On September 25 the Fresno P D and CHP received a bunch of complaints about illegal street racing. A CHP officer made a stop on one of the cars, got out of his car and approached.
At that time a crowd started yelling and directed the driver to leave, shouting FUCK THE POLICE, WE RUN THE STREETS. The CHP officer attempted to pursue but the mob attacked his car, pounded on it and stood around the car to prevent the officer from pursuing. The incident was of course recorded on an internet video.
The mob eventually allowed the officer to drive away. I think that was damn nice of them.
The local constabulary has arrested three people in conjunction with this incident, including the original driver, Milton Rodriguez, 29. The other two arrestees are members of the Fresno Bulldogs, the major (mostly Hispanic) street gang in Fresno.
Several others have been identified in this incident and are being actively sought.

They were running the streets when I lived there in 2006. You didn't go to East and South of Downtown after sundown.
