not so sure about that, remember the incident in ...Dallas?... when they surrounded the guy on the bike, then left, then the guy was pulled over and "arrested" basically because he had a camera the cop wanted. that guy could have been armed and it could have gone wrong there too, granted not as wrong as SUV wrong, but still....

They surround vehicles, then hit their brakes much like "swoop and squad" tactics used in major Texas cities to set up civil lawsuits. Apparently, these NY bikers aren't interested in a lawsuit, but want an excuse to damage vehicles and/or commit assaults. This isn't the first time this has happened.

Police investigation to this point indicated the assault victim was not at fault in an fashion and was not an instigator. He didn't run over anyone until he and his family were threatened and even the NYC PD is supporting the victim's position. Apparently, the victim didn't have the option to avoid anything, he was driving along and found himself surrounded.

Chas.
Ive read that these gangs single out high end vehicles with a family in them and use the brake check or just roll back into the vehicle to cause a bump then surround the car and demand money. This is highway robbery through fear and intimidation.


maybe this incident will make them think twice?

I also saw on the news last night an interview with the wife of one of the bikers in the hospital "oh, he was trying to help the driver"???? right and she knows this how???? last I heard he's been in a coma since the incident.

Re: Disparity of force (Motorcycle Gang Incident in New York

yeh, they just said on CBS that the bikers were organized and planning stunts during the day....Chief Kelly also said they'd given out lots of tickets and confiscated over 50 bikes before that incident, so the bikers knew they were being watched, they just didn't care and were being extra aggressive.
