This is a very good point that I have made several times in noting that Waco PD were sitting in their cars when the first shots were fired.
Incompetence or malice? I try to be careful in attributing the latter.
Not really knowing much of the facts of 5/17, I find what is known about the aftermath to be both interesting and troublesome.
Most interesting recent development is that, as far as I know, Reyna has gotten no guilty pleas. Every single one (maybe 50?) who have been arraigned want to go to trial. Statistics I read indicated that only 10% or so of indictments result in a trial. Regardless, it isn’t 100% and Abelino has quite a heap on his plate.
The troublesome we have discussed quite a lot.
