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.

Loaded question?

Loaded question.

Why don’t the bikers here condemn the actions of the biker gangs.

Many of them do. Perhaps you need examples of that, too.

I, personally, am much more concerned about a group that acts under color of law, and may have started a plain-old turkey shoot, killing 9 and injuring hundreds.

Outlaw biker gangs are bad. No question.

However, outlaw police gangs -- if we find that these police qualify -- are worse.

“He reminds me of those guys out in the street who smear a dirty rag on your windshield and then asks you for a dollar.”

The dude with the dirty rag is extorting money just like the biker gangs do from the legitimate clubs.

You comment on my time but you waste your time commenting on how I spend my time!

We live to identify and kill trolls.

It's our hobby.

“Does one qualify as a Biker Gang Adorer by insisting that John Law is to be constrained by the very laws he is sworn to uphold? “

No. But I find it interesting that you have shifted the subject from biker gangs to cops without answering my questions.

Why will no FR bikers condemn the biker gangs?

I am 68 years old

So you WERE a child when lead was still in paint.

This explains much.

I've answered your questions several times, yet you seem completely unconcerned that the cops may have instigated a plain old turkey shoot.

“his colors he has the three-patch outlaw theme with a diamond-13. I think you know what that means.” - tg

Well, better arrest him, just to be sure.

Charges? Resisting arrest and hmmmm...poor fashion sense. Yea, that is it.

Bail? $1,000,000 of course.

We are a country where all, umm scratch that, many, yea, many of the laws are enforced to the letter. - just perfect. Officer’s discretion, and prosecutor’s, and judge’s. It just makes sense, if you disagree - politely ask Eric holder.

You don't fly planes and operate nuclear reactors if you had too much lead as a kid. However, the dude below may fit your description. You must have a problem in the head if you hang out with bandidos.

From what I gather since you only say that the cops are bad and won’t comment on the biker gangs is that since cops are bad biker gangs are good?

Good LORD, I hate to think how many people were in jeopardy! Well, as they say, God looks out for imbeciles and ships captains.

And you don't mention you were a captain of a ship, so that narrows it down a bit.

You jumped into a discussion about non-one percenters. Injecting one percenters into the conversation is a red herring.

Lazamataz: "Outlaw biker gangs are bad. No question."

Please, for the love of God, stay away from piloting aircraft or operating nuclear equipment. The lead you ingested has taken its toll!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STAY AWAY FROM THOSE ACTIVITIES!

Yes. I did that too. Have sailed up and down the three coasts.

Not my boat but close. Sold mine a few years back.

At that time you were a ships captain.

Now you're just an imbecile.

Well, I am interested in what actually went down in Waco and how nine people got dead in the immediate vicinity of a sizable contingent of LEO's.

What does it even mean.."Condemn biker gangs"? If I condemn biker gangs, do I then assent to individuals that John Law declares a biker gang member to have forfeited their due process rights?
