> Police say they don’t have enough manpower to stop such street takeovers, which have been popularized by the “Fast & Furious” movie franchise. Residents are fed up.

you'd have to be a baby to take that seriously. cops are just lobbying for more money, "manpower." how old is "fast & furious?" 20 years? more?

Are you sure it's actually easy for police to stop illegal street races without starting dozens of high speed car cases? These street racers have fast cars, little regard for public safety, and no desire to let themselves be arrested. It doesn't seem so trivial to me, but you seem to think it's just a matter of police attitude.
