Nice, let's screw rural sheriffs.. The only ones fighting this massive influx of gangs in the rural areas. But then again, 99% of anonymous aren't in rural America so they have absolutely no idea how it actually is out here.

I live in Montana and even our biggest cities are small compared to the rest of the country. I'm not aware of any 'massive influx' of gangs here.

If you're a rural cop in need of funding, any brown guy will look like a Mexican cartel hit-man. You can see the same sentiment elsewhere; here in Australia there are horror stories of Sydney/Melbourne/OtherDenOfEvil gangs moving to the country side, going under-ground for decades as farmers/miners/GoodGuys(TM) and suddenly springing to action to kill innocent people & prize whining cattle.

They did a TV segment of a Bangladeshi dentist who evaded taxes. Yeah, a fucking tax evasion case made into a 60-minute segment of hard-hitting journalism. GTFO!

Every city has a gang problem. Most just will not admit it. You may not notice it, but go to a different part of town. You have it.

Even an estimated 2% of the US military are gang members. (this is how they get many of their weapons)

Sheriffs tend to be even worse than city police when it comes to abuses (e.g. see Sheriff Joe).

Let's not tar all Sheriffs with the same brush. Yes there are a few very visible cases of abuse, but the reason you can even say "Sheriff Joe" and have people know what you're taking about is that he is a very special case.
