Platters, right?
If you think the Mongols are just some group of guys who are misundertstood then you lack a basic understanding of who and what they are and always have been
“Photos from the scene showed bikers wearing the insignias of the Cossacks, Bandidos, Scimitars and Vaqueros.”
In case you thought they were just out for a toys for tots run
“None of that has anything to do with anything I have ever posted.”
As the keeper of the Waco threads, I just thought you would like to be kept informed of the facts.
“In case you thought they were just out for a toys for tots run”
Not very publicized but the cops ‘evaluate’ the bikers leaving after dropping off the toys. Amazing how many bikers think it is cool to bring guns and meth to toy run for kids.
“In case you thought they were just out for a toys for tots run”
According to this that is where it really started.
In the case of Waco, the idea that the entire thing was a false flag cooked up by Waco to cull the herd of biker outlaws ignores the very real and documented context that led to the meeting. And that context is a bloody feud between the Bandidos and Cossacks that needed no “outside agitator” to turn it into chaos.
According to multiple police statements and newspaper reports, the tension between the crews goes back nearly a year, and is over drug trafficking, respect taxes and colors – all familiar issues in the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs. Hostilities appear to have begun when Bandidos members beat Cossack at a Toys for Tots event on December 6. Then, a week later, three Bandidos burst into a bar and opened fire, killing a Cossacks member. In March, there were multiple fights between the two clubs, including a Cossacks group beating and robbing a Bandidos member, then several weeks later, the Bandidos returning the favor with a beating of a Cossacks rider. All of this violence is standard when dealing with biker feuds, epics conflicts that have seen men executed wholesale, sometimes by their own club.
So any conspiracy theorist’s idea that the Bandidos and Cossacks were just getting together for an amiable brunch over mimosas and crepes is simply wrong.

Since the late 1970’s there has been a 15,000% increase in SWAT team raids in the United States.
Peace Officer is a feature documentary about the increasingly militarized state of American police as told through the story of William “Dub” Lawrence, a former sheriff who established and trained his rural state’s
first SWAT team only to see that same unit kill his son-in-law in a controversial standoff 30 years
These events are contextualized within a growing national phenomenon of violent SWAT raids and governmental immunity laws gone amok in the War on Drugs. Officers both in cities and small towns like Dub’s are routinely armed with military surplus weapons and equipment, and federal incentives to use what they are given. All of this has lead to a 15,000% increase in SWAT team raids in the United States since the late 1970’s. Peace Officer follows Dub as he obsessively picks apart these cases from his unique perspective that combines the zeal of a rule-of-law detective with the grief of a victim.
“I think life would be a lot greater if I could attract somebody.”
So I see you don’t want to discuss the merits.
But that is SOP.
The merits!

Ah, and you are the winner?
Spending 14 hour days here, spinning your yarns.
Just waiting for the Pizza Hut to close and you get off.
Money ... so they say ... IS the root of all evil ... today ...
Clearly you are not interested in what the former Sheriff has to say about police militarization.

“Clearly you are not interested in what the former Sheriff has to say about police militarization.”
Clearly you weren’t interested enough to even post a comment for me to respond to. If he had something to say, you should post it.
I don’t go on fishing trips ...

Dub should be greatful that his son-in-law didn’t kill his daughter or grandchildren.
Dub’s SIL had previous cases of violence against Dub’s daughter.
The ‘film’ site says the SIL was a danger to no one!
LOL. He had fired his gun in an argument with Dub’s daughter BEFORE the police got there.
The stand-off lasted twelve hours. He was killed when he fired his gun.
