“It appears the public defenders office in McLennan County is involved in this scurrilous activity,” said Paul Looney, a Houston attorney with Looney & Conrad, P.C. “I’ve never seen anything like the lawlessness that the authorities have perpetrated on these people and now to add insult to injury they are trying to cover their own tracks in exchange for bond.”

The source is from the lawyer but if true then Waco is in a heap of trouble. Of course, since ATF was involved the usurper will have his revenge on Texas.
I take it all the deaths were caused by the police after all?
Well, what do you know...?
Talking some serious money if most sued and won. Don't sign it!
The “Waco Stench” continues to grow.
I’ll wager that this lawyer will not be silent about his trying to meet with the D.A. this morning.
This is an hypothesis I have, which explains and joins most of the various versions of events, including PD and non-PD witnesses. Of course, these are all rumors at this point. But this theory does tie up most versions in one plausible explanation.
It’s a given that ATF and Waco SWAT were already on scene, around the Twin Peaks, both in uniform and undercover, or concealed in vehicles.
It’s been stated in numerous accounts that a scuffle first broke out in the bathroom. Some allege that an undercover cop was wearing “false colors” into the Twin Peaks and was called out over it in the bathroom. IOW, the u/c false biker’s cover was blown. In the bathroom, it became heated, and the u/c cop pulled out his pistol, “badged up,” and tried to get out of the restaurant. Angry pushing ensues, possibly involving other brandished knives/pistols.
On the Waco PD tactical radio channel, all of the SWAT officers outside are hearing, “Officer in peril! Officer is being assaulted! Officer in trouble! Officer has weapons pointed at him! Officer needs help!”
As the little crowd (u/c cop with blown cover, surrounded by angry bikers) emerges from the Twin Peaks onto the parking lot, the already-present SWAT snipers have drawn beads on the Cossacks around the u/c false biker cop. The SWAT guys know who the officer is by a “telltale” such as a unique bandanna etc. They see knives and or guns being pointed at the u/c officer as he tries to flee the scene, his cover utterly blown.
One of the SWAT snipers perceives that the u/c cop is in immediate danger, and shoots one of the Cossacks who is holding a weapon, dropping him. After the first shot is made, it’s a case of “sympathetic shooting.” This was first discussed after the NYPD shooting of the unarmed Amadou Diallo in 1999. Basically, once ANYBODY fires a shot, all the cops will empty a magazine. “Shooting is shooting,” the brain just perceives a battle, not a one-way massacre.
So each of the SWAT snipers, firing scoped semi-auto carbines or scoped bolt guns, “takes out” one or more of the Cossacks around the “officer in danger.”
In the aftermath, the Waco PD has to cook up an alternative “gang war” story to cover their own disastrous actions, from sending in an u/c biker whose cover could be blown, to having a SWAT team on a hair trigger waiting outside, to the ensuing “sympathetic shooting” sniper massacre.
In this case, ballistics and blood trails will tell the tale. Even if the Waco PD tried to sanitize the scene, CSI-wise. Even if the Waco DA tries to strong-arm all 170 arrested bikers into signing “no lawsuit” gag agreements under threat of prison and financial ruin.
The above is just a theory I’m positing, a theory that to my mind explains all the known facts.
The truth will come out.
Everything you said is gonna come out right.
Blackmailing them is obviously a fear tactic. And a judge who refuses bail without a scam?
Would say that the Dershowitz Away Team is already packing their bags for a big payday courtesy of the citizens of Waco...who may never stop paying for this.
Wow, it’s starting to look like the reason the only ones killed were bikers was because the only ones shooting were cops.
This latest information was reported to an attorney representing at least one of the detainees. “It appears the public defenders office in McLennan County is involved in this scurrilous activity,” said Paul Looney, a Houston attorney with Looney & Conrad, P.C. “I’ve never seen anything like the lawlessness that the authorities have perpetrated on these people and now to add insult to injury they are trying to cover their own tracks in exchange for bond. I will be in the reception area of the McLennan County D.A.’s office tomorrow morning at 8:30 with the intention of not leaving until we have the issue of bond resolved.”

When District Attorneys Attack
National Review ^ | May 31, 2015 | Kevin D. Williamson
If this is anything like what it is starting to smell like... Well, it isn't looking too good for the LEOs involved in it. They had better be thinking about coming forward and cutting a deal in exchange for testimony, or if they fired rounds - finding a *very* good defense attorney. At the very least, anyone involved in that had better be considering a career change.
Hard to believe that a judge has the temerity to make such a weasely demand.
It has always been held that contracts or agreements signed under duress/coercion/extortion are invalid.
We’ll see if that holds true this time.
On June 7th, there is to be a biker ride in Waco in support of those arrested and killed and to show the cops they will not be intimidated.
In Baltimore, a bunch of those arrested were released after 48 hours of detention when they could not figure out what to charge them with. Seems like they they were able to recognize that they had a problem going forward and cut their losses.
Some lights seem to be flickering on in Waco now, two weeks out.
Alan Dershowitz experienced this extortion decades ago. Such tyranny should result in the people proposing it being driven from office.
Give up your rights or remain in jail is about as clear an example of extortion that exists.
I think there is something in the Constitution about the right to bail...
It is the 8th amendment.
“Excessive bail shall not be required, no excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
If all the shooters were cops, if it was in fact a “sniper ambush” using an u/c fake biker cop as “bait” for a provocation, then every cop involved in the shooting could face murder charges down the road.
This will cost Waco untold millions.
ummm... huh??
“we’ll let you go if you don’t sue us for arresting you in the first place”
the judge is admitting the arrests were invalid. wouldn’t continuing to hold them compound the error?
either way, they should reject his offer and sue the crap out of them after this admission
No deal.
