Police gangs? That's the most dystopian thing I've heard of in a long time.

I'm 60. When I was a teenager my grandfather told me stories of his run-ins with the lasd when he was a teenager. Police gangs are nothing new.

I see. This is the first time I've heard of it. Middle class Norwegian here.

When you hear American leftists still want guns for some reason, this is why.
