#1 Fast resolution to this problem; offer a reward for the name and/or address of any gang member.
Round 'em up, check for legality, and gun violations, search residences, deport illegals, schedule hearings for the rest.
Then, to establish control, infiltrate the area with plain clothes units and kick some ass when you find it, and take their sneakers.

#2 Oh come on, wxjames - surely setting up a youth center or a nighttime basketball tourney will solve this problem. Root causes and all . . .

#3 Street Gangs: the New Urban Insurgency

Military analysts have been predicting this for some time. MS-13's been doing the same, only with less swagger -- but they've assasinated a number of police already.

#4 I'm sure the police will be heavily criticized for "causing" the problem. The solution: France-like no-go areas for police. No Hispanics need feel threatened!

#5 Sounds like a conspiracy. Like RICO. Like federal time. Mamacita and mamá de bebé won't be trucking out to Idaho or Utah to see ya, Chico.
Now all they gotta do is go after them. Unfortunately that probably won't happen until after a Hartford cop gets shot.

#6 It's not just cops being targeted by gangs like MS13 - anybody is a potential victim. And in states like CT, you can't even defend yourself (legally) for the most part.
I no longer live up there, but if I did, I expect I'd be carrying concealed, permit or not. As the saying goes, 'Better judged by twelve than carried by six.'

#7 So, open borders crowd: Thus what ya had in mind?

The news headlines are replete with the consequences of unchecked illegal immigration, and until we build a real fence and give permission to border patrol to shoot, this sort of thing will only happen more frequently.

In the meantime, Police have guns. I suggest we let them use them.

#10 gang members are in the process of obtaining bulletproof vests

One word: Headshots.

Take no prisoners. These thugs want war? Let 'em have it.

#11 make possession of bullet-proof vests by documented gang members a path to Conspiracy to Murder a Peace Officer - death or life w/o parole.

#12 group of unidentified Hartford Police officers have sent a letter to the chief, assistant chief and deputy chiefs, alleging that they have been threatened by a city gang.

:) Union Tactics For the Win!

I've personally been threatened many times and even have pictures of me hanging...... LOL! Blackboard of course... get a damn grip. Some times whining police officers are just that.

#13 The officers said that the gang members, beginning in three months, "will blow up squad cars" and "shoot any officer who approaches them."

If this is a problem in Hartford, it needs to be dealt with--harshly.

#17 So, open borders crowd: Thus what ya had in mind?

The 'Hispanics' in Hartford are 98% Puerto Rican.

Fast resolution to this problem; offer a reward for the name and/or address of any gang member.
Round 'em up, check for legality, and gun violations, search residences, deport illegals, schedule hearings for the rest.

Won't happen. First, through either cultural pressure or fear of being shot, the 'Hispanic' community won't turn in gang members.

Second, "it's never Hartford's fault". When the schools system collapsed, the city and civic leaders blamed the suburbs. When the black community started ~~escaping~~ moving out to the near suburbs like Bloomfield, civic leaders blamed those blacks. The state police have in the past been called in to patrol city streets. The State is one of the biggest landlords in the city.

Third - Most gangbangers escape back to Puerto Rico before they're arrested. Rendition is damn near impossible; all the ganster has to do is enter through New York or New Jersey, and he's home.
