Why would it make sense for the Bloods to have an uprising against law-enforcement as a result of an intra-gang conflict? I would think that they would want to avoid shootouts with the police if they're fighting for control of their turf. I know the news link is legitimate but this sounds very urban legend-ish.
There is a bounty on the cops, kill a cop get $10K bring back his badge get more $$. There have been 4 shootings in the last couple of weeks.
"....this sounds very urban legend-ish."
Easy for you to say.
