Well CNN also call them Brave and Courageous?
Who cares if they wear their “colors”? It is nice when the bad guys are clearly labeled. I think law enforcement should be allowed to profile and businesses should be able to refuse service or sales to guys wearing “colors.” The only problem with that is the real biker guys are bad guys and want to mess up someone wearing colors in their area regardless of who may be around just like these moronic Mexican gangs. The wanna bes who dress like motorcycle gang members are a taco short of a platter too.
The cops were only doing their job. Of course nobody is all bad, even Barrack Obama isn’t all bad but that’s the nature of evil.
You again wrongly try to interpret this newspaper report and its conclusion as some defense of bike gangs. It was not re-enforcing your failing contention that Bandidos, Cossack, etc. bike gangs were just misunderstood law abiding citizens and were at Twin Peaks, armed to the teeth, to discuss MOTORCYCLE SAFETY only to be ambushed by a horde of bloodthirsty cops just waiting for any excuse.
Police are trained to shoot to kill, not to ‘wound’. The object of firing a weapon is to terminate a threat as quickly and efficiently as possible. For an individual officer with a handgun, that means firing hollow-point bullets (banned by the Geneva Conventions) into the center of mass (chest) as many times as required until the threat is ended.
Police armed with scoped, silenced, M-16 and/or M-4 rifles are required to do the same thing: shoot to kill, not wound.
The police fired 12 rifle rounds intending to kill as many as 12 individuals in the center of the melee. Are we to assume the police are incompetent at hitting man-sized targets at less than 50 yards with a scoped rifle?
So why do the press and police continue to imply that although the police intended to kill 12 people, the only deaths and injuries resulted from the ‘gang members’?
This story still stinks without even considering the constitutional issue of arresting people based on their choice of clothing.
We are being spun and misled at every opportunity by law enforcement.
“62 individuals were released without any charges being filed.”
I wonder how many of those were employees of the two restaurants and other shoppers in the area?
Thanks Don-O for keeping us posted on the latest.
Here is relevant discussion of the founders caution about insuring that the Bill of Rights was not limited to those specifically addressed. Giving a limited number of powers to the Federal Government and reserving the rest to the States and the People. (i.e. the 9th Amendment)
I think this is specifically related to Waco because of the not specifically stated:
The Right of Free Association
The Right to the Presumption of Innocence
The Right to a Fair Trial
The Right to Privacy
