I have to wonder what some of the biker defenders here expected the police to do.

We expect the police to act like lawmen in the presence of average American motorcyclists who belong to clubs, attending a long-scheduled, pre-announced COCI meeting.

You are okay with the police acting like soldiers, killing enemy combatants identified by insignia and then taking POWs. VERY different from the acts of lawmen. There were ZERO lawmen at Waco -- you utterly FAIL to discern the difference, and it is beyond puzzling. It is downright suspicious.

You are so very extremely misguided and ignorant -- it is mind boggling. Again, DO YOU LIVE IN AN ATTIC and only get your knowledge of the real world from TV?

It's the only explanation for your being so happy and willing to buy into the myth of Sons of Anarchy.

Actually, I don’t care for the Sons Of Anarchy, but my biker brother and all of his buddies watch it, and talk about it like stay-at-home wives watching their favorite soap opera.

Finny nails it here.

If law enforcement wants to treat citizens as enemy combatants, they deserve all the return fire they can get.

Just my $.02.
