Illinois Cops Form Biker Gang
ATF not amused
On-duty, they are police officers who took an oath to enforce the law.
Off-duty, they formed a motorcycle club that looks like it supports outlaw biker gangs…
The Outlaws, an infamous motorcycle club known for violence used to protect its turf.
But when Melrose Park Police Sgt Nunzio Maiello founded the Reapers motorcycle club in 2005 he "actually reached out to the outlaws,a motorcycle club that's been labeled a criminal enterprise by the justice department, to essentially ask permission to ride so there wouldn't be any altercations," said BGA Investigator Andy Shaw.
