Well....they tied the hands of their own Officers by not letting them profile gang bangers in high crime areas. So guess now they will have the Feds step in and do their job for them.
Man NYC is a mess.

Yet another step, IMO, towards the push of the Feds taking over local law enforcement one day. One step at a time.

It'll never happen you may say, and I hope you're right...

 Nothing new. It happens when their is a gang problem out of control. Feds join up to pursue federal charges on the gang bangers to get them off the streets since most state courts are a joke. They won't be patrolling the streets more than likely the task force officers will be tagging along with certain murder and gang investigations so the case can be presented to the U.S. Attorney for prosecution.

I'm not disturbed that the feds are going after armed felons.  I'm concerned that there is a NEED for them to go after NYPD's game on NYPD's turf.  When the executive branch of government, of which the police are a part, disavows the police, fecal matter will occur - and is apparently occurring with great regularity. 

 

Live and learn, politicians. Live and learn.

I know that they used to go after the mafia that way but the mafia was comitting alot of federal crimes, I guess these hood gang bangers are getting pretty sophisticated. I would think NYC would have the police and resorces to combat these common thugs. What happened to the claim that NYC was a safe city now, are they going back to their old reputation?

Gangs have been involved in pretty sophisticated criminal activities for decades now, virtually all of the better-known and most of the lesser-known are engaged in mafia-like behavior, gangs are big business in the crime world.  RICO statutes and other similar Federal laws are often used to prosecute gangs and their individual members ...
