I've heard about this database. I thought it was a necessary/beneficial thing to have.
Especially now with all the recent spate of shootings that seem to be... gang related.

On Tuesday morning, a coalition of anti-surveillance advocates and public defenders gathered in front of the NYPD’s Inspector General’s office to demand — once again — an investigation into cops’ gang database.

“DOI has an ongoing examination on the NYPD’s gang database, which began in 2018, and is now in its final stages,” said Diane Struzzi, a Department of Investigation spokesperson.

“This is an ongoing matter and DOI declines to provide further details at this time,” she added.

For years, legal groups and criminal justice activists have been seeking an end to the database — or at least add some transparency in its use.

At the Tuesday rally in Lower Manhattan, the Grassroots Advocates for Neighborhood Groups & Solutions (GANGS) coalition called for the end to what members characterized as the “digital stop-and-frisk” of Black and brown New Yorkers.

The NYPD’s Criminal Group Database is currently estimated to hold records on 17,500 to 42,000 New Yorkers, some as young as 13-years-old.

Nearly everyone in the database are people of color, then-NYPD Chief Dermot Shea said during a City Council hearing held in 2018, the year before he was appointed police commissioner. Many at the rally noted that white supremacists and mafia figures apparently are not in the database.

What better way to give the gangs more power.

Well let's have a serious discussion here. What is the actual point of keeping a gang database? All opinions welcome.

Toss it. Toss every law enforcement tool that the leftists decide is racist. Give in to them.

Lack of policing doesn't affect everyone. So who cares? Give it to them.

What are databases used for elsewhere? To keep data on known persons, items, etc. So when you come across a person or item you can cross reference and see if the person or item has connections to anything else of interest.

Bob was arrested for assault last night. Bob was Brought in and processed. Bob's name and alias' were run through a gang database of known gang members. Bob is someone police have been looking for in regards to past crimes/gang assaults/gang whatever. Now Bob has bigger problems.

Make sense or nah?

I know it wasn't a serious question anyway.
