Gangs in Police Departments operate just like street gangs. The 2000 Boys made assaulting incarcerated men part of recruitment, with the report noting that “a deputy reportedly fractured the orbital bone of a non-combative inmate to ‘earn his ink.’”

Remember this?? The 18 yr old security guard working at the auto body shop who was shot in LA? Well the truth has finally come out and it was that cop's initiation into the deputy gang "The Executioners". They call it "Chasing Ink". https://twitter.com/el_tragon_de_LA/status/1274118743661047808?s=19
Sporting tattoos featuring Nazi imagery & AK-47s, members become inked after executing members of the public.
