Then came a gag order in late June — approved by a judge who is also the DA’s former law partner. No wonder people are asking questions about what kind of behind-the-scenes cooperation is going on among judges, prosecutors and law enforcement in Central Texas.
We expressed concern in July after word came that longtime Waco police detective James Head would serve as foreman of the grand jury that likely will hear the shootout case. Can the bikers get a fair hearing under those circumstances?
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals could go a long way toward airing out this story by nullifying the gag order; it’s unclear how soon it will rule on that request. With so much suspicion permeating this case, the court would be wise to take the side of much-needed transparency.

Among the information that authorities refuse to release are the results of ballistics test that would identify whose bullets struck the dead and injured. The Waco police chief says officers fired 12 shots after bikers allegedly shot at them. Each time authorities avoid providing that information, the impression grows that many of the victims were killed by law enforcement.
Also illuminating would be the law enforcement dash-cam videos, along with other recordings including those from a camera hidden to document goings-on of the biker event.

Typo on date. Should be September 16
Is The Dallas Morning News a biker gang apologist blog?
I didn’t refer to them, did I?
Have fun with that I guess.
IBTG :^)
Possible, yes. But probable? Not all by its lonesome. That's the thing -- it is all so far fetched for bikers in the full context, that it's puzzling. It looks fake.
I liked the comments, especially the second one by Mike Smith.
“...No doubt some of the bikers who showed up at Twin Peaks that Sunday afternoon in May had the worst of intentions. This newspaper wants to see justice served....”
******************************************************************************************************
The only thing in the article that is “negative” about the bikers is the first sentence in the above extract from the article. And that is, AT BEST, merely an assumption which may or may not be true. I wonder if the idiotic “authorities” in Waco are getting advice from Mike NiFong and Marilyn Mosby (Baltimore city State’s Attorney)?
Yep.
Guess we’re living rent free in your head.
IBTGBAHA.
>>> “No doubt some of the bikers who showed up that Sunday afternoon in May at Twin Peaks had the worst of intentions.” <<<
Yeah, that sentence jumped out at me too. Too bad we don’t know the ‘intentions’ of the Waco cops and their ‘confidential informant’.
Wow — that Boogieman is sure original! {^)
Dead men tell no tales -- nine who might have given insight into intentions in either direction, never will now.
And 117 individuals with formerly clean records, now has an arrest record reflecting a very serious charge.
Good luck to them on the next job application.
The court doesn’t have to order anyone to gag. They’re gagging already.
Something smells really rotten in Texas.....
