ISTM that some around here think that "the present emergency" (whatever it may be today) gives gov't leave to take whatever action it deems appropriate and necessary. e.g. the depredations and perceived threats of a defined subset of citizens (outlaw motorcycle gang).
In Texas, they passed a law that specifically addresses this. Texas organized crime law
This is the law that 177 were charged under on 5/17/15 in Waco. At the time, the indication was that this charge would soon be followed with additional charges, such as murder, manslaughter, assault.
Everyone understood that it would take a few days to review evidence and sort things out and get the actual bad actors charged with their actual crimes and drop the holding charge on those who did nothing except to be present at a public accommodation and dive for cover when the bullets started flying. We were told by Waco PD info officer, Patrick Swanton that Waco PD WANTED the info released. We are a week short of four months and the wall of silence continues. Oh, did I mention?... Not a peep from the Feds.
All this and much more is well documented in the wonderful FR Archives - search keyword: waco.
WARNING: From the get-go, the "few others" that BD mentions have been very busy; first trying to get ANY discussion of the matter barred by site ownership. Failing that, a small number continue to make a huge number of posts. They defend the LE narrative (such as it is) and that's fine.
However the troublesome thing is that they continually portray us who want to look at the due process aspects (probable cause, no excessive bail, being faced by accusers, gag orders...) and at holding LE accountable of being "supporters of criminal gangs".
The reader should draw his own conclusions as to the motivation for such.
I think a majority here already have, and it's not against yourself, perhaps most in particular.
