Re: [emrat:2533] Smokin Guns Motorcycle Club

I thought it was a little odd as well. Not so much that a LEO club exists, but the emulation of the "outlaw" clubs.  

I also thought it was a little odd that EMT's are included.  Nothing against EMT's, as I think the job they do is amazing, but they are Emergency Medical Technicians and health care providers *not* LEO.

Perhaps there should be a "Smoking Snakes MC" for those in the Health Care field with "

Primum non nocere" and 100% on that back of the vests :)

That's why we need to do the exact opposite. Collared white shirts, regimental ties, and a picture of the Queen emblazoned on the backs of our jackets.

So am I think only one who thinks its odd that there is such a thing as a "law enforcement motorcycle club?" 

 

Cops adopting the dress, mannerisms and lingo of self-described "outlaws?"  I guess I just don't get the attraction. 

 

Of course, that's not as funny as the "Sons of Armageddon" whom I saw at the Childrens Toy Run in (I think) 2010 or 2011.  They, too adopt the trappings of a so-called "outlaw" biker group, complete with a beret-wearing skull superimposed over crossed pistols,  but actually go so far as to adorn their vests with a "99%" patch and to require potential members to undergo police background checks.

Subject: [emrat:2529] Smokin Guns Motorcycle Club

Recently, I drove alongside two guys on bikes heading east on Sixth Avenue through Denver who were wearing leather vests with this patch:

And the patches reminded me of the conversation that I had back at the end of October with a male nurse who was prepping me for my rotator-cuff surgery at the outpatient clinic.

 

Of course, we were talking about bikes and riding!

 

He told me that he was a member of "Smokin Guns" as he had been an EMT prior to becoming a nurse.
