That was 2011. Now they have really cleaned up!

Despite the characterization by police that the afternoon gathering at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas that led to Sunday’s bloody shooting incident was a gathering of criminal biker gangs with violent intent, the meeting appears to have been a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues.
The group that met was the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (CoC&I) and a look at that group’s website and history gives a very different impression of the group’s purpose and goals than what has been said repeatedly by Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton.

ping for later
Everytime some cop shoots a dog or appears to shoot when he shouldn’t have shot, the cop supporters always say “Let’s wait and get all the details.” Seems we all should have said that about the shoot out in Waco. Only one biker seen on video with a gun. And I’m not sure he was even firing it. It sounds like the cops were having gay old time picking off targets. If that’s the case, they should fry.
And to arrest everyone of them is simply wrong. And patrons and employees not allowed to get their cars. My wife thinks this may have been a practice run. When they take over they’ll want all the gangs taken out first.
“And to arrest everyone of them is simply wrong.”
They didn’t arrest everyone of them. Some entire clubs were released.
“And patrons and employees not allowed to get their cars.”
It was a crime scene. Ever watch CSI?
“Everytime some cop shoots a dog or appears to shoot when he shouldn’t have shot, the cop supporters always say “Let’s wait and get all the details.”
When Treyvon Martin was shot, the cop supporters said “Let’s wait and get all the details.”
When Michael Brown was shot, the cop supporters said “Let’s wait and get all the details.”
“When they take over they’ll want all the gangs taken out first.”
You must be LE. All the bikers call them ‘clubs’.
If you have ever pulled targets in the pits you can tell rifle fire from handgun.

Notice the text under “3. The Cossacks Have Been ‘Flirting’ With the Hell’s Angels, the Bandidos’ Main Rivals.”
God, no, I’m not LE. The bikers call them clubs. The cops call them gangs. Therefore they would want to take all the “gangs” out first.
Then we should wait and get all the details on this.
They arrested 170. Notice they didn’t say they arrested them for carrying weapons. They arrested them on a “catch all” charge.
No, I don’t watch CSI. It’s not real.
Thanks for the ping.
The trained ear can tell ... untrained not so much
Family of Cossack Boyette that was killed do not blame cops.
Say that the cops took control early and probably saved lives.

Hey. They look like the local police!
Skinheads, little devil beards,... That’s the police look!
The restaurant wasn’t hosting the event. The event was to take place in the parking lot. There were too many bikers to fit in that restaurant.
The cop officer wanted the restaurant to put a sign outside saying no bikers colors allowed in the restaurant. That is what the cop meant when he said the restaurant didn’t cooperate. Any cop could have gone in that restaurant at any time - the restaurant was neutral, didn’t tell the cops not to come in.
