Well, the difference was in Baltimore the cops stood down, and the riots went on for days. In Waco, the cops unloaded on the crowd, and the thing was over in minutes.
Law enforcement in Waco laid down a brief but merciless fusillade.
No surprise that the surviving biker gangsters sat down and cooperated.
In Baltimore the cops were ordered to get injured — and not fight back.
Anyone got any stats on blacks, whites, Asians, and Hispanics committing crimes and their % of the population please?
There IS a double standard:
Black rioters had robust, national backing from professional Grievance Mongers, the Prez, the national media, and the US Justice Dept. Accordingly, they were left free to wander screaming, given “Space to Destroy”. Virtually NONE were shot while they were on their rampage of destruction.
Meanwhile:
The bikers had no media or Gummint allies, had no immense propaganda machine backing them up. Accordingly, the police felt they had a free hand and shot them down. SWAT team members armed with military rifles equipped with optical sites shot them in the head and neck.
They didn’t have a chance, and no quarter was given.
Please accept my apology. I have been working on several project and have been out of the loop. What actually happened at Waco. I thought two biker gangs went at it.
