Comment section on one of the discussion forums mentioned this:

“Witnesses reported hearing as many as 100 rounds fired from 30 guns.”

Now, how would a witness be able to know how many guns?

I think I remember hearing a number of police officers at something over 20.

>> Guys with guns on motorcycles.. A very mobile and organized force. <<

Actually not very organized. Melee yes, squad combat no.

Despite all the old biker movies, individual heroics (or stupidity) aren’t going to be terribly effective against combat troops trained for terrorism and insurgency.

No, I thought I had the link, but it appears what I downloaded was the Police audio during the assault. I have that link.

I read that the video was from the parking lot and that there was not video inside the restaurant. Except one small section near the office. Not sure I could find the article that mentioned that. Have looked at a lot of them over the past couple of days.

The owner of the restaurant gave copy of the video to AP. Protection, he has been taking a blame beating by the Waco police.

I’ll go back and review what I saved as links.

The press coverage has been maddening how they change the script as they go along. Same with the Waco police.

By the way, the Waco police was given the parking lot video from the very beginning. It is explained in the article about the video.

I am concerned we are seeing the “agenda” that someone is feeding in the press.

No sir, you have done us all the justice of showing us exactly what you stand for.

Not only will you blindly believe everything you read when the circumstances are right, but also, you have more than enough of the characteristics that leftist freaks love to ascribe to conservatives.

Nice try but that’s a strawman....btw...i courtesy pinged your girls

However if proven cops didn’t shoot these guys or proof they fired on cops first

Hell I’ll do a vanity admitting my error

Check my posting history

I admit when I’m wrong and I don’t talk tough and hide behind anonymity

I can ping at least a dozen fellow Freepers vouch for my veracity...it’s not coincidence the most offensive here are unknown freepers

The nasty Freepers here are rarely known....like the south bashing posse....some of whom btw are here on your side in this affair

NEVER DISCLOSE any frame of reference

If I’m wrong call me out cause I hope I am wrong

I like Texas....lived there as a boy....as a young man....one ex fiancée...from Anson.....Dallas is my big city go to.....kinfolks in Upshur county...my cousin was a Cowboy Cheereader....and we had a big lease northwest of Burnet for a decade......my Goddaughter is in Lumberton....my incredibly dependable right hand man is from Galveston

And Squantos is in panhandle

I got plenty reasons to adore Texas

And I don’t hate cops....I’d like to think they were cool....I know plenty who are but I do question the militarization and so many black guns these days

It just smells like Weaver and Waco....btw...some of your bream here openly applaud Waco...I find that incredible....even back then and FR had more libs than now....it was scorned

So I’d love to be wrong

I think offhand simply the cops were trigger happy

And it jumped off and now they are controlling release of facts to their advantage

By blanket overcharging and bond craziness and confiscations pell mell

Regardless whether justified kills or not.....most of the overcharging etc will fall apart

Thanks for posting the link.

From the article: Published reports indicate that Waco and McLennan County could realize more than $3 million from the sale of motorcycles and cars seized at the crime scene”….

Who is the criminal organization, now?

I'm thinking as the story continues to fall apart there will be a bunch of freepers who will quietly change their handles in shame, but not this one:

The Waco cops did fantastic. And the prosecutors and judge are matching them.

I think this one's the real deal -- cops never lie and are always justified, and if you're not a cop or their family or friends, then you're probably a criminal like all the rest.

They'll be kapos when needed.

Rookies gotta train somewhere....

Eric Holder cut his teeth and incinerated women and children there.

From another mentioned website:

Waco Massacre Aftermath

http://www.agingrebel.com/12889

“Swanton seems committed to a version of events in which only four of the 22 police officers on scene discharged their weapons.”

I wouldn't count on it. Most if not all these jackboot lickers are shameless despicable little people.

That’s right! I’d forgotten about Holder’s role in that. Boy, he really trained well for Fast and Furious!

"The Waco cops did fantastic. And the prosecutors and judge are matching them."

Weren't you on a similar thread calling for the indiscriminate killing of bikers, so as to send a message? What happened to due process? If you think it's okay to kill Americans without due process, like I said before, you are one sick puppy.

Pray you never find yourself on the receiving end of the treatment you would suggest for other Americans.
