No, but the Bloods, Black Panthers, etc. all have 'affiliate offices' in both cities.

They're not peaceful tonight. Armored trucks are showing up to push back protesters.

Dang it... I’m gonna have to join the Twitter universe.

So who is doing the tear gas and flashbombs? Surely not the Black Highway Patrol guy and his team. He was doing good.
