Oh thank you and god. I was hoping you were available. I'll check into getting you a "ride along" with me that weekend.

The only problems I have ever seen with the Angels are usually centered around dumbasses provoking them, and other MC clubs getting into turf wars with them. They are not out to confront LE, but if another MC Club shows up that they are having a disagreement with, they will go after one another hammer and tongs, ala Laughlin a few years back.
Not saying that they are model citizens or are not involved in some shady business, but by and large, they are not inciting trouble except in the above circumstances.
Best of luck, be safe, and keep your eye out for small problems before they get big.

By and large I completely agree with your assessment. Our only issue will be if some enforcement action needs to take place and the HA's want to stand up for there brothers.
I share your thoughts on keeping small problems small before they esculate. Fortunately, cops around here are not used to working in non-permissive environments. As such that leaves a lot of LEO's lacking the necessary tact it takes to negotiate certain situations that may arise.
Either way it should be fun.
