In my admittedly limited personal experience, unrelated to things I've read or seen on TV, biker gangs are harmless while police are very dangerous.
Maybe in the limited context of their participation in a big bike rally the biker gangs may generally behave unless provoked. But I don't think you'd get much agreement that they are by any definition harmless.
"In my admittedly limited personal experience"
Of course I know that some biker gangs are uber-violent purveyors of the worst kinds of drugs.

1 person hit by a car
3 self-transported to the hospital for anxiety
8News sources have reported that two people are dead, but police have not confirmed this information yet....
8News sources are also reporting that four firearms were recovered on scene....
A witness told 8News they heard at least 30 shots fired....
Thomas Jefferson High School also had a graduation scheduled for later in the evening, but it has now been cancelled.
All Richmond schools have been closed for Wednesday, June 7.
This is supposed to be a joyous day when our kids walk the stage and get their diplomas, which is what they all did here today for Huguenot…and then this tragedy occurred,” Richmond Public Schools superintendent Jason Kamras said. “I’m just tired of seeing people get shot, our kids get shot. I beg of the entire community to stop.”

Sadly, with a lifetime record of only 3 killed and 23 wounded over 17 years, he would be minor news today.
Local anti-hero, living about 80 miles from me.
... The FBI were ultimately contacted, and on April 3, 1996, outside Lincoln, Mont., Kaczynski was apprehended, his tiny cabin found to contain bomb materials and journals detailing his attacks....
By the late 1960s, Kaczynski's writings harboured fantasies of committing violence, and in 1971 he moved to the Montana cabin, subsisting largely on handouts from his family and a few odd jobs. He occasionally ventured to the nearest town by bicycle, often to spend hours at the library, and he once visited a neighbour to find out what the date was....
I often drove through Lincoln. We attended the same Missoula speech by a Zapatista rep in the mid-1990s. I did not know that he was living at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, NC since 2021.

An Ohio dad accused of executing two of his sons before he "hunted" down and shot the third appears sitting calmly on his porch in bodycam video as responding deputies find the children's bodies scattered around his lawn.
Chad Christopher Doerman, 32, is being held on $20 million bail for three charges of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of his three boys, ages 3, 4 and 7....
He is also accused of wounding their mother in the attack....
Thus qualifying as a mass shooting.
Seems there were some warning signs. Ohio does not have Red flag law.

The Bay Area’s Alameda County, which includes Oakland, had the most deadly highway shootings of any county in California between January 2020 and April 2023, with 11 killed in freeway shooting incidents during that period, according to California Highway Patrol data analyzed by The Standard. Los Angeles County — which has six times as many people as Alameda County — was the second worst in the state, with six people killed on its highways.
I elected not to partake, going to the beach later. There's been helicopters loitering off and on since 6 am. Not sure if they are security or news choppers but the local Facebook groups weren't happy, and I have to admit they were triggering.

Highland Park strong.
I'm not mocking, but it's a sad sign of the times that "trauma-informed approach" is a thing and "Trained English- and Spanish-speaking crisis counselors" and "Therapy dogs" are needed.
Now now, pessimist, at some point everyone will be dead.
Behind every cloud.
But no, that's not pessimistic, it's realistic. There is no viable, workable path of actions that can be taken to make it better. Sure "we" could elect different congresscritters. Liklihood of happening - practically zilch. Any scenario in which meaningful actions are taken leads to "nope, won't work because..."
