It’s an unusual event. Teams of heavily armed police waiting for an altercation — then storming in guns blazing.
These biker gangs are a scourge on society — but something about the police actions in this instance seems somehow distasteful.

No comparison, bikers were not looting or destroying other people’s property like in Baltimore and Ferguson. Also, the police were not told to stand down and let them do what ever they want to do!

I noticed that as well.
At some point the bikers dropped their weapons and sat down. From what I saw, most weren’t even handcuffed because they were no longer a threat.

A bunch of white thugs killed each other and someone thinks white poeple will freak and take to the streets to defend them?
Ain’t never gonna happen. We’re not stupid enough to cry over common criminals and run to the barricades in shared pity.
Let the cops haul the thugs off...

Yep. Particularly since it’s reported that police were ‘on scene’, knowing in advance of the gathering.
I can only picture numerous deployed, suitably-armed officers. Ironically reinforced with press images of officers carrying single-point-slung AR15s...

Well when you know you have groups of armed undesirables in an area you are going to come down on them rather than give them an area to riot. This wasn’t Baltimore after all.

These guys weren’t going to riot — they only wanted to kill each other.
But, yes, law enforcement couldn’t just stand there and let it happen.

Are you really going to go look for a way to bash the police after an incident like this??? Haha. Actually, go ahead and try. It’ll make the cop-bashers look even more foolish.

No, I’m not bashing cops.
Just interested in the truth.

Sure, the police should never worry about a bunch of killings on public streets.

How many of the armed individuals were licensed or permitted in accordance with what the local laws require?

You seem like a man who is on the ball.
I’m still looking for 1) pictures and reports on the weapons used by the Garland terror attackers and 2) how many robots were used there by the police, from which agencies, if any were damages, and if so how.
Can you suggest any links with that information?
