The 'bike lock and chain' argument came from the 1960's back when people said that punks would fight swinging safety chains with a bike lock on them as a flail during riots... it was an old thing involving improvised weapons using common everyday household objects to justify police brutality.

I still remember one time police argued a few other everyday objects were also used as gear by rioters, including a metal walking cane of all the damn things... police are right now repeating the same propaganda and deceit used back then to justify killing innocent people.
