Baltimore Gangbanger to Toure: We Made Ties with ‘Political Officials’ in City (NewsBusters)

Bloods member Nikko Caldwell insisted in an interview with MSNBC's Toure that the gang's truce with their rivals the Crips would continue indefinitely because they have made the right ties with certain "political officials" in the city. The Cycle co-host completely dropped the ball after such a shocking admission, however, when he failed to ask Caldwell to name names. What's more, when Pastor Donte Hickman insisted that tapping the "natural power and influence" of gangs like the Bloods and the Crips was "the democratic way," Toure seemed completely unfazed.
