Since it's been established that he was an undercover agent, and has been identified as having infiltrated Cossacks MC, it is highly unlikely that he would not have been carrying a concealed weapon, even before he was photographed holding a rifle while standing next to a uniformed LEO.
One account had it that red boots had entered the Twin Peaks restaurant with the rifle, as part of LEO reactions to the incident.
How many shots did mr. boots fire from his own personal carry weapon (if any) before picking up a rifle, that possibly was made available to himself by some other LEO?
The way he's holding it in the photo (and he's been traced to have been past member of a LEO rifle team, if those accounts are correct) it looks like he's carrying at ready-arms use, like it was his own rifle, or one which he was familiar with.
All your jackassery lol'ing and posting photos of persons with their pants hiked up to the top of their boots is what comes across as desperation, Princess.
It seems to me you don't want anybody to look at LE actions and involvement, other than to repeat the same spin Sgt. Swanson put on everything.
Yeah, and CPE got zotted alright, for taking after a well respected freeper that goes by the name don-o.
You had been going along with that too...
In fact, you may have inspired the attempts at character assassination of individuals here like don-o.
Which is why I've been going after you, swinging for your head.
I can't stand your garbage, Princess. Everything you touch in regards to this subject, you've filled with poisonous baiting.
All this trolling you've been doing must be making your panties wet, if you are not a LE agent-troll (which I still have reason to suspect may be the case). It could be making your panties wet even if you are a LE troll.
You're new operative code-name for these latter-day Waco threads, is now "Puddles".
Learn how to treat men like don-o with due respect, and you'll possibly find some amount extended towards yourself, in return.
Until then, Puddles, more than a few of us here will continue to regard your comments as the garbage they typically are.
This little dweeb from Pasadena 
- 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 –
which you keep re-posting.
Drug trafficking as some point of tension between the two groups? Multiple newspaper reports? Based on what exactly? Actual arrests, and trials which show the proof, or is it more like LEO's simply running their mouths? I supect the latter, which is approximately on par with "hearsay" evidence, since all we've seen is the dweeb saying there have been multiple reports as for drug trafficking having been some kind source of tension between the "crews" as the dweeb put it. The other factors, colors, and a Texas bottom rocker, along with there having been recent violence (most of it apparently initiated by Bandidos) there have been multiple newspaper articles and 'police reports' concerning.
Whatever it is, the drug dealing "conflict" angle is news to us here, and could be an LEO exaggeration, if not more along lines of out-and-out fantasy of sorts, but possibly repeated among LEO's as if there is any degree of real truth to it, beyond possibly an isolated clique within the Cossacks MC who may possibly have been in some way involved in drug trafficking, beyond low level use and distribution on the part of *some* Cossacks(?), like, one of those who was killed in Waco allegedly having some sort of meth-related substance in his system.
One the other side of the ledgers, LE orgs have long been known to have withing their own memberships, officers who ride dirty, deal drugs, and have more than a little contacts with gangs, as in being in cahoots with them, for whatever mixture of reasons.
In Northern portions of Mexico, police have been outgunned by those gangs, and so must go along to get along, or else be murdered. Some 40,000+ Mexicans in the last ten years (or is it the last 15 or 20) have murdered, with the greater bulk of those deaths being attributed to drug trafficking --- on the Mexico side of the border.
One this side of the border, nowadays, the Mexican cartels and the loosely affiliated Tango Blast type of gangs, don't NEED white-boy bikers like Cossacks to do their drug mule-ing for them. Look at those guys. Are there many Mexican-looking actors in the Cossacks MC? There isn't.
There are in the Bandidos though, just sayin'. This Cossack MC;
simply do not have the same history of organized criminality & violent crime that is attributed to Bandidos, Mongols, H.A., etc., even though the MC has been in existence in Texas, since 1969.
How about the Iron Order MC? Are they all criminals too?
One of their members, a 'prospect' as it were, was attacked by several members of an MC who call themselves Black Pistons. One of the attackers was shot dead by the prospect who was under attack.
Law enforcement in Florida cleared the Iron Order prospect of wrong-doing. As far as I can tell, it didn't necessarily have anything to do with the fact that Iron Order has many LEO officers as members, openly known to be LEO's too, not acting as undercover infiltrators sent to root out bad actors.
Yet still one can wonder, since Iron Order MC is known to have began, to a large extent as an Law Enforcement Officer MC (but is one which is open to those not LE, unlike the Blue Knights ,and some other Law Enforcement Only MC's) if that was not part of why the Black Piston jerk-faces initiated the contact & assault that day in Florida.
A human being can still act to protect themselves in this nation. From what I hear, Cossacks that day responded to those of their own MC being assaulted by some number of Bandidos. Some nunmber opf Cossacks died, either at the hand of Bandidos, or else shot by LEO's, and even both.
In Puddle-world, is attempting to defend oneself, and one's own friends and associates ---- illegal?
Should they have all just stood around and watched Bandidos assaulting, and even killing their own fellow MC members?
I don't believe a blanket prohibition against persons acting to defend themselves has been active in this nation since select groups of white racists in the Deep South would gang up on negroes, assault them, and possibly have those who acted to defend themselves be prosecuted for daring harm their attackers.
