@hells..angels.brot81: Exclusive video captures SWAT team members sawing through a security door at the Hells Angels club house in downtown Stockton as the entire block was closed off to the public with multiple police officers on the scene in armor. It is unclear if anyone was even inside the building. The investigation appears to stem from the Stanislaus County Sheriffs Office which also raided club houses in Salida and Turlock this morning. No details have been given as to why the motorcycle club is has been targeted. The Stanislaus County Sheriff announced that it is a "joint operation" with other agencies stating: "The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office Special Investigation Unit is currently conducting a joint operation with numerous local law enforcement agencies in and around Stanislaus County into outlaw motorcycle gang members. A press release will be forthcoming as information regarding this operation develops." While law enforcement is referring to the longstanding motorcycle club that originated in California as an "outlaw gang", many members we have interviewed in the past state the organization has been unfairly targeted historically and the acts of individuals do not always represent the purpose of the organization as a whole. More details will be provided as they become available.
