Someone clued us into this BIS/DOC Bulletin circulating on the Department intranet. For those interested in looking it up, it's Bulletin #2011-OSA-069. We won't reproduce it here as it's labeled Law Enforcement Sensitive.
The background - The four corner hustlers are having some internal problems after two "street tax" collectors were gunned down in 011. The "BFM" faction is looking for revenge.
Here's the interesting part:
The background - The four corner hustlers are having some internal problems after two "street tax" collectors were gunned down in 011. The "BFM" faction is looking for revenge.
Here's the interesting part:
- "Intelligence indicates [faction leader] is seeking revenge and that several BFM's are armed and riding five to six deep in two vehicles: a late model Green Dodge Caravan with red tape across the back of the vehicle, and an old "beater" black Chevy Blazer.
The BFM's are reportedly young black males, 15-16 years of age, who are extremely aggressive and blindly follow the orders of [faction leader]. If these offenders flee the police, they will most likely flee back to the home of [faction leader] at XXXX N. Harding."
Sound familiar? Sound like any place you'd want to live? Concealed Carry is banned and the hoops to jump through for a home weapon border on onerous. Wildings and flash mobs are the order of the day in the formerly "nice" parts of town. Almost the entire Department is held down at school dismissal times across the city. And the politicos are abetting a war against a shrinking and increasingly frustrated middle class.
Detroit would actually be a step up from what Chicago is devolving into.
