You can lodge a civil suit but generally broke people who are in jail are pretty judgement proof.

Biker gang is not broke by definition. The debts are expected to be paid after you leave the jail, with interests sometimes and you can collect on them. It can create endless circle of issues for formerly incarcerated people.

That being said, this sounds more like "disordered violence police is unwilling or unable to control" then anything to do with legality or justice. I can steal from your wallet, not be caught and it will amount to the same thing.
