A string of shootings in the area that left six injured were gang-related....you made that up

“The dust-up followed a contentious meeting in the Gum Springs neighborhood on July 9, during which Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said a string of shootings in the area that left six injured were gang-related. Roessler declined to name the gang involved, citing a police department policy of not giving gangs publicity. Police have said the men involved in one shooting are black.

At the meeting, Annan and other African Americans sharply questioned the idea that gangs were involved in the shootings, saying police across the country had mislabeled violence in minority communities as related to gangs. Annan also said racial profiling by police was a problem in the county and criticized police for connecting the violence to a local recording studio that caters to hip-hop artists. “We don’t need a surge of police,” Annan said. “We need a surge of resources.”
