Quote:Portland police will no longer maintain a database of suspected gang members, due to concerns that the vast majority of people with the gang label are racial minorities.
Starting Oct. 15, the Portland Police Bureau will end the 20-year practice of issuing gang member designations, which police say can lead to “unintended consequences” and a lifelong stigma even for those who have given up the gang lifestyle. Officials intend to notify the approximately 300 people on the gang list that the bureau will purge all records related to the designations, The Oregonian reported.
City officials and community activists had long urged the bureau to stop attaching the gang designation to criminal suspects, claiming the practice disproportionately impacted people of color.

It's called racial profiling and it's lazy police work.
Fit even You know better that this. Gangs are a known commodity in communities. Most White gang members ride Harley Davidsons and wear colors. Easy to spot and track.
Funny you should mention bikers. Here locally, we have had a number of shootings at bars involving biker gangs. Some of the one's who were shot were actually touted as heroes because they sometimes rallied for charitable organizations.
How are they any different than MS 13? I wonder if anyone would call them heroes if they were shot?
Of course, we know the real reason why.............
Because biker gangs look like this
And MS 13 looks like this................
