That time the United States Army took on the Crips

It’s 1989 and Sgt. Bill Foulk purchased a home in one of Tacoma’s worst neighborhoods. The street was home to one of the most notorious street gangs Washington has ever known, the hilltop street gang. Sgt Foulk and his neighbors witnessed numerous drug deals and illegal activities and reported this to authorities several times. But when that failed to garner a police response Sgt. Foulk had no problem confronting The Hilltop crips himself. They were tired of Sgt. Foulk’s threats, the Crips threatened and ambushed Sgt. Foulks' house but not before he invited some of his friends from the 2nd ranger battalion to his house for a BBQ and after 10 minutes and more than 300 rounds had been fired the Crips soon realized they were in a fight for their lives!!!!<br /><br />https://www.military.com/history/time-army-rangers-got-gunfight-crips-street-gang.html<br /><br />https://www.q13fox.com/news/army-ranger-veteran-remembers-defending-his-home-against-alleged-gang-attack-in-tacoma-shootout<br /><br />https://www.q13fox.com/news/tacoma-homicides-up-more-than-50-over-same-period-in-2021<br /><br />https://apnews.com/article/ecea5c7982345f184064facf5433330d<br /><br />https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/wa/tacoma/crime-rate-statistics<br /><br />https://sofrep.com/news/ranger-legends-ash-street-shootout/<br /><br />https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/dec/30/after-17-years-tacoma-police-chief-with-good-heart/<br /><br />https://www.southsoundtalk.com/2019/04/05/ranger-ash-street-shootout-remains-part-of-tacomas-gang-lore/<br /><br />https://nwgangs.proboards.com/thread/41/hilltop-crip-gang<br /><br />https://youtu.be/HxgJ8AnobGE<br /><br />https://www.army.mil/ranger/
