I guess alleged Dog Pound Gang Members have lost all civil rights...I don't agree with gang violence but I also don't agree with violation of constitutional rights. If 3 or more people are together & dressed alike meets DOJ criteria for an officer to DESIGNATE you as a gang member-whether you are or not-shouldn't Fresno PD and Fresno SO also have their civil rights revoked?
