Blurry lines between bikers, police clubs draw concern
Ap via Fox ^ | June 7, 2015

Posted on 06/08/2015 6:18:07 AM PDT by don-o

Police officers and outlaw biker gangs often stand on common ground. Both attract the young and adventurous who value order, discipline and brotherhood. And on weekends tens of thousands of cops routinely trade their cruisers and badges for choppers and club colors.

The bond doesn't mean a free pass for criminal motorcycle gangs, but even some within law enforcement worry that too many officers believe bikers are just misunderstood Robin Hoods. And empathy from officers who emulate or even aspire to the outlaw life can put police or the public at risk, gang experts warn.

What crime[s] did the two Mexican ladies that were delivering news papers and the cops shot up their truck commit”? Please include statute numbers and dates in cite.

I must apologize, I was referring to the article. The meaning of your statement did not escape me.

“Only silly libertarians think we should have no government.”

“Must be foolin you, Mr. Big Boy.”


Gotcha for sure this time. Only liberals pray to big government and you didn’t know how to deny my catch that you are one of many monikers here.

You Miss; are a plant meant to throw a wrench in the works of good people talking about something you know nothing about and never will. It is all so far above your capability to understand all you can to do is grasp at the nearest straw.

Gotcha.

So now that you have been caught red handed; are you now willing to confess your crimes and tell us just how many different names you post under and what they are?

Many of us know already but it would be nice to hear it from you.

Even more important; what is your goal? You must know we will call you out every time now so you might as well be honest and say it.

Do you get paid directly from the socialist party or are you subcontracting?

No fool like an old fool..

Trying to follow you here. Your wildly scattered thoughts are very difficult to comprehend.

Might try slowing down and taking several deep breaths. Wildly scattered irrational thoughts is a serious sign of a stroke, but then again could be something as simple as your trying to bully like your Bandido friends.

Inhale slowly, hold it then exhale slowly. Repeat.

Wow! You gotta share that dooby.

Were these two Mexican ladies at Twin Peaks, delivering newspapers on a Sunday afternoon? Very strange indeed. Probably actually delivering Zig Zag papers.

Now reread your post. See how off the wall it is?

If I am not incorrect, bringing an unrelated subject into an ongoing thread is called Highjacking.

Now if you have a statement or question on the subject of this thread then go ahead. if you have more dribble trying to convince us that the biker bum criminal outlaws are just misunderstood choirboys, then don’t waste our time.

Deflection. Another tactic used by the Alinsky acolytes.

You still have not answered the question although it barely matters; what dog do you have in this fight?

I did not take your comment amiss. I was agreeing with you and commenting on the article.

The real question is - would they actively - and physically - try to stop the others from doing so, or just do nothing.

Hard to answer that one.


Not so hard to answer, look at the US Military, have you seen any ranking officers balk at carrying out obama's orders? Even when they know it will cost the lives of their men.

The cops, I believe will do what they are told to do, for in following orders is their paycheck and retirement assured.

Please, please keep on proving my point on the absurdity of otherwise sane law abiding citizens throwing in with America’s white motorcycleized version of ISIS, Crips n Bloods and the drug cartel rolled into motorcycle “clubs”.

Neither the “clubs” (similar to Hamas being a “club”) or you misguided defenders of these criminal anarchists will come out very well as a result of your big Sag Pants display at Waco.

“Bikers are among the most patriotic and conservative minded folks in America. They are the people you want on your side when it hits the fan.”

LOL! The biker dudes at Twin Peaks ran into the bathroom when trouble broke out!

And conservatism is NOT dealing in drugs and prostitution.

Conservatism is NOT killing other people.

Conservatism is NOT extorting decent riders for CoC dues.

Again deflection. Answer the question.

You can have your own opinion but you cannot have your own facts about bike clubs. A subject you clearly know very little about.

What a loon. Look at the date of the news article you posted. Just 2 days after the massacre by the police. You can bet the author of that article sees things much different now after 3 weeks of stonewalling by the prosecutor.

It’s so funny to watch you switch between forum names to make it sound like there are more who are as clueless as you are.
