Because they're white, outsiders, and handy as hell when you're needing to blow off some steam. Plus, who knows what cultural or procedural faux pas the crew may have made in their initial contact with the mob? It is precisely this type of mentality that could have preceeded the shooting at the core of this event. You look the wrong way at someone, say the wrong thing, or even wear the wrong clothes, and you're already on their shit list
