Outrage as Waco, Texas biker fight is compared to Baltimore
Daily News ^ | 5/18/15 | NICOLE HENSLEY

The deadly gun battle among several factions of biker gangs in Waco, Texas has social media users questioning the civility of its police intervention in the wake of Baltimore and Ferguson’s uprisings.

“They’ve recovered at least 100 weapons,” Deray McKesson, a high-profile activist wrote on Twitter. “The (National) Guard would be mobilized now if, black.”

With photos showing detained members of the criminal motorcycle gangs plugging away at their phones as police calmly stand guard, activists are quick to point out the disparity of the situation.

Life must be a very dreary place for you with all those “WHAT IFS...” swirling about your brain. Things are bad enough without conjuring up “WHAT IF...”

All three instances had violent reactions.
The response is the difference. In Ferguson and Baltimore, the response was confused and withheld. This allowed the situation to escalate and require National Guard. In Waco, the response was immediate and decisive eliminating the need for the National Guard.
Look at the press conferences after the fact.
In Ferguson and baltimore, you had all of the media sucking political whores trying to get microphone time, and said nothing. In Waco, one spokesman who was direct, to the point and answered most all questions in his original release.
Gee, I wonder if the political leanings of the three cities made any difference? If nothing else, competence comes into play and is very much on display showcasing the various cities.

“Can’t discriminate.”

You sure as hell can have a dress code and a behavior code. If you don’t believe me I can direct you to several restaurants where you cannot come in wearing shorts, jeans, or maybe you have to wear a tie.
No biker sleeveless jackets with organized crime logos.
ANd they do not like to go to such places because they insist on wearing their jackets.

Its legal 100%.
