Subject: Virginia Task Force Drops Gang Database After Complaints It Has Too Many Minorities In It


The Northern Virginia Regional Gang Task Force would stop using the GangNet database that catalogs thousands of gang members and gang-affiliated persons in the DC Metropolitan area over complaints that the database includes a ‘disproportionate number of minorities’.

According to the Washington Post, it will be the first law enforcement entity in the area that would stop using GangNet.
The database is widely used by more than 120 law enforcement agencies in the greater Washington, DC area that includes densely populated counties in both Maryland and Virginia. GangNet had been in use for about 10 years and has about 7,800 gang members in its database.

The database is used for intelligence purposes and can’t be used for the basis of probable cause to arrest someone.
Nonetheless, collecting the data about any crimes that may involve the ‘disproportional number of minorities’ appeared to be too much for the new neo-liberal era in the US.
It may soon appear that the entire concept of the ‘ethnic crime’ can appear to be banned in the US because it is not tolerant enough.

Good on Donnie BooBoo for tackling sentencing and recidivism. I hung out with a gang of white guys in high school. Trouble ensued. White privilege is no stranger to me.

Republicans- “Biden is racist because of Clinton era criminal leg and Harris was an over-aggressive prosecutor”

Also Republicans- “Dems are weak on crime and here’s an example...”

Also, please prove the joint law enforcement task force is part of the liberal movement.

Give it a few years. People of color will be screaming for more law enforcement and getting those thugs off the street. Just like they did in the late '80s and early '90s.

The pendulum swings.

Even more ironic given pendulum that the people of color will be screaming to get the Trump faithful into insane asylums as they are a danger to themselves and the public. Or at least throw some job applications at them to scare them away.

It will also get a lot of the bleach off the street.
