“You are believing an anonymous source cited by WaPo? Go ahead.”
That has far more substance, than just reading people exchange insults here.
And it isn’t “believing.” It is reading, considering, comparing, compiling, etc.
It looks very much like a process that criminals call “cooling out the mark” is going on here
Except the parties playing the process aren’t the bikers
How many informants did the police have in the Cossacks, the Banditos? Were they agents provocateur?
Why weren't the videos released immediately, as with situations where force by police was justified?
Where are the images of the shot-up vehicles the police were hiding behind? Not so much as a broken window.
Where are the statements from the wounded (bikers, not police, who apparently did not even stub a toe)?
This reeks of an ambush.
Now, I'm not hurling insults, and I have asked some serious questions.
I expect that by the time any real evidence is provided, any Brady Material (look that one up, its a good term) will have been buried.
In the meantime, the police want 170 million in bail money, have motorcycles worth a minimum of 1.7 million dollars (average of 10,000/bike), which is likely low by a factor of 2. Not to mention anything and everything else seized. There are 9 dead bodies they have to explain away in order to keep the goodies.
Yet they will be the ones doing the investigating. Maybe, just maybe there is a slight conflict of interest.
