I am just catching up with this, so I probably have missed important details. I do know there was fighting in a parking lot and a large number participating, surrounded by police.
Imagine...tear gas. Imagine - fire hoses.
You're telling me that the only way it plays out is to open up and shoot them all down?
Is there ANY indication that ANY LEO was in danger of his life?
The fight that began in the parking lot was stopped by other bikers...it resumed in the bathroom, spilled over into the restaurant where shots were fired, then spilled back out to the parking lot.
When the bikers opened fire...of course the police are going to shoot...I would expect them to do so in a public restaurant with gang thugs swinging guns.......and they did. I have no problem with that.
No
Despite the celebration amongst a handful here over dead outlaw bikers
Nor have I seen proof of shots in the building yet
Nor of cops or their cars shot
And this notion cops should simply open fire on folks who may have or not opened fire on each other is a slippery slope
What if you pull your weapon on a criminal in public place who’s attacking you
Are you by default fair game by any police shows up?
I started out thinking Bandidos simply killed some upstarts in a brawl
But as its unfolded I have at least a dozen questions
So far this doesn’t pass the smell test even though I hoped it would
If I’m wrong I’ll be glad to admit it
I do not for instance think like some here do that cops should murder outlaw bikers preemptively
