In the wake of the police shooting in Ceres earlier this year that led to the deaths of one officer and Andres Raya, a Marine who did not want to return to duty, Ceres and Modesto Police have begun conducting an agressive campaign against perceived latino gang members. This is being done supposedely to "help Latinos", and also under the pretext that gangs are "terrorists" Reports from various sources are now reporting that young people are being profiled and stopped simply for being Latino or wearing certain colors, being stopped at gun point, being verbally harassed and threatened by police, and also having lone police officers raid homes without provocation. Read reports here, here, and here. Raya flyer here.
