So the police intended to kill 12 people while firing into a crowd and using suppressed weapons.
9 people were killed and 18 wounded.
But, the bikers fired at least 32 rounds from semi-autos and possibly more from revolvers that apparently weren’t counted as ‘shell casings.’
>>> at least 475weapons. This includes 151 firearms, 12 of which were long guns. <<<
Which means that the ‘long guns’ were recovered from vehicles as were a significant number of hand guns and played no part in the shootings.
There’s no information how many firearms (or other weapons) were being legally carried by individuals, or legally being transported in vehicles and not fired in the shootings.
It still looks to me like there’s a conscious intent to mislead by parsing and spinning the information, and it still stinks.
The officers were staged outside the restaurant on May 17, in anticipation of a large meeting of biker groups ... in the direct presence of at least FOUR marked police cars. These malcontents stared this public shootout with the cop cars right there in plain sight.
A minor detail, obviously, so the MSM forgot to mention it.
These guys came for a rumble in broad daylight, Sunday brunch, to have-it-out at a pre-publicized regular meeting of Harley riders clubs discussing legislation related to biking. In front of four cop cars. At a busy restaurant surrounded by busy restaurants and shopping venues.
And when the really shifty characters filled with hardened criminals who would wreak such reckless mayhem -- all 177 -- were arrested and sent to jail on million dollar bonds, it turned out only about a third even had an arrest record.
Simply mind boggling.
