Just because there a few stories here and there about gangs members shooting at police doesn't mean it's a normal occurrence, it just so happens that criminals especially the cartels in Mexico have a more hardcore mentality and culture than U.S gangs. Most U.S gangs aren't suicidal maniacs like SoCal says. It's different countries where cultures are different and yes even criminal cultures are way different. I imagine most shootings with cops in the U.S are from patrol stops gone wrong where the criminal panics and shoot at the police. That is way different than criminals seeking out the police to murder them especially trying to rescue/defend their boss.
