Ridiculous Police News (Specific events)

With that biker gang shooting leaving people dead, and injured, yet they got dudes in the gang just chillin with cops, not handcuffed.

White privilege gets you not treated like animals by cops, I guess.

Shit is sad too. Dude on CNN trying to defend the fact that they are arrested with "there are Bikers there who weren’t part of the brawl." Are you fucking kidding me? To top it off, he doesn't consider any of them "thugs" unlike the rioters and looters in Ferguson/Baltimore. I'm not saying all biker gangs are thugs, but if you are in a One Percenter gang and dealing with criminal elements, you are a god damn thug any way you look at it.

9 people dead in a Biker Brawl, [white] people don't get arrested. Dudes hanging out on the scene of a protest or protesting, people getting snatched up left and right and arrested immediately. People White privilege lives on.

Even more, it was just recently reported that they "accidentally" released 3 of the bikers. Fuck that shit.

What.... just... what?

170 people were arrested or did you skip over that part?

Judging from friends and family who were around in the 60's and 70's, coupled with what little I know about Hells Angels and their ilk, these biker gangs are often more powerful and more dangerous than any gang in the country.

Was going to edit, but there's a new post now.

Here's some of the mugshots of those arrested.

Everyone affiliated should have been taken in. Every single person with a jacket. We aren't talking about low tier gangs like Bloods or Crips, we are talking about real high level gangs who deal in kidnappings, extortion, murders, money laundering and the like, as well as people who work with the Mexican Cartels to bring drugs into the country. These dudes are fucking dangerous men.

[Blubbartron]

I'll just leave this here.



On topic - fuck 'em, hope they all rot, shame they didn't kill more of each other before the cops showed up to subdue them.

Not only are they dangerous, a lot of smaller gangs work under larger ones for protection, prestige, etc. The jail I worked at, they had a huge flow chart showing how various gangs were tied to one another and possible rivals to others just to try to keep them separate when they assign them to a housing unit.

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. The articles mention about 100 motorcycles and 50 to 70 cars/trucks. This would put the number of people there between 170 to 240 (maybe?) and they've said they've arrested 170 people.

If you're talking about people who may have fled/weren't there, there isn't too much they can do for the same reason they don't go around arresting every member of any other gang. They have, however, arrested more bikers over the past few days just for being in the area.

I get that the hot topic right now is how the police treat black people, and it is a widely discussed topic for a good reason, however this is not the case to argue white privilege. The police are arresting around 200 people for this incident and the number is very likely to keep rising as they continue booking and questioning the people involved.

It's just infuriating to see images of bikers and people of their ilk standing outside and chillin on their phones after a major crime like it's nothing (when the crime itself involves them). You simply can't see an image of that and not be angry to some extent as an African-American. jmc posted an image that's closer to what's realistic, as well as your words concerning who's being arrested. I don't mind being wrong in the instance that the officers simply didn't have enough handcuffs or restraints, but seeing these dudes on their cellphones and what not is just off putting. You know if it was any other race with this number being arrested all of them would be face down on the floor or in some other compromised position, much less even be allowed to use their cellphones while being taken in. The portrayal in the media (CNN, Fox News) that these bikers are seen as something else other than thugs is also off putting as well.

The hot topic is hot for a reason, agreed. However, this is just another example of how black people are treated vs whites. There's of course an added element of the police force having less power than the bikers overall, but the fact is still there.

You just said "white privilege."

Fail.

I can understand why you're frustrated, and there are indeed a number of photos with the bikers sitting on curbs, grass, and the parking lot looking at their phones, but in all the photos I've seen of this they're also being guarded by an officer or officers with assault rifles depending on the size of the group.

Police Departments to return Grenade Launchers to the Federal Government
Can no longer equip Bayonets, Mounted guns can no longer be .50 Cal or Higher

Departments had .50 cals?

I want to shoot one.....

[Xno Kappa]

Wow what the fuck do departments need 50 cals for lol? That's the type of shit I used to use as a crew-served weapon in Iraq for convoys.

[Blubbartron]

Obama's been a mixed bag of good and bad, but this is a really good step. The militarization of our civil police force is and has been a serious problem for quite some time now. Next step is in backing the training away from military tactics. Needs moar deescalation.

I honestly can't think of a use for them
