Baloney. Bunch of idiots caused the problem with their childish sorority rules about motorcycle clubs. The gangs run a racket and you have to kiss the ring of the lead gang if you want to have a motorcycle club in whatever area the lead gang picks. Hell, if your jacket patches are the wrong color or the wrong design, they will attack you.
Cops were right to watch them and sure enough the fight started, and they came out with weapons.
No different than MS-13, Bloods or Crips.
Glad they kept em out of Waco. The idiots were endangering people getting out of church who just wanted to get lunch.
The specific civil rights claim at issue was for the false arrest of individuals who denied being members of any motorcycle gang or of having committed any crime and who were arrested, indicted, and held on false and inadequate facts. In essence, the case was about innocent people who were mistreated by government officials.
You sound like the type of person who hears “biker” and automatically paints them all with the “evil, drug dealer psycho killer” brush. Glad to know.
I usually agree with what you post, but can't here. The police instigated this to try and set up Bandits. You don't need to like Bandits but they don't deserve to be entrapped.
Bad part is the police killed more of their accomplices than they did Bandits. Cossacks were chumps.
