I think that's the best one yet!

"if you see the police go after the gangs, that means they’re hiding the fact that they can’t catch nobody else."

Wow, that is SO true! And it totally explains why, pre-Fred, for about all of '06 and the first 2/3rds of '07, there was one BS "gang summit" and "gang database" and "gang committee" after another!
(I'd have linked to the Sun story above, but guess what?)

... and we haven't heard word one about "gangs" since we got an functional police commissioner!
