Are Gang Members Using Military Training?
CBS News has learned that military police have briefed local authorities in major cities, including New York, about the rising danger that gang members in the military could share their skills with gangs on the streets. That could include combat, logistics, and even emergency medical skills.
“We heard about it in other places,” Lott said. “We didn’t think Columbia, South Carolina would be a place where the military would have influence on our gangs, but we had it.”
