If one area is not willing to cut him in on the drug money, he sends in a gang to help "get rid" of them, or
cause chaos for their (turf) area. They say we will see a lot of real truth being leaked out to the public in movies,
and I see a lot in this show...!
A loooong time ago, I used to be a friend to an Officer in the Drug-Squad for the region of where I live.
The crew he belonged to used the same method in controlling crime families in an effort to maintain
peace and stifle any drug wars.
One gang-leader was actually so high with his wares that he rolled his car in a high-speed jaunt across
his patch and withing twelve hours, the Drug-Squad echelon had him patched-up, out of hospital and
a brand new car waiting for him in the car-park!
It's not a new idea!
