. Not all cops are bad but the ones i have seen in Dorchester who just pull aside minority youth who are minding their own business doesn't seem so fair. Why not pull aside the entire community and check their genitals for what? I don't know. Why don't they pull aside the chair man or the senator and rub on their backsides and say they are doing this routine check up because they FIT THE DESCRIPTION.

People, let's not be fooled by the GOOD GUY VS. BAD GUY fable. There is no difference between a gangster and the police. The only difference is that cops are protected by the law and gangsters are hunted by cops.
