(CNN) -- A string of "brazen attempts" to kill members of a gang task force in Riverside, California, has led to a $200,000 reward for information.

Authorities hope the reward will encourage people to come forward with information related to three booby traps targeting members of the Hemet Gang Task Force, part of a countywide initiative dedicated to combating gang-related violence in Riverside.

"These brazen attempts to kill police officers in the line of duty are an outrage and even a form of urban terrorism. Our brave men and women in uniform put their lives on the line every day to keep our streets safe," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Thursday. "We urge anyone with information on the attacks to come forward immediately."

Seriously, we need to either 1) decriminalize marijuana and possibly other drugs or 2) prepare invasion plans for Mexico. It doesn't matter if we go after these gangs in California if the cartels in Mexico can keep replacing them.

Yes lets do something totally irresponsible to stop something totally crazy. The Mexican Drud Cartels have been able to move into California and set up growing operations for pot with near impunity because of a lack of control of our Border with Mexico.

The attitude of the Liberals who run Sanctuary Cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Fransisco, do nothing but add to the problems of law enforcement.

They encourage the growth of gang activities and create a general atmosphere conducive to lawlessness on the whole.

The City Councils and Mayors of these Cities should be brought up on charges of aiding and abetting criminals and there might be some prgress in shutting down some of the violence and drug trafficking.

Motorcycle gangs have in recent years been tied to the Mexican Drud Cartels as have your typical street gang, and the violence is coming here soon.

An estimated 6290 drug-related murders occurred in Mexico last year and are on track to beat that number this year.

It's liberal thinking, inaction, Sanctuary Cities, along with many social problems that run from poor parenting to the Teachers Unions controlling a school system that does not teach but only baby sits children who don't seem to learn much and fall prey to gands because they think it's the only option they have.

Legalizing pot may not be such a bad idea because no one in history ever O.D'd. on it but to go any further is a crazy idea.

This Country has lost it's way, and California is a prime example what is wrong and what happens when the touchy feely Liberals are allowed too run roughshod over the State and the Idiot Governors won't stand up to them.

WE THE PEOPLE need to say enough is enough and and demand decisive action from the White House on down to enforce the LAWS od the land and that includes the Border with Mexico.

The threat from the Drug Cartels is growing and has the potential to out strip the terror threat along the Border today.

We need more Sheriff Joe Arpaio's and people like San Diego County Sheriff candidate Jay La Suer who is cut from the same mold to do the job others are either unwilling or unable to do.

There needs to be laws that say that the minute a club is determined to be a gang they become criminals under RICO laws and membership alone is cause for jail time the same goes for street gangs.

House them in compounds in the desert like Sheriff Joe's famous Tent City and feed them green bologna.

That goes for gangs and illegals that are not deported on capture.

Too tough? Too bad! Think about the affect the Illegals are having, Phoenix, Arizona has become the kidnapping capital of America with over 370 cases last year alone most Drug Cartel related.

Screw the bad guys.

Well said. Ignoring crime only encourages more and worse crime.
 
Man, I read that wrong.. I had read it as booby.. aka breast traps.. :roll: must be the state of mind I am in :2wave:

But other than that.. reward should be higher and the people involved should be charged with terrorism.
 
Booby-trapping a police building is pretty insane
 
Brazen is the right word for it. Holy.
 
If only this wasn't all a direct result of prohibition, we'd be able to blame someone other than our politicians and the ****ing retards incapable of understanding that the demand for getting high is inelastic.
 
The police get pretty nasty and play by another set of rules when their own are attacked. These gangs ought to watch their backs...

I guess in the US yes. But in Mexico, there have been guys who have thrown grenades in police buildings or worse hit squads enter the building and kill the police chief and just leave without any police officer doing anything.

Exactly. I saw the shield, I know how that **** works.

Hey why don't you generalize a little bit and use this story as an opportunity to give a partisan rant? :roll:

Last I recall, since 1981 there has only been 8 years with a democratic president. Must be all those liberal republicans you're talking about.
