” the police have not alleged participation in a deadly gang fight”
Hmm, from the probable cause affidavit:
“During the course of the altercation, members and associates of the Cossacks and Banditos brandished and used firearms, knives, or other unknown edged weapons, batons, clubs, brass knuckles and other weapons,”
Boy, that sure sounds like they alleged participation in a deadly gang fight to me.
It sure does. But none of the affidavits allege that any given individual engaged in the action. There is no probable cause of participation recited against any person.
The only legal allegation that sticks, under the affidavit (which only controls existence of probable cause to justify arrest), is conspiracy; and that sticking is not agreed by all judges.
