I saw pictures of the actual raid on a sportbiker website I frequent. There were scores of flat-bed trucks with dozens of motorcycles on them and towtruck after towtruck with cars in tow. It looked like the cops were kicking ass and asking questions later. I have the utmost respect for law enforcement, but I feel that the raid on the hangout here was a little ridiculous. Perhaps the sergeant in charge was bored that night, or he/she had something personal going.
Apparently, some of the guys at the raid were "stunters", who ride their bikes to the extreme and were known to cause trouble here and there. If you want to go in and nail the troublemakers, do so. By arresting innocent people in the area (which included taking a 10 year old girl into custody!), you do nothing to help your cause. I can't see why a few squad cars couldn't roll into the area with their lights blazing and tell the loiterers to disperse or face arrest. Admittedly, I don't know the cop's side. I just can't help but feeling what they did was completely unnecessary and a tremendous abuse of power. I don't find it funny at all. -V -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Graeme [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 10:25 AM To: CF-Community Subject: 425 arrested at KMart http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/topstory2/1539629 A little funny, a little sad. -Kevin ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
