From The Age of Treason blog:
The Age of Gangs
"The differences between black and Latino gangs are stark. And the black gang members I spoke with readily admit that the difference is fatal. Damien Hartfield, the former Bounty Hunter, explained, "Blacks do what they want. When Latinos go gangbanging they have a solid plan. Blacks don't go to war like that. It's spontaneous. Something just happens. Latinos make a call, make a plan. They have a structure."
LAPD Chief Bratton admits he is bewildered by how anarchic L.A.'s black gangs have become.
"African-American violence is totally out of proportion to their numbers," he said. "With Latinos, there is so much more family structure, while it's not as if blacks rally around the African-American community just because they are black. They associate more with their gang colors than they do with their own color as African-Americans. It's almost as if they lost identities as African-Americans."
