Police surveillance of young people's social media posts is used to create 'gang' narratives where they don't exist.

No more bullshit, no more half measures on this sort of shit. No more war on the people fought on the installment plan. If the IOF can't beat the Resistance in Gaza in a year of carpet bombing, no way a bunch of Keystone Kops should be able to defeat a nrighborhood's youth. The cops in the 'hood are an army of occupation.
On July 4 many years ago in DC, the cops tried ro run jumpouts. Soon though, one of them got a "quarter stick" firework at the base of his car's windshield. He desperately braked and swerved to tbrow it off. He managed to get rid of it before it blew, knowing he had no time to bail out of the car and would be wearing the windshield if it went off there. Right after that, the "jump outs" and all the rest of the cops disappeared from the block, we had no further trouble that night. We won, they lost.
