      Yep, great example of a department with an extensive history of this is the LAPD Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which was the subject of this fifteen part long form investigation that was also made into a podcast

      And that’s just one example and one we know about

        Not that there aren’t gangs in the LAPD this investigation is specifically about the Los Angeles sheriff’s department.
