They were just simply useless, it was like a match against gun and sword. The Mafias had way better gun than police’s tiny pistol. This is also the factor in rise of crime because the criminals can easily beat down police. ]]> 2023-02-15 14:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/miah1421/a3hjlch4sqzne8x9/wish/2483575993 Federal Governments lack of foresight shapera1537 https://padlet.com/miah1421/a3hjlch4sqzne8x9/wish/2483581155 From the get go the Government should have been making the rise of criminal activity in new criminal markets a priority.

This is something the government should have expected as America has experience in destabilizing foreign governments. They should have known if no one’s in charge there is anarchy. This is evident as once Capone was captured there was a race for control over the Chicago Mafia.]]> 2023-02-15 14:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/miah1421/a3hjlch4sqzne8x9/wish/2483596812
