Reasonable people ARE asking why the police were able to finish it, yet not prevent it, or make an effort to prevent it, by posturing themselves in a most open and (for lack of a better term) intimidating position, where all biker participants could see the SWAT team members with full battle regalia, to include weapons, MRAPS, squad cars, helicopters, etc..
Otherwise, reasonable people might contemplate whether law enforcement intended to react with overwhelming fire power from an advantageous position on the order of an ambush, coinciding with the instant- reasonable cause was detected, thus giving them the legal footing (needed) to use lethal force.
In other words, premeditation was instituted, rather than prevention.
Ready for it?
An ounce of prevention (posturing) is worth a pound of (5.56mm/head shots) cure.
Sounds more and more like Kent State. IIRC there were some who thought they deserved it, too. I used to know someone who was there. He said he just walked out of Chemistry Class when students around him were shot. Out of control people with rifles in public. Note, students, not demonstrators.
