I thought the comment by this Waco Police Sgt. Swanton was interesting:

"34 years in law enforcement, this is the most violent crime I was ever involved in".

So I assume he wasn't around when the Waco Branch Davidian mass murder of 76 men, women and children by the Clinton/Reno regime happened?

Maybe he’s saying “I wasn’t involved at Waco”

How can they prove who did what to whom?

From everything I remember and have read about the standoff, the ATF and FBI along with Janet Reno’s Justice Department ran the entire operation. If the locals were involved it is pretty certain it was on the extreme periphery.

So it is pretty likely he was not involved.

I just hope none of the “Wild Hogs” were involved.

The Branch Davidian raid was not a crime. It was proper police work.

I’m getting really tired of his mouth. The more he opens it, the more I’m thinking there’s a whole lot more to this story than is being reported and what’s being reported is half truths and he’s covering up something.

Who was involved in the deadly Waco biker brawl?
WTH cares? It's like asking - who was involved in Baltimore; who was involved in Ferguson, etc?
Point is - the fewer there are of all the scumbags, the better off America will be.

I don’t get worked up over who shot who. You get a gunfight of biker thugs and lowlifes going on right out in public, and the Texas police are going to clamp down on it without mercy. And that’s just the kind of law-enforcement that has always gone on in this state. A tale as old as the hills. And I like it that way.

****************

You would be correct as far as his involvement with the incident. However, he started
as a cadet with the Waco Police Dept in 1980. Waco city limits is a few miles SW of the
Branch Dividian site that the feds handled thus no city involvement.

The question for me is why the Department of Justice is involved in this. Watching CNN makes it look like the search for organized crime is coming about forty years late.

The Branch Davidian compound was not located within the City of Waco and their police department had no jurisdiction in the matter. While it was within McLennon County, the County Sheriff was also excluded from participation. Facts often get overlooked when painting with a broad brush.

More than 170 people were arrested on charges of engaging in organized crime in relation to the shooting which, Swanton clarified, constituted “capital murder.”

Is this hyperbole or is there actually a possibility that 170+ bikers could be convicted of murder and given the death penalty?

“Deadly Waco biker brawl”

They say that like it’s a bad thing.

I actually hope I’m wrong but I’m guessing this was more a cops killed bikers deal than bikers killed bikers

There is a lot of bullshit going on here from all angles

The original media reports which till today are just the same regurgitated original reports don’t add up

While Waco gets the bad rap, that was outside of town.
