The 170 bikers rounded up after a deadly battle in Texas this week included a retired police detective who traded in his badge for a Bandidos supporter patch.

The San Antonio Police Department confirmed Wednesday that Martin Lewis was on the force for 32 years before retiring in 2004. It provided no further details about his service record.

Any chance he might have infiltrated the Bandidos for the Feds?

+1 - Can it be they've stumbled on the False Flag evidence?

That will be interesting. As a retired LEO he is eligible to carry concealed under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, a federal law intending to keep retired law enforcement armed. Retiring and joining an OMG known best for drug trafficking is very interesting. Enough to start digging through his old cases to look for irregularities.

I doubt it, that would require a new identity. I wonder why the Bandidos would ever let him hang around unless he had proven himself to be on their side.

That's a sweet deal. What about Equal Protection for the peasants?

Write this on the wall, there is more to this story.

Not a fan of MC. Just someone who can smell BS after 63 years of a annual dose of it.

“What about Equal Protection for the peasants?”

Not sure you understand how being a peasant works...
One law for the elites and one law for you.

Oh and by the way, Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act doesn’t just allow for concealed carry, it allow for concealed carry without regard for local laws. Retired LEO can carry in states that don’t allow out of state concealed carriers, and in bars, schools, churches, or wherever even if there is a law that says local concealed carriers can’t. BTW I’m not saying they shouldn’t have this particular right, I’m saying everyone should have it.

Definitely. But the article says “supporter patch”. Is that just a term the “journalist” is randomly using or does he mean the patches that gangs give to fan boys, and hangers on that they tolerate and allow to patch, but don’t involve in anything.

Yep. There’s more to this story.

I suppose it was an easy transition from one criminal activity to another.

I agree that there is more to the story. It will take some time for the truth to see the light of day but it will.
