Bikers’ lawyers say the police acted professionally and saved lives that Sunday!
Started by the bikers.. concur shxt happens.
It could have been prevented but wasn’t:
In parking lots surrounding the Twin Peaks restaurant just off Interstate 35, 16 police officers, including a SWAT team of 11, were poised with assault rifles in five police cars and two unmarked SUVs. Seven state police officers, some undercover, were inside the restaurant or nearby.
Evidence that prosecutors gave to lawyers who are representing the bikers shows local and state authorities had overwhelming intelligence that violence was likely and did little in advance to prevent the meeting.
Four of the nine people killed in a melee between rival biker gangs outside a Texas restaurant were struck by the same caliber of rifle fired by Waco police (.223). Two died from the .223 rounds the other two were hit by other rounds as well.
Bikers have criticized the way police dealt with the incident and believe the ballistics findings prove that officers made the situation worse.
“I think they handled it badly,” said John Wilson, who was at the shooting and is a chapter president of the Cossacks. “I think their first responsibility is to be a deterrent to crime, not to set up and hope they get to use their rifles.”
