Not in my opinion. IMO, you're a gullible mark because you immediately assume that 117 Texas residents could be "biker criminals" worthy of arrest and being held on $1 million bail while having entirely clean records in the state of Texas, zero prior convictions, let alone arrests.
You may or may not be a statist, but you are most certainly a useful item for statists who approach law enforcement on a military model -- that is, fighting an "enemy" identified by insignia.
True lawmen fight crime by catching individuals of malicious intent who harm innocents.
Lawmen were absent at Twin Peaks on May 17. Instead, there were law enforcement officers -- badges -- pretending to be soldiers in a war against an "enemy" they can identify simply and easily by the equivalent of uniform.
Real law men work a little harder at identifying criminals.
