Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

“Takes video and uploads to Twitter in real time. Once video is on Twitter, and has been downloaded to a thousand PCs, then it cannot be deleted (unless the police preemptively have taken down cell service before their op) “

It doesn’t upload to Twitter. It is a live stream. It’s gone as soon as it happens unless you capture it.

Thanks for the advice, PapaBear.

I do not expect to need it but better to have it, in case I ever do.

:)

Hands Up Don’t shoot protests begin ...

****************************************************************************************************
You have the IQ of a gnat if you actually think the “Hand Up, Don’t Shoot” idiots are in any way like the folks participating in this righteous demonstration against the misuse of power by the ATF, the FBI, the DOJ and the local police elements doing their bidding.

But you probably already know that and are just trolling.

From what I have heard here, the police are guilty and justice must be served. Same thing I heard in Ferguson.

“You are the one who is fixated on faggotry.”

We’re talking about biker gangs, they are kinda gay, in my opinion.

“It would be rather difficult for me to be the “alpha male” of anything, considering that I’m not even male.”

Maybe.... but it doesn’t prevent you from drawing deliberately misleading conclusions, like “If you don’t belong to a biker gang you hate veterans”

From Periscope tutorial:

Unlike Meerkat, where the livestream is… well, dead once the user stops it, Periscope will save your broadcasts for 24 hours.

Periscope users can replay them within that time frame.

Viewers can replay your broadcast with comments and hearts to relive the full experience or they can choose to hide chat before the replay.

His obit says nothing about being an officer in the Cossacks. Are they ashamed of that?

Here is his obit photo:

Perception is a funny thing.

We tend to find what we are seeking, consciously or otherwise.

“If you don’t belong to a biker gang you hate veterans”

Oh, crap!
Is it Logical Fallacy Day on FR, again, already?

I keep missing the memos.

“I keep missing the memos.”

The ‘memo’ I got from your pals is:

Battle lines are drawn. On one are the people that support the biker gangs. On the other side are the LE and Soros plants.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. What do you think biker gangs think a cigar is?

I’m not associating the bikers with Bonnie and Clyde

You are

The Barrow gang killed up to 14 cops in just a few years plus civilians who got in their way

There is no equating

The Hamer ambush of the Barrow gang was justifiable police ambush

What happened in Waco if an ambush was not

Actually, if you were being intellectually honest, the “two sides” are:

..those who say the whole ATF, FBI, DOJ & local police “explanations” don’t come to passing the smell test

and

..those who appear to completely accept the explanations and spend their time labeling anyone who disagrees with them as closeted queers and or otherwise casting aspersions at them.

As for me, I’m in the first group and, IMHO, the 2nd group appear to be the type of folks myself and my family avoid as much as possible since they are so unpleasant and so unreasonable. On the internet it’s impossible to avoid them as they spend so much time trolling.

I’ve been courteous to you but that’s twice you’ve been disingenuous about what you link

The truth has no agenda

I suggest you look for it

Or be honest about where your frame of reference comes from

We’d respect you for it. At least I would

Snarky posters here are never forthcoming plus I can judge you by the company you’re keeping on this thread

Two are simply no damn good

I realize thats not your fault but this thing is not breaking your way at least as Freepers go

Since I don’t fall into either I just must be a regular guy.

“We’d respect you for it. At least I would”

I tried the respectful route here and all it got me was a lot personal attacks. I don’t do personal attacks so every now and then I throw in a twister. It was done to show the hypocrisy of certain posters here in coming to a conclusion that has no basis other than their pre-conceived notions fueled by a few click-bait websites.

“I realize thats not your fault but this thing is not breaking your way at least as Freepers go”

As for as ‘Freepers go’ I have never seen before the ones you referenced and care not who posts what.

As for as FReepers, it disgusts me that ANY would be supporting the outlaw gangs ... unless they have ties to them or in at least one case make money off of them.

You really want to compare their posts to the ones I have gotten from a few that you keep company with! I don’t think so.

I know I put you into Category 1 but you inferred that I was keeping company in Category 2. No disrespect intended. Just posting as I see it.

I totally loathe that certain FReepers have a ‘two-category’ attitude and if you are not in their category all you get from them are personal attacks.

The hyperbole on these threads has achieved critical mass hysteria.
