I took the oportunity a few years ago as part of a community outreach program by the police to ride along in a squad car one busy Saturday night in an economically depressed area of a large metropolitan neighborhood. Lots of different ethnicities living in the area, the entire spectrum actually, and all had their own gangs. We saw a kid wearing the pants that Louisiana wanted to outlaw, and one of the cops told me he loved seeing gang kids wearing pants like that. I asked him why and he said "Because they can't run."
