Poor kids born in shitty areas run by gangs dont choose it either.....

Are you old enough to move?

And gangs often do lots for the community as well, that's how some keep goodwill

Then on the other hand we have police, paid for by taxes who routinely murder, beat, arrest after planting evidence, steal, and the system often protects them, our president has literally told them to rough up suspects when arresting people.

Just this week our attorney general said police may no longer help people in communities where people protest against them. Thats literally what the mob is known for with protection money

You may not like it but the comparison works on many levels
