#1 According to the FBI, 33,000 violent street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs with about 1.4 million members are criminally active in the U.S. today (Actually 2011 stats; the numbers have been growing since 2009). Many are sophisticated and well organized; all use violence to control neighborhoods. Gangs are responsible for an average of 48 percent of violent crime in most jurisdictions, and up to 90 percent in others.

Things are not helped by Al Sharpton's protest march where the protesters chant: 'WHAT DO WE WANT? DEAD COPS!' What about arresting some of these people for inciting violence and riots?

#2 He says Proposition 47 has hit law enforcement hard, and says his officers are already seeing the results of the ballot initiative that reduced the penalties for certain offenses.

Can't keep 'em outta the country. Can't keep 'em in jail. Can't shoot 'em. WTF?

#3 Read long ago about a police district that kept the pictures of the usual offenders on a wall. Basically the same guys committed 99% of all of the crime. The cops knew them but had to let the criminals screw up before they could anything. When a large majority of the guys on the wall were arrested the town was peaceful, when a large number were out it was a war zone.

Yet we police as if everyone is a potential criminal and act as if prison will teach them a lesson. For a gang banger it teaches them solidarity with their gang (which keeps them alive inside) more than anything else.

I'm not sure what the answer is but I would push for bigger max security prisons so nearly everyone could be in solitary. No gangs, no shivs, no rapes, and no cable. You can get any book on a high school or college reading list.

#4 ...now there's a job we can 'farm out' to China. Sort of like the extraordinary rendition that seems to be in favor with either party. I'm sure the Chinese can beat domestic operations on cost (let alone the perps).

#5 BTW, we can thus revive an old phrase of "being Shanghaied".
