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.

Seems to me you’re looking for facts that confirm your deeply held beliefs that police are bad. It’s called confirmation bias. But I could be wrong.
Yes. You are wrong.
About that.
Say, FRiend. Did you see my next post to you? Maybe you know where I can find that info?
“I still can’t believe there were “families” with children at a “soft” t***y bar. Yes, Twin Peaks is a step below Hooters.”
I bet the Waco Twin Peeks was packed on Mother’s Day.
In Texas criminals get space. But that space is usually a cell or a plot.
The only ones killed, wounded and arrested were bikers.
It's not like they attacked innocent bystanders, like the Indian owner of a nearby convenience store or a passing truck driver. It doesn't even look like they shot at the cops who were shooting at them.
The Gov spends billions at the NSA, FBI, ETC and didn’t know this was going to happen? What good is all that money doing?
Gee I feel safe from all the jihadis they are letting into our country. Don’t you?
“How many of the Baltimore rioters were arrested? Waco arrested almost 200.”
Comparing Texas to Baltimore is like comparing a throne to a toilet. They do their jobs there.
Difference here is only bikers were killed or wounded so no great loss, in Baltimore many innocent people were injured and had property destroyed.
As for "robots" I have no idea what that's about.
That’s true; and I crassly overlooked that.
I was wondering the same thing. Did the police start the firestorm?
I’m not implying anything, FRiend. Just looking for information.
Here’s the issue that I’d like to get your help with: early reports were that the attackers were armed with AK-47s with 75 round drum magazines. Some here have said that is not the case and that at least one of them was armed with a 9mm keltec carbine.
Question is — which is it? or was it something entirely different.
Police today use small “robots” — mostly for investigating suspected bombs. Photos at the scene showed one of them on its side and later, it or another appears to have sustained damage to the point of having lost one of its wheels.
I want to know what happened. Thought you have the experience and contacts to find out.
The picture I saw didn’t match any scene I would expect to see at a massive shooting. It reminds me of Newtown Elementary, not Luby’s Cafeteria.

I doubt if the police started the fracas.
The gangs involved were the Bandidoes, Scimitars, and Cossacks, but now they are saying possibly two other gangs were also there.
Ain’t nothing more confusing to a baby than being in a topless bar.

Maybe they figure they ‘died and went to heaven’ or were trapped in an enormous feeding station.
If the ‘boy babies’ get excited, they would be deemed normal and if the ‘girl babies’ get excited, the name Chastity may ring a bell.
