[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Friday afternoon/evening there was a large police presence in Mt. Pleasant at Irving and Mt. Pleasant St.

Turns out two rivals gangs were going to have a turf war.  Sanctuary Cities is one thing but allowing our streets to be turned into the Killing Fields is wrong.
Many people come here from Central and South America to escape this type of violence only to discover that the law enforcement has been neutered by local politicians all
in the name of votes and political correctness.

Mexico is on pace for 30K murders this year.  I have nothing against law abiding people coming to America and I want a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented citizens but if you 
get involved in illegal activities that's wrong and telling our police that they can't make arrests in these cases is insane.  [/quote]

So many wrong statements.

Law enforcement hasn't been neutered.  Police often say that sanctuary policies (meaning that local police do not participate in immigration enforcement, including asking people about their immigration status)[b] *helps* them do their job[/b], because witnesses and victims are more willing to cooperate with the police if they don't fear being deported.  And no sanctuary policy in the country prevents the police from arresting someone engaged in a violent crime, regardless of their immigration status.  No one--absolutely no one--is preventing police from making arrests.

Also, you have NO idea whether the members of the gangs were illegal or legal immigrants, or American citizens.

So, there was a potentially dangerous situation in MtP, the police observed it and neutralized it, apparently without needing to resort to the use of force.  Kudos to the cops for defusing a tense situation and keeping residents safe.
