The rest of the nation needs to take note and start prosecuting

[Love-scripture]

Why now? Could it be 5mths until electrons?? Strange indeed!

RICO charges for all gangs throughout the U.S.

This is wonderful news thank you for your hard work! 💯

[sensay]

So let me get this correct.
The government knew of the criminal acts but waited a substantially long time to bring charges against the members of the gang?
Sounds to me if the police did their jobs they all would've been in prison years ago.
Sounds to me multiple agencies allowed this activity to continue for more than a year.
With that said these agencies should throw themselves in jail for conspiring with this gang in order to build a case 😂

Man, I don't want to be rude. I don't want to be a mean person when it comes down to Tampa. AP and king ate the only one who run in Tampa is a hell of a lot more going on and didn't want to comes out of Tampa. Thank God I don't live in Tampa anymore. I left Tampa in 2017. It's because of that the game have gotten more bigger and bigger. And they have taken over the Tampa area. It is, but it's not like wildfire. All I can say is you're the champion police department. God bless you all. I hope you can get them all.

This reminds me of the USA I grew up in where laws used to be enforced.

Dismantle AP but won't the LK's just fill the void???

[Mr.splatthat]

Y’all better get some councilors and other resources for these guys sons or watch the cycle just continue!

[nicklasschmltt]

10 years for these compounded crimes . Pffft. A cake walk. Sheesh

[Damnthatsyou]

Wow I’m from st Augustine and never realized this was going on down south

[susanswarts]

So impressive. Excellent report. The partnership is essential.

The shell cases doesn't prove the second shooting, that casing could of come from the Lk's (other gangs) gun. Unlikely but possible.Federal prosecution has a 99% conviction rate, so they're gone

Those gang bangers and murderers beat a lot of cases in Florida. For some reason they always get right back on the street and it takes a long time for them to solve cases. Look at Jacksonville

[wisdomsleuth]

I'm still waiting to see y'all do something about Matt gaetz

[Ancryptoh]

Ooof them Jacksonville boys needa take notes.

[grfxguru]

they need resources in these neighborhoods what do you think is going to happen with limited opportunities, , , , the biggest criminals where suits and ties

[kb]

How many fatherless sons are they planning on leaving behind

[thomashaley]

ATF good job, but You aren't doing anything about the Kings

[iamme]

This is remarkable work; thank you! 🇺🇸 🫡
I’m now wondering if these gangs were involved in the red light carjacking and ultimate murder of Latina young mom, Katherine, who was from South Florida. I always think about the parents, siblings, grandparents and family members of the victims and the criminals too. As a parent and grandparent, I cannot even fathom the heartbreak. 💔
