Please review the Mexican gang war video and look over the stop Houston gangs city website and discuss the following:
Do you think we should identify gangs in America as domestic terrorist organizations (allowing harsher penalties etc.)? Why or why not?
Do you think Houston is using gang situations in another country to create fear to obtain funding or resources to militarize Houston Police Department (night vision, drones, etc.)?
Do you feel that identifying gangs as terrorist organizations and militarizing the police department is the best course of action to combat the Houston gang problem? Why or why not? OR do you feel there are better ways to combat the gang problem than police enforcement?
