How are they to know who was brawlin and who happened to "ride up after"


They're supposed to arrest people who are breaking or have broken the law. They're not supposed to arrest everybody.

Same applies to shooting people. As difficult a situation as it may have been for police officers, they are not supposed to shoot anyone who isn't a threat.

This Swanton character seems shady as hell to me.

Reports on one of the bikers that was killed say not only was he not a member of and MC, he didn't even own a gun. Guy was a decorated Vietnam Vet.

Imagine if they had applied the same rules of engagement from Twin Peaks to the riots in Baltimore or Ferguson. The country would have had a melt down.
