What you've stated here is an often-repeated view of biker gangs, so often as to be cliche, and part of what permits their frequent abuses of power.
This is just what I've observed. Every encounter I've had has given me that impression. Personally, I avoid the gangs, mostly because I don't want to be associated with their stigma, but in all honesty, I usually hear people talk about them like they're the scum of the earth, rather than honour bound businessmen.
Yes, innocent people do get involved unnecessarily, but it's also true that police shoot innocent people (and dogs) on a somewhat regular basis. Some people are just unlucky.
