If he was undercover that day he would not have been off duty, would have done something, calling in back up and he would not have waited three days to inform his superiors. Thug biker cop, fessed up when he got scared he would be IDed. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
Off duty participants, bystanders, or undercover agents is the question to be answered. If they are members of these criminal gangs, they should be fired or even charged appropriately. These are not exactly happy go lucky motorcycle clubs. I love this part: "He didn’t want to blow his cover,” said the source — though the cop was not investigating the group of bikers. Yea riiiiight asshole. If he was really an undercover cop on duty, as one would be in such a situation, then he should of intervened. But I am going to guess he wasn't. Agreed. Looks like a bad cop who likes to run with thugs on his days off. |

The weird cop/ bike gang thing apparently has white and black wannabe thug cops He still could have said "whoops left the iron on" and ridden off instead of pursing and if questioned by thugs claim that he had open warrants or is on parole if they did not know he was a cop.

Groups of four or five guys in leathers is one thing.
Packs of guys in jeans, casual shoes and a chest protector over a t-shirt is something else. They are to be avoided at all costs in my experience.

Undercover and off-duty cops were among the bikers that chased Alexian Lien and his family. Lien, tried to flee angry motorcyclists who attacked his vehicle. They later caught up with him, beating and stabbing the man in front of his family. A pair of NYPD detectives rode last weekend with the motorcycle mob that battered a Manhattan dad as his terrified family watched, a source told the Daily News.
The two cops apparently waited several days after Sunday’s brutal assault before informing supervisors about their involvement in the high-profile case, the source said. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/celebrity-lawyer-gloria-allred-represents-biker-injured-suv-driver-attacked-upper-manhattan-article-1.1476093 Well that explains the beat down. |

I must thank and applaud Extorris for his frank and honest appraisal of the condition of law enforcement in NYC. Not just in this thread, but others as well. How or if we project that same assessment to our more local LE agencies remains for each of us to decide individually.
Human nature at its core is self serving. Instead of finding fault with the NYPD, I realize the flaw is more endemic. The same mentality exists at all levels of government and law enforcement. It all comes down to greed and lust for power. It is why our government is as fucked up as it is. It is why things will not get better, but we are headed for decline. The lesson is to not put your full faith in your local LE. They are limited by manpower as well as the human nature part. Find family and friends where your trust is not wasted. |

This was a Black Urban Biker Gang, not adrenalin junkies out on their fast toys for a thrill. These guys were thugs on bikes, no other way to describe it.

If you wear a vest with a 3 piece patch while riding with your crew, then you are representing as a gang. May not be your intention, but when you ride fast, break laws, are patched and try to look menacing, you will be looked at as a gang. I have been involved with investigating and intelligence gathering of motorcycle gangs over the years and although I understand the allure of them to your average motorcycle rider, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to imitate them once they see what they really are. I believe Sons of Anarchy has created a huge poser movement of gangster bikers, especially in the black community which has exploded with urban biker gangs riding Jap bikes and acting like street gangs on 2 wheels. |

Just saw on my local news, there were 5 NYPD cops in the group of bikers, and "several" corrections officers. 2 of them were off-duty detectives, who witnessed the beating in wash. hgts., and did not attempt to stop it.
Also, Mr helmet-smash, Reginald Chance, just turned himself in to the 33rd pct. |

In this area at least. I am very fortunate. Where I live and work, the local and state LEOs are for the most part, pretty solid guys. If you treat them with respect, they'll treat you the same. I've seen WVDPS troopers putting hand cuffed prisoners into the back of their cruisers, calling them "Sir". Now, if you fuck with them, they'll fuck you back. Badly. You don't want to be on the receiving end of their fucking. |

Doesn't anyone have problem with the fact that the Bloomberg police received over 200 911 calls about the gang. <= I'm quoting the commissioner himself.
But not one cop car showed up to do something before the gang started doing stupid Sh*t and things got out of hand? I'm glad I don't live in NYC...Nice job Bloomberg! Keep up with your anti-gun crusade and we'll see how that goes. Incompetent police commissioner, even let the thug punching the car window go...stating he was trying to help the wife and kids. Say, Wouldn't pulling the fellow biker away from the SUV be more helpful? I don't see how punching car window would help... |
