SAPD police detectives conducting proactive enforcement, detained an identified gang member this morning, according to the SAPD’s Twitter account.
The police officers and arrested him in possession of a firearm with an extended high capacity magazine, as seen in the picture above.
The SAPD’s gang unit has been working hard of late and has had success arresting armed gangbangers!
The gangbangers don’t seem to realize that the police have some time on their hands with most of the city shut down due to the ongoing pandemic.
This is a bad time for these gangbangers to end up in prison as the Coronavirus has taken hold in many prisons nationwide. Misdemeanor sentences could end up being death sentences…

Once again our idiotic local gangbangers are still out causing trouble instead of following the County’s health directives during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
How many relatives of the gangbangers will get sick and die because the moronic gangbangers don’t have the sense to stay home and be safe?
Of course it speaks for itself that they had meth on them. Here is what meth can do to you:
The effects of meth can impact several crucial organ systems and cause long-term harm to the body, and the sharing of needles sometimes used for the injection of meth presents even greater dangers. Meth users face an elevated risk of heart disease, stroke, liver damage, immune suppression, and even Parkinson’s disease, and these conditions can be potentially fatal. Make no mistake: Chronic meth abuse can have a permanent impact on a person’s health, even after quitting.
And here is a reminder of what meth does to your face…
Last night SAPD police officers seized a firearm following a shooting in progress from suspected gang members who were arrested, as reported on Twitter.
The SAPD did not reveal where the shooting took place nor how many suspects were arrested. The suspects were also not identified.
Apparently the local gangs are not following the COVID-19 health orders. It is hard to believe but while so many people are suffering the gangbangers are still breaking the law as they usually do.
Unfortunately by not isolating themselves these gangbangers could bring the deadly disease home to their families.
