...gang members and then delivered on it," says Police Commissioner Paul Evans. A case in point is the Intervale Posse, for years one of the most vicious gangs in the city. Despite repeated warnings from state and federal authorities, Intervale continued to terrorize its Dorchester neighborhood. Cease-Fire struck at dawn last August, arresting 24 gang members; 15 were brought down with federal warrants. "They are the teeth of the whole thing," notes David Singletary, an officer with the Youth Violence Task Force, as he cruises Dorchester one night with his partner, Kenny Israel, talking to street kids.

...struck the match often enough. In May 1996 police forcibly subdued him when he was ranting "Fight the power!" in a busy intersection in Sherman Oaks, Calif.; a loaded gun was in his pocket. Last August he was arrested at Burbank Airport for carrying a loaded revolver.
