OFF THE WIRE

Anthony Mills, a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, filed suit April 6 against 11 Colorado defendants for an illegal traffic stop that lasted more than an hour on April 8, 2018,
The defendants are the municipalities of LaSalle and Greely, Colorado; the Weld County Sheriff’s Office; Lasalle policeman David Miller; LaSalle Police Chief Carl Harvey; Greeley Police Officers Cantor, Otto nd Corles; Weld County Sheriff’s Deputy Decker; Garden City Police Officer Johnson; and Pfficer Tienes of the Kersey Police Department.
According to the suit, Miller saw Mills and another Helss Angel and “decided he would pull them over to harass and terrorize them” because he “greatly disliked those associated with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and was eager to personally participate in all of Northern Colorado law enforcement’s continued harassment and intimidation of members in this group.’

The Suit

“Knowing his intent was unlawful, Officer Miller attempted to mute his body-worn camera for the interaction, in violation of his office’s own written policies. However, unbeknownst to him, he was unsuccessful in doing so. As a result, all the Defendants’ unlawful behavior was recorded by Officer Miller’s body-worn camera….”
“Officer Miller and the other on-scene Defendant officers then began loudly discussing how they were going to hold Mr. Mills and his friend for as long as they wanted (‘I have no problem holding these mother fuckers until Greeley gets down her’), their agreement that they would engage in this unlawful conduct because Plaintiff appeared associated with the Hells Angels (‘I’m good, I mean, we get to fuck with HA’) and threatening to tase or kill Plaintiff if he moved (,I’m shooting him! I need some paid vacation!’).
“The Defendant Officers unlawfully seized and terrorized Plaintiff for over an hour. All Defendant officers on scene materially participated in this unlawful extended seizure in violation of the Fourth Amendment and throughout also violated their duty to intervene to stop Defendant Officer Miller, and one another, from ceasing this terrifying abuse of police power.
“The actions of the Defendant Officers.” The lawsuit continues, “were part of the custom, practice and training at all the Defendant law enforcement agencies to harass, intimidate, unlawfully seize, and regularly violate the civil rights of any member or associate of the Hells Angels motorcycle club.”
LaSalle and Greely are south of Fort Collins and about 50 miles north of Denver.

Information War

There is a deliberate, ongoing, organized campaign to discredit and harass members of the Hells Angels in the greater Denver metropolitan area. Last November, 14 people were arrested and charged with violating Colorado’s organized crime act, along with other criminal violations. Most of the evidence appears to be based on the testimony of confidential informant named Joshua O’Bryan The arrest were made using militarized police. During the arrests, one man was shot in the chest with a door breaching round.
ust last month, Sam Tabachnik of the Denver Post published a sensational and one-side4d account of O’Bryan’s expulsion from the Hells Angels. The Post story was based on police sources.
