Jerry Brown and the Homeboys
There was Operation Ceasefire in Boston, and San Francisco had its “Target Specific Enforcement” and now Oakland mayor and California Attorney General candidate, Jerry Brown, together with Oakland Police Chief Wayne Tucker, have a similar strategy to ID Oakland’s “top 100” gangsters and tell them they’d better watch their collective steps---or else.
The good news is that only real trouble makers, not fringe wannabes, are targeted. The bad news, according to civil liberty and gang intervention groups, is that that law enforcement may or may not be accurately clued in as to which homeboys are the ones that really bear watching.
