What about the other 199 suspects? What are their backgrounds?

I got about 2/3 of the way through the OP and gave up. I know that it's difficult to grasp, but if the bikers at Waco were throwing rocks and charging at the police the very different scenes from that

There is no comparison between Waco and Ferguson, to try and compare the two incidents and the police response to each one is silly.

Where exactly is the right to get home on time enumerated? Or is that a God given right? I'm asking because next time I get stuck in a traffic jam, I want sue the hell out of, well, traffic.

He must have been the one that cause all this trouble. Looking at the mugshots, all the other fellas look like good Murkans.

You know Lib is happy as a pig in right now. All the other dudes were innocent bystanders. We got the REAL criminal right here...

it will stop when they all retire.

:(

Why is that important?

It isn't, that's my point...

It shouldn't make a difference. That guy who shot the dude in the movie theater over texting? He was an ex cop. http://nypost.com/2014/03/13/former-cop-accused-of-killing-man-over-text-was-also-texting/

Hell, you might find lawyers and doctors in this group. Ex military, ex law enforcement. Would that make it any less tragic?

But you feel it should be. I wonder why?

I don't think it should be. Unless you're going to trout through the other 170 member's background and post it for all to see. Not you, but the media at large.

just read this.

Katie Rhoten told The Associated Press that her husband ran for cover and was later arrested, along with antique motorcycle enthusiast friends and other "nonviolent, noncriminal people." Authorities swept up around 170 bikers who had descended on the restaurant for what one club member described as a gathering to discuss laws protecting motorcycle riders.

"He's good to his family," she said. "He doesn't drink; he doesn't do drugs; he doesn't party. He's just got a passion for motorcycles."

McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara and Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton declined to comment Tuesday on allegations that innocent bikers were arrested. Police have said the gathering of five biker groups was to resolve a dispute over turf.

The eight members of Theron Rhoten's group, the Vise Grip Club, specialize in building and riding vintage and antique motorcycles, particularly pre-1970 Harley Davidson big twin choppers, according to spokesman Brian Buscemi.

Buscemi disputed the police claim that the meeting was to resolve a turf war, saying groups had planned to discuss laws protecting motorcycle riders at the meeting, which he said has been going on bimonthly for 18 years.

wonder if it's been going on 18 years at the same spot - that should be easy to confirm.

are you totally unaware that retired cops can still carry?

The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a United States federal law, enacted in 2004, that allows two classes of persons—the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer"—to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions.
