always a fun time with the fellas!

I can 100% appreciate the fact that you take it on the chin, and accept consequences of your actions. It's imperative people (all people, not just those in power) take responsibility for their actions; it's the only way to grow as a person and continue to improve the quality of the server. Ultimately I'm using the footage to show that we are all human, and some times we may break the mold for a few seconds at a time; being crucified over it in a non constructive way, I fear doesn't necessarily combat the problem.

Some fight club action at the one of our mansions. Speaking with a prospect about his potential future within the Los Zetas organization. Some R&R at the mansion.

That definition elaborates 'dishonest conduct by someone in power'. Synonymously it mentions; misconduct and lawbreaking. I believe both are displayed in said video, my friend.

You're saying that behavior wouldn't be considered corrupt? I'm a bit confused.

How on earth could you not see that as relevant to the thread? We're literally talking about officers that don't really play by the rules. What?

I also think it's pretty comical you try and needle me with the whole 'basic' knowledge thing, when your crew participates in activities like such; solid police work.

How is a police officer directly threatening my life when I've done nothing wrong? I'm pretty sure you have to abide by the law. Again, never walked towards you guys. I stood on top of a car, typing mostly in /b, and making sure my people didn't shoot at anyone. Also, was only held at gunpoint by one officer before leaving the scene so the whole 'also' thing, isn't a thing. How is a warning shot merited at any point in this situation? This is just silly in itself. You told me via PM to stop ignoring fearRP, in which I replied I don't feel I would be scared. I'm well aware of how the rule works, I have been robbed many times, and went to jail in full compliance with the officers. If you truly believe everyone should be shaking in their boots over this situation, I think you're duly mistaken; this situation doesn't even really make sense at it's core past you guys coming and bagging the one guy with an AK, outside of private property.

It wasn't a crowd control situation, because you couldn't control the crowd due to a lack of showing by the police. You can't be upset at the situation for what it was; the shots only took place because of how long you lingered and tried to flex power. You got the guy, almost instantly yet you still wanted to go from person to person. (this is generalized at the officers involved)

I didn't walk towards you, i stood on top of a car. I wasn't in a position to stab you, nor even see the back of you. I just don't feel I would be fearful; if you think that's me admitting to breaking fearRP, by all means; but my emotion due to your blatant lack of disregard to the situation clearly superseded my 'fear' trigger at that time. You're not allowed to bring patrol units to a scene, to enforce the street laws and maintain crowd control?

I never mentioned running a gopro, nor would I comply with questionable unlawful acts; you had no right to put a carbine in my face, or ask me to get on the ground in the first place so why would I fear for my life there? I exercised my rights, and if you guys had a true reason to 'bully' me into submission you would have, versus me walking away from the scene without even being questioned. You don't need 20-30 police to combat that, but there were numerous officers on at the time, but you guys rolled in with the cowboy squad, without any backup. There were clearly a larger police force present as they arrived after many people had been shot.

Very convenient of me to not include information that I wasn't privy to? Good one. In fact, I edited it to reflect said accident after speaking to Nate, directly.

Wouldn't you guys barging into a place of 45ish people, most of which are armed be considered a lack of fearRP? I'm not sure a team of four SWAT members would be able to overpower a a party of such magnitude, even if we weren't armed; we could physically just disarm you with such a large showing, no? Also, numerous people that were shot never drew a weapon, what grounds did the officers have to shoot them?

The officers on scene told me they were only there for one person, and no one else was taken away for drugs, nor heavy weaponry. That also doesn't excuse the way the 'raid' was executed.

Man is shot, as soon as police show up by a sniper rifle; they are there for the man that may have been shot on accident? yet they still try and detain everyone on the street; fail to read rights, fail to provide a warrant to step on our property when the man they are there for is not within the private area of the property. If you guys believe this is the way things should work on PD, I must challenge your beliefs. https://streamable.com/egej9 you can hear in the start of the video, I am fully ready to comply. you can also see one of my 'security' shouting (text) everyone to the back so there are no issues with PD, yet you still tried to storm all of us.

Fantastic group, always a pleasure to interact with this crew!

big +1

solid group of fellas, happy to see the post!

fairly intuitive suggestion; current system allows for labs to be destroyed for several hours at a time, leaving criminal activities severely lacking in this downtime of no turfs. system would allow for a group of people to rebuild said lab; maybe scaling on the number of people involved?

+1

+1 seems reasonable enough.

Was a fun time!

+1. Concept is very solid

Osiel Guillen, the original founder of Los Zetas, established the Mexican criminal syndicate out of Nuevo Laredo. “Los Zetas” (or in translation, “The Z’s”) didn’t have too difficult of a time nor did it take too long for them to become one of the most dangerous and profitable organizations to ever exist, rivaling even the notorious Gulf Cartel. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, their influence began to spread into neighboring American regions, eventually reaching Los Santos where the Cartel raised the bar on illicit activities such as protection rackets, assassinations, extortion, kidnappings and the most common: drug trafficking. In more recent times however, Los Zetas had become fragmented and their influence diminished. Connections to Los Zetas would still appear but none strong enough to make a real impact on the city itself which was plagued with its own rough issues. Rival gangs already owned the streets which had no order, no organization, or any sort of sense to them. It was kill or be killed, live free and unorganized or die trying. The crime rate soared, the police were under siege, and there seemed to be no end to the mindless, pointless bloodshed in sight...but a young man named Jay Gamble had the resolve to change all of that. Similarly to the foundation of the original gang, Gamble found himself in an organization with no true vision, struggling to keep his fellow friends and allies organized and stable. In the midst of a war for territory between the original Clowns, Bratva and Shadow Cartel, Jay sought out Shotty Johnson, another man tired of the way things were going and the two set out to make a real difference. After leaving their previous organization, the two of them walked straight into enemy territory and approached those whom they once fought against in order to settle previous scores in attempts to heal old wounds and patch up newer ones. They both entered the lion’s den, the very real and very heart-pounding possibility that they may not make it out alive, a constant forethought in their minds. Though they expected to be met with hostility and violence, the unexpected happened. Rather than simply settling previous issues, the two were given a history lesson and the blessings of the ‘soon to be’ Council, giving them the opportunity to create their own brand and thrive in Los Santos. The Council saw potential and it wouldn’t be wasted, for little did they know that The Council had just paved the way for a small hand picked crew of individuals to create one of the grandest and most notorious criminal organizations to ever hold dominion over the city. In the days that followed, the two sought out a powerful core team, starting with Thraxamillan Reeves and Jonathan Purmineli; who would end up being the founding Underbosses of the new organization. With the rest of the ranks being filled at a steady rate with equally worthy individuals of quality, it was time to set a meet to discuss the future of the organization. The meeting took place in the backyard of Grove St. 17, just a few blocks away from previous battle lines along their old enemy’s territory. The meeting itself went on for hours, discussing ways they would separate themselves from the standard ideals of most syndicates and gangs, and after many, many hours of contemplation, the foundation was finally established and set. They had one main plan; to work as more of a democracy and family rather than a hierarchy. It was these sets of ideals that would begin attracting many criminals with and without an organization of their own to fall under the banner of blue. With the gang as a whole slowly crumbling in Mexico, the group took advantage of the chaos and managed to form a connection with ‘Zetas Vieja Escuela’, agreeing that they would plug the Los Santos’s group under the condition that they become a branch of Los Zetas in order to strengthen the Cartel’s influence in the US. The agreement made, the Los Santos branch of Los Zetas was born, aiming to bring new opportunities and wealth beyond measure to those who were willing to cast aside the petty restrictions of a false, corrupted law. As the numbers of the organization started to swell even further, so too would the power and money. The future looked bright, and was colored a beautiful shade of blue. The overall plan for Los Zetas is to shape Los Santos into their ideal vision. They want to operate as part of the city, similar to the influence government issued jobs obtain. They want to restructure the criminal underbelly of the city that benefits every criminal organization/family with Los Zetas at the head. They want control, influence and power parallel with all of the leading organizations within the city, legal and illicit. Violence is not always the preferred choice but Los Zetas will not hesitate to use deadly force if provoked. Zetas are still growing and improving daily. It’s easy to spot a member of the Los Zetas, all you have to do is look out for blue, both in their attire and their vehicles. Currently, the organization is recruiting more soldiers to fill it's ranks and putting the infrastructure in place to create the foundation for Los Zetas. They are established in multiple revenue pipelines, ranging from the local drug trade, securing supply routes, organized kidnappings, protection rackets, extortion, assassinations and weapons trafficking - receiving imports directly from their supplier south of the border. If there is a gun you are looking to get your hands on, the Los Zetas have the connections to get it. Respect for the criminal veterans of Los Santos is one of the most important rules when it comes to the Zetas, and in recent times with the disbanding of their brothers ‘The Clowns’ The organization pays tribute to their name by keeping their brand alive, as The Clowns were an essential part of Zeta’s creation. If you look closely, you’ll see many affiliates in blue putting on the iconic clown mask and rushing into the heat of battle, paying their respects to brothers and sisters of the past by letting their enemies look upon the visage of an old, and terribly familiar foe. In the time before and after the Irish War, the Los Zetas still retain their prominent status as one of the mightiest and most influential forces in the entire city, with several new business ventures forming in both legitimate and illegitimate forms opening several avenues of income. It can be said for absolute certain that out of any myriad of problems that the blue-clothed warriors could have, monetary issues would not be among them. The soldiers of Los Zetas are well equipped veterans of their field, and they have gained something arguably more important than just raw talent in recent days, experience. These soldiers have gained experience in large-scale combat, allowing them to traverse any and all battlefields almost instinctively, gunning down any opposition that stands in their way. This is especially evident in the recent wars, with victories being counted rapidly while their losses remain relatively low and near non existent. While The Zetas may seem chaotic by nature, they are very critical of each other in order to further improve themselves and others around them. Growing stagnant is not something that they will allow to happen. With members coming up with more innovative ways to grow and prosper, which allows them to always move forward finding new ways to garner lucrative methods of cash flow. The Zetas have come a long way, with an extensive, rich history of successes and failures, and even since the very beginning while many of the OG members still remain, the newest generations of Zetas have proven themselves to be more than capable of getting the job done regardless of the task at hand and the challenges they bring. With most of their previous goals completed, the Zetas now have their eyes set on distant, prosperous horizons moving forward: Opening up more business locations in order to further our expansion in Los Santos Offering protection for legal businesses around Los Santos in hopes to provide a safer city for civilians Negotiating further fixed prices on businesses such as Gas Stations and Gun stores in order to help balance the economy even further Reach out to small, street gangs in order to provide more business opportunities to both parties. I.E Protection of turf, weapon sales and providing a middle man in both gun deals and meetings for negotiations between multiple parties. Organization is key in Los Zetas. A process, a plan, follow through, rules, regulations, a strategy. Without it, there is no basis or foundation for operation, no goal in place. To this end, the Los Zetas is structured in a way that everyone has a part and a role to play and perform. Everyone has a task, everyone pitches in. Though each has its own individual tasks and responsibilities to perform, every group and role in the gang is connected, valued and has a voice. The Los Zetas functions as a democracy with very specific ranks in place in order to spread responsibilities and burdens evenly throughout the organization, to ensure that the general workflow is kept running smoothly. These tasks are ordered as follows: “Live Blue, Breathe Blue, Die Blue.” Don The Don is the head of Los Zetas, delegating tasks to his Underbosses and Confidants, making weighty decisions for the group with the support of his high command, and ensuring the organization is staying worthy of its place in the city and the Council. Underboss “When Don isn’t present, the Underboss steps in to lead in his stead. The Underboss is next in line to become Don should something happen to the current head of Los Zetas, and should therefore exemplify the qualities of Don at all times. This includes quick and thoughtful action, proven leadership, and heading meetings in Don’s place. Confidant Securing information, resolving disputes, creating doubt amongst enemies, and delegating guns and ammunition to the Los Zetas soldiers are among the chief responsibilities of the Confidant. This person shows true unbiased observation amongst disputes within the organization, as well as uses his resources to gather intel and root out weaknesses in enemies during war. His primary role is to advise the entirety of Los Zetas and bring information back to Don. Lieutenant Lieutenants are members of the organization that have proven themselves to be competent leaders and are deeply invested in the organization. When no other leadership is around they are expected to take control of situations and ensure that the general members stay in line. They are also trusted with contacts to our weapon imports and are tasked with keeping the ranks of the Los Zetas armed with heavy weaponry. Sicario Similar to the Lieutenant, Sicarios help to lead the soldiers of the organization and teach them the art of war, how to traverse a battlefield, and the way a Los Zetas member should carry themselves. Sicarios are also responsible for disciplinary action, enforcing the laws of the Los Zetas among its members. OG OG’s have the responsibility of teaching the younger generation of Zetas how to get where they currently are, to pass down their knowledge and teachings of the Los Zetas, and to prepare them for the trials ahead. These members have proven themselves through blood and dedication to the family, and have been recognized for their commitment to the cause. Soldier No organization can survive without its soldiers, the blade and blood of the organization. They have proven their loyalty to Los Zetas and have been honored with the recognition as family, and have committed to improving both themselves and those around them. Runner These are the newest members to the organization; they have shown their promising potential and have been invited to join the ranks and keep proving themselves. These members have a lot to show and improve to be recognized into the family. Sub Roles Recruiter A Recruiter’s responsibility is making sure Zetas remains a powerful unit by providing us with the best soldiers this city has to offer and keeping up with their progress within the family. They have proven themselves to be intelligent, thorough, and a good judge of potential. Asset Adviser The Asset Adviser is a renowned businessman with deep pockets and vast entrepreneurial knowledge. This rank serves as someone who is affiliated with Zetas but also the business world. Their responsibility is to turn our dirty money into clean money. They aid in monopolizing the city and maintaining the legal front of our organization in order to ward off police. "Only those who went hungry with me and stood by me when I went through a bad time at some point in my life will eat at my table" - Pablo Escobar Family and loyalty, tenants and bylaws that when laid down as a foundation, become the support and basis for all that is built upon it. This is especially the case when it comes to one of the strongest criminal organizations ever to be seen holding the streets of Los Santos in its iron grip, the ‘Los Zetas’. It is these very same ideals that seems to be the fuel that keeps the fiery heart and soul of the Zetas’s war machine scorching hot and pushing ever onward, claiming victory after victory for the men and women under the blue cloth and banners. Since the very beginning of the now seemingly ‘legendary’ organization, they’ve recruited members from all walks of life. It didn’t matter to whom you once pledged your allegiance to, or to what end you endured the rugged, painful trial of the merciless streets and the dangers the concrete jungle had to offer. The Los Zetas would accept those and only those who shared a common belief, a unified drive, and an ever growing goal: to unite, to conquer, and to prosper. It was these beliefs and the carefully crafted and constructed infrastructure that, under the present leadership of one Jay Gamble, raised the blue army from nothing to blood drenched riches and allowed them to prosper through even the darkest of times and the most brutal circumstances that the city had to throw at them. Together, the soldiers of the Los Zetas would grow as a family, living for one another and protecting one another by the saying “If you’re with us, then we’re with you, always” a quote that rings true with the introduction of The Council The Council From an idea to a reality, the council was originally created in order to monopolize Los Santos and completely organize all criminal activity within her blood-soaked, concrete walls. The group consisted of the ‘Shadow Cartel’, the ‘Irish Mob’, the ‘Clowns’, ‘La Familia’, and with Los Zetas being the newest organization to rise in power with the most potential, they were offered a seat amongst the criminal elite as well, a milestone of major proportions in terms of status and identity. During this point in time, tension within the criminal underworld was growing, with several criminal syndicates rising up and making a name for themselves with a similar mindset: they were opposed to the idea of being overseen by rival groups, with each making a grab for a slice of the pie that was the power structure in Los Santos. It was this circumstance that gave birth to a major uprising, lead by foes that hated the idea of a controlled criminal monopoly on organized gang operations. During this time, The Zetas were given the same choice as all the others: join The Council or oppose it. Though the decision could be seen as a particularly weighty one, the difficulty of the choice itself was irrelevant, as the Los Zetas were formed with the mindset to do things that were completely outside of the normal, day-to-day expectations for a major crime syndicate. Why fight to keep things the same, when your existence was to change it? The answer to such a question was too simple for Jay Gamble, who met with The Council as soon as his organization was completely formed and ready to begin taking its long, conquering strides across the city. The meeting itself went down with great success, and it was at that moment, surrounded by the biggest and most respected Bosses, Gang Leaders, and criminal entrepreneurs in town, The ‘Los Zetas’ were officially welcomed to the elite circle of organized crime. A new era had begun, and it was awash with the color of blue. Notes: Zetas had two choices, join Council or Join the opposition in fighting the Council Jay Gamble met with the Council after Zetas was created, and they were watched closely by the other founding families, amongst other prospective groups being considered. Zetas were eventually accepted into The Council. The Council fights their first major war against the LSPD & several gangs aligned with Narcos. The Council comes out on top of the war, but The Shadow Cartel and La Familia slowly lose their foothold in Los Santos, ultimately fading from a group they once helped found; The Council. The Council maintains control of the city's criminal underworld despite the loss of two founding families, continuing to rid the city of menacing gangs whom have no regard for civilian life and no true code of conduct. The Council loses confidence in the Irish Mob with the change of leadership moving away from the old Irish, and being exchanged multiple times, leading to a poor state of affairs between the group. The Council ultimately decides to move away from the Irish Mob, ultimately removing them from the coalition, leading to several negative encounters further damaging relations between the groups. The Irish go to war with The Clowns, Los Zetas stands idle as they agree to war 1 on 1; after roughly 24 hours The Wanted interjects in the war, and the Zetas immediately move to aid their long-standing ally against the larger force. Within 2 days, the majority of the criminal organizations within the city stand behind the Irish and The Wanted and declare war on The Council leaving the two remaining members at a disadvantage number wise. Once both The Council was in sync, the city would end up seeing the largest and bloodiest war in its history, leaving the streets riddled with bodies and terror on a daily basis. Numbers were not trumped by experience, and we would see several major strikes against these groups, ultimately splitting them up, with the Wanted bowing out of the war after just 48 hours upon entry. Upon the Wanted exiting the war, each smaller group would systematically fall to The Councils organized and coordinated strikes against them ultimately falling apart, leaving heavy numbers buried in shallow graves scattered across the desert of Blaine County. With victory on the rise for the Council, the Zetas would take over the Irish Mobs long standing head quarters of the Mirror Park Tavern ultimately symbolizing their defeat before the group slowly faded from existence in Los Santos. † Be a loyal member of the organization.
