    I’d like to question your idea of “street gangs”. A lot of times these are just cocky groups of male friends who trust each other and are trying to get by in a harsh economy. But sure, every single one is violent and there aren’t any honorable people involved, ever. Literally the only dealer I’ve met that actually scared me mostly dealt meth (I was buyin’ weed) and I’m pretty sure he was a cop too

      All this to say it’s not a violent business unless you’re a idiot about it. It’s not like TV. People will undercut their prices long before they’ll cut throats.

      Cops, at least in the US, are also a violent street gang.

        Oh, absolutely. Understatement of the century, they are THE violent street gang. Just look up “40% of cops” or into their origins as slave catching patrols. They exist to keep the economy running by force, disperse protests, and make everyone fear homelessness. With even half of their budgets we could easily eliminate any incentive for crime in this country with better infrastructure.
