"Four weeks after the deadly May 17th shooting incident outside a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant, more details have come out concerning the incident, but significant questions still remain about the actions taken by law enforcement and the police’s account of what transpired.
Although the national mainstream media has largely moved on from the Waco story, if critics of the police are correct, the incident represents an unprecedented civil rights violation and media cover-up campaign by the Waco authorities....
...In a statement on Friday, the police said that of 16 officers that were in the parking lot, only three fired a total of 12 shots. However, the statement still didn’t clarify how many of the bikers were killed by police. Authorities say they have not recieved final autopsy results that would clarify ballistics...."

You should give a damn about any citizens possibly murdered by cops en masse and then covered up
I suggest you spend some time and read what you can on this before spouting off
Breitbart is a great place to start
That three tour Iraq war vet said he heard three handgun rounds between what he thought were one Bandido and a group of Cossacks who were not invited to the pow wow
Followed by a barrage of long gun fire from the direction of LEOs he suspected as M4 variants
Cops continue to insist the bikers opened fire on them but none of the evidence we know backs that up
Three weeks now
Not one cop or cop car with bullet holes shown
Not one video released
Not one cop injured
200 bikers on crazy charges at one million bail
About 35 released so far on insignificant bond reduced from original one million
ALL telling eye witness recounting far different from Cop Version
Something ain’t right
Tom Vinger, a Department of Public Safety spokesman, said Texas Rangers assisted that day with “documenting and securing the crime scene, conducting interviews, and processing vehicles” and are helping in any other ways they are needed moving forward.

They were there.
************************************************************************************************
The squirrelly writing might lead the reader to believe that they were there PRIOR TO AND AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING...but it may be that the Rangers were only called in AFTER the shootings (to help with crime scene processing). Based upon the unclear writing, it’s anyone’s guess.
Wondering who the good ‘ol boy in the white Stetson is?
Thats the way is reas alright. Again, is that all the Texas Rangers have become. “We will call you when the shooting is done so you guys can handle the paperwork.”
Lots of folks cheer when they read about the police massacre of a despised fringe group like nasty, evil, dirty bikers.
They would cheer just as loud if it was a 2nd Amendment rally riddled with police gun fire, as long as the media called it a “Tea Party terrorist meeting.”
Actually, they would cheer if the SS was goose-stepping down Main Street in black uniforms.
The U.S. is starting to look like Northern Ireland in the 1970s. It may not be the U.S. Army patrolling the streets, but the cops sure look like soldiers, and they are dressed for war. The cops at every level have been militarized. Them seem to have declared the American people to be the enemy.
Thanks for the link and video. We can be sure that law enforcement is not militarizing out of the fear of terrorism. If the Feds and other authorities were really concerned about terrorism then the most obvious thing to do would be close the border, and also stop immigration from moslem countries. The Feds and at least some state and local authorities are up to something else, and I believe the recent events in Waco were part of a field exercise designed to gauge local police complicity and public reaction. I suspect that right now the Feds are pleased with the outcome.
12 shots by the Waco PD? Hmmm, possibly.
Then....
How many fired by the BATFE or other government agents/employees? How many were present?
Do you believe that ?
“if critics of the police are correct” That is the key phrase in the article.
You know who the Texas Rangers are? The real ones, not the ball team. Whenever any major criminal incident transpires in Texas, the Rangers are called in to oversee the investigation.
The Rangers are the most trusted, most ethical LEO anywhere. Had the Waco police cooked up some cock and bull story, the Rangers would have immediately said it was not factual. The Rangers did not. This tells me that the cops are most like telling the truth.
It is a sad day when some FR posters see whatever benefit in using the very liberal tactic of covering up for criminals by accusing the cops of massacring defenseless motorcycle “club” members (who were just trying to have a nice peaceful meeting to discuss motorcycle safety).
All your other bike GANG sympathizer/apologist posters have failed in attempting to pull the wool over FR eyes by pushing their fantasy about criminal motorcycle gangs actions in Waco. You will as well, because you are trying to push a false narrative to people on a forum that are grounded in what’s right and have enough common sense to know shit from Shinola.
12 rounds. Target list complete.

****************************************************************************************************LIGHTEN UP, FRANCIS! Have YOU seen a report issued by the Texas Rangers? Until you do...and post it, or a link to it, here you’re blowing smoke. Meanwhile, blow it out of your ass you cretin...and don’t accuse me of “trying to push a false narrative”! If you spend a little time trying to get the BATF compliant Waco authorities to actually release some ACTUAL evidence you might shine some light on this dark event.
Again, blow it out your ass...and get yourself and your mental problems back to your boot licking!
He’s the sheriff.
Doesn't jive with witness reports of hearing automatic fire. Possible witness could confuse fire from numerous different guns as auto fire, but that wouldn't jive with 12 total shots fired. Still looks mighty fishy.
Yeah, it doesn't look like they were out for a Sunday stroll and just happened upon the parking lot. No, this was well planned out far in advance. They were there for a specific mission and they carried it out right in the middle of hundreds of innocent people at the restaurant and in the shopping center.
The WPD spokesperson is Sgt. Swanton. Do a search for quotes from him and tell me he doesn't change the story every time he opens his mouth.
only three fired a total of 12 shots.

Who knows. Apparently Waco police are saying that the SWAT members had their weapons’ selector switches set away from Auto. Even if true and they were on semi-automatic, rapid trigger pulls could be mistaken by “citizens” for full automatic.
