A rookie cop looking to make a name for himself finds a gang in the middle of an illegal act. He tries to arrest them, it goes badly and they end up fucking his ass. They also steal his wallet and police car. Now they have his name and address.
He could be undercover, but it's unlikely a rookie cop would be put undercover. So he's doing it off his own back, hoping to make a name for himself, going in without back-up. Alternatively, his more experienced partner is setting him up, either because he's corrupt and in cahoots with the gang, or he simply dislikes the rookie's arrogance and wants to bring him down a peg or two.
It's not impossible that a more experienced cop set him up; I guess cops are capable of anything. Personally, I have never heard of an incident of that type. (Sounds a bit like Training Day, but that movie always struck me as kind of implausible and overblown.)
One thing is for sure: if this guy lost his car and I presume his gun and badge, that is about the worst thing that could happen to a cop (short of shooting another cop by accident). His career would be over.
It would probably be better if he wasn't undercover, as it would be more humiliating for him to lose his gun, badge, etc, if he was in full uniform. It would still come down to him either being very brave / stupid, or him being set up by his partner, going in believing he had back-up when there was none.
It's possible I suppose, but it needs some further work. He'd have to be really - inexperienced and arrogant - to take on an entire gang without back-up. I have indeed heard of some huge rookie-cop blunders. This needs some additional element (not sure what yet) to make it plausible. Maybe they ambush him instead of the other way around?
