Yes, it's a phrase that came from Hillary. (Kudos for Hillary bashing in a discussion about US democracy.)
It was popular with the black community at the time. The number of dead were "of color" and usually black.
In case you don't have an idea of what exactly was happening, Hezbollah was destroying Beirut at the time. The number of dead in S Central sometimes equalled the number of dead in Beirut, sometimes exceeded it.
And the gangs of S Central were spreading across the country, courtesy of both Reagan granting immigrantion status to members of the Salvadoran death squads and the easy money that came with crack.
I am also aware that "LAPD is a gang" was the original "defund the police" and that while "Fuck The Police" is a popular rap lyric, the mothers of Ice T fans were the ones who sued LAPD for pulling out of S Central during the Rodeny King riots. Not for brutality, but for not providing police protection.
DO NOT come at me with a campaign mantra from 2016 and pretend that it wasn't distorted by presentism.
