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)
