Biker Thug or Innocent Victim of Waco Police? Watch & Decide!
Breitbart Texas ^ | June 16, 2015 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 06/16/2015 11:25:51 AM PDT by don-o

The controversy over the Waco 170 continues as mre info comes out about the people who were arrested after the deadly May 15th shooting incident outside a biker event in Waco, Texas.

Now with this exclusive interview with one of the arrested, you can make up your own mind.

Did the Waco police overstep their authority and arrest innocent people? Or did they do the right thing and bust over 170 dangerous bikers?

It’s one thing to read about it. Watch our interview with Matt Clendennen and if you can figure out who’s telling the truth: the police or the bikers?

So you’re asserting that the original melee could very well have been started by a family who was simply eating breakfast?

Not unless they were eating breakfast in the parking lot. Silly, really.

I am not interested in who was released. The cops did their job. Big Woop. Have a cookie.

I am interested in who was arrested without probable cause off a duplicate affidavit, placed under a $1,000,000 bond (evidently with NO reference to the normal standards of setting bond), and continue to be slow walked through a process that could have been accomplished in ten days, max.

See my tagline, because that is exactly how I feel about this and if I was getting hosed like some of these guys are, I would want people raising hell for me.

Freerepublic is not a place for your kind.

The hatred that is boiling off of your lying leftist keyboard is a bit more than anyone I know of here is willing to tolerate.

Too bad we can’t just vote you off this island.

>> “A tad tamer than nine dead bodies with hundreds of gang members in attendance.” <<

.
Nine dead bodies, every one caused by an unnecessary LEO bullet being fired recklessly into a crowd.

Do you dispute that the veterans and religious club members were not arrested?

Well after reading other post's here, it appears you don't have your facts straight.

I have always hated your tagline. The Waco threads are giving me a grudging respect for it.

All that may be true, but this meeting went bad in a hurry.

The meeting hadn't even started.

Just like anything else, the few ruin it for the many. But places like Sturgis and other large rallies are different, it would seem. You have thousands of bikers, not a concentrated gathering of hardcore guys who don’t like each other.

Last time I went to Sturgis, there were 500,000 bikers in the immediate area, from Hell's Angels to Headhunters and from all over the world. Clubs tend to congregate with their own, and everyone knows where everyone else is. It is an area where there is a general truce, just like ABATE meetings, and a host of other functions--including CoC meetings.

Try pitting the arrest record for Sturgis any given year against that for a town of a half-million (in August), keeping in mind that in Sturgis it isn't unusual to see a police officer every 100 feet on main street (They make a killing and come from all over to be there), so there is no shortage of LEOs to arrest and process anyone who needs it.

It isn't like someone aerial sprays pixie dust to keep the 'eeevil bikers' in line, it is just the way it has always been.

Club business is handled out of the public eye. Period.

If the tent revival brought the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s together under one roof, then yeah. You’re tempting fate.

It they are there to worship Jesus, the problems won't happen in the tent. They'll sort it out later in the hills, not down by the river.

not to mention the owners of the prison...

Does it seem odd they just happened to have 170 (long term) vacancies?

CoC's (CoCI's) are open, neutral ground, and that's why it was advertised.

Several CoC members including the lady who organized the meeting have said the Cossacks were not invited. Cossacks are not CoC members.

Nothing at your link indicates the CoC regional meeting was open to the public.

I don't need it to defend myself against all the keyboard warriors out there in cyberland.

Court jury's are now made up of "keyboard warriors" from cyberland.

And the mood of the country regarding punitive government control is rapidly changing.

Welcome to my Ignore List.

Interesting...I see facts, evidence and logic are already on it.

Right. Because the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are 1%'ers who routinely deal in robbery, extortion, drug trafficking, murder for hire ...

No one is "presuming" anything. You put the police on the street in Baltimore for a reason, and for exactly the same reason when 1% MC's are having a confab.
