Why FOIA is Valuable/Important

It is important that we have access to the FOIA information to know the what went on behind the scene of a person on incident good or bad. This information is valuable for the fact that looking outside in you are clearly not going to know the whole story. FOIA wants to know the good the bad and the ugly, and makes it their business to find all that out even if they block all the information from the public.


As I browsed through the names in the FOIA file I stumbled across the gangster disciples. They first caught my attention because of the information I read the gang being based in Chicago, Illinois so that immediately intrigued by the topic at hand. I feel as though the gangster disciples were highlighted because it is one of the oldest street gangs in Chicago as well as one of the four major gangs in the city. This infromation would be valuable to the FOIA because when it come to street gangs alot of illegal activities go down as far as drugs and murder and that's when the FBI comes in to play.
