The vice mayor of a tiny Southern California city is under fire after appearing to call on street gangs to organize in the face of immigration sweeps by federal agents in Los Angeles.
Most of the gangs in and around LA are remnants of the Black Panther Party. After the BPP was undermined and killed off, splintered factions broke off trying to rebuild, but ended up descending more and more into crime. The original Crips were formed to protect themselves from cops and eventually these offshoots of the BPP, who (by the 1970s) had become little more than bandits.

Source? the crips formed during the decline of the BPP but not directly from remnants, bloods/piru formed in reaction to crips, surenos, nortenos, Asian boys, tiny rascals didn’t
Nazi lowriders, PEN1 really didn’t
A lot of these groups were effectively deputised into the local distribution arm of the CIA through people like Freeway Rick Ross
