[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 139682, member: 2189"] Tie, Talk to folks from CACH. As for in our local area, oh yeah, they're here. One local hub is using off duty "armed" police officers as extra security. About 12 years ago I use to work the twi/mid sorts at that hub and we had this clown walking around with one shoe untied and the other pant leg rolled up just below his knee. I thought he was just the hub nit-wit (sure looked like one) but during peak we had an armed police officer working security. He and I were standing by the overhead walkway to the console when this clown walked by and I started laughing. The officer asked and I explained the humor to which he then explained the gang symbolism behind his appearance and then he assured me this cat was in that gang. He then went on to explain some of the graffitti that had started to appear in out restrooms especially in the basement by the breakroom and it's meaning of gangs marking their turf. Head coverings such as dew rags and caps are also used as gang symbols and the officer easily pointed out a number of them without me having to move one step from my location. This was over 12 yeas ago. My neighbor who is a homicide detective in one of our large metro jurisdictions is also very keen on gang activity and even in the building in which I work 10 minutes from the UPS Corp office I've seen many gang type symbolism and in all likelyhood, gang members. I was totally oblivious to all this stuff and like me you could just not know what you're looking at. Gangs aren't racial distinctive either so discussing them isn't an issue of race.
