A biker who was shot during the May 2015 Twin Peaks shootout but not arrested filed a lawsuit Tuesday in an attempt to recover his medical expenses.
William Richardson, of Lexington, was shot in the lower torso during the melee at Twin Peaks and is listed in the criminal indictments as one of about 20 victims of the 155 indicted bikers.
Richardson's attorney, Matthew Wright, of Rosebud, said Richardson, an employee of the Texas A&M University transportation division, underwent surgery and was hospitalized.
“Mr. Richardson had medical expenses from being shot," Wright said. "The lawsuit was filed to protect his rights regarding his injury claim."
Richardson's suit, filed in Waco's 74th State District Court, names as defendants Twin Peaks Investment; Front Burner Restaurant GP; former Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman; Waco police Detective Manuel Chavez; McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara; and an unknown officer identified in the lawsuit as John Doe.
The suit seeks more than $200,000 but less than $1 million.
The suit alleges officials at Front Burner, which operated the Waco Twin Peaks franchise, were warned by law enforcement before the Sunday afternoon meeting of the Texas Confederation of Clubs & Independents of increasing friction between the Bandidos and Cossacks motorcycle groups but hosted the meeting anyway.
The restaurant, which never reopened after the shootout, "went ahead with the promotion and hosting of the COC meeting in the hopes of securing profit, regardless of the potential loss of life or injury to people in attendance," the suit alleges.
The lawsuit claims the deaths of nine bikers and injuries to at least 20 others were compounded by the mass arrests "and wrongful detention of innocent individuals."
"During this period of detention, prior to transporting the detained off scene, neither law enforcement officers under control of defendant Chavez, defendant Stroman or defendant McNamara rendered aid to detainees who were injured nor did they call for emergency medical assistance," the suit alleges.
Richardson was not provided immediate medial attention by restaurant or law enforcement officials, the lawsuit claims.
"The plaintiff and several other detainees pleaded with law enforcement to call for emergency medical assistance or to render emergency first aid," the suit states. "After repeated attempts to secure emergency aid, a private citizen provided a pickup truck and offered to take the plaintiff to Hillcrest Medical Center."
Richardson doesn't know who shot him but claims the unknown officer referred to as John Doe acted intentionally, knowingly and recklessly by shooting into a crowd gathered at a public restaurant."
He claims that Stroman, Chavez, McNamara and Doe failed to take action to avoid a foreseeable risk of injury to others and used excessive force that violated Richardson's rights.
"There are pending criminal matters and civil lawsuits, and the city of Waco chooses to litigate these matters in the courts," Waco City Attorney Jennifer Richie said.
Attorneys for Twin Peaks and McNamara did not return phone messages Tuesday afternoon.
Classic undercover agent provocateur, used in every setup, as the slew of “I infiltrated a biker gang” TV shows proves, not to mention the movie “Beyond The Law”.
Same M.O., always.
Why people are not seeing this, I will never know.
It’s not as if they even bother to deny it, anymore.
Yeah, if it wasn’t so sad, I’d probably laugh with you but I like to think I’m better than that.
A wasted life is nothing to laugh about really.
It'd probably be easier to have Elderberry give us a ping?
Oh, wait, you were talking about somebody else -- somebody in particular.
The word frantically could have been enough clue for me...
When encountering the word desperate that should been enough to turn on the relatively low-wattage hovering-like [over my pointy head] light bulb...at first reading...
Sometimes, it takes me a little while to catch on, and catch up. The talk about pedophile gangsters (and no pizza?) had me wondering WITSBHIHTATT? (what-in-the-sam-billy-hell-is-he-talking-about-this-time?)
2 LAPD officers are charged with sexually assaulting women while on duty
The men threatened their victims with arrest if they did not comply with their demands and abused at least some of the women in the back seat of the unmarked police car they drove together, according to court records.
When current data is filtered to examine only incidents that can be classified as violent crimes as specified per the US FBI/DOJ Uniform Crime Reporting standards and then compared with the 2009 FBI/DOJ UCR Crime in the United States report as a per capita general population and per capita law enforcement basis the results indicate that overall violent crime rates are not too divergent between the two population groups with a difference of only 20.1 per 100k point between the two. However, there appear to be some more significant differences at a more granular level with robbery rates for police far below those reported for the general population but sexual assault rates are significantly higher for police when compared to the general population.

Police and EquuSearch volunteers spent days trying to find him. He finally turned up Monday, near the town of Brazoria, where investigators with the county district attorney's arrested him.
The DA won't say exactly where he was arrested or where he'd been hiding. Palmer was released Tuesday after posting a $75,000 bond.
He wasn't home Friday when we stopped by.
West Columbia residents we talked to said they're glad he's off the street.
"He's got a problem. He's a sick fella evidently. They certainly need to take care of somebody like that,"
Cop Repeatedly Molested Child, Sodomized Boy to the Point of Tears: Report Fellow Cop Says That Officer Who Was Reported for Child Rape is “Not a Danger”
An “attorney,” Brant Bordsen, wrote a letter on his law firm company’s letterhead telling the court that Officer Jared Tomlinson is “not a danger or a threat to society.”
He has been fired by the law firm for using their letterhead.
Bordsen was among the former co-workers of 30-year-old Jared Michael Tomlinson, convicted of preying on and sodomizing a child while living with a Gridley family. In a letter to the court arguing for leniency in sentencing, Bordsen wrote on company letterhead: “He is not a danger or a threat to society.”
The victim’s parents, and many others, beg to differ.
"Officer Tomlinson molested the young boy roughly two to three times per week, according to reports.
At one point, Officer Tomlinson sodomized the child so intensely that the boy started crying, according to reports.
He has been fired by the law firm for using their letterhead. It turns out that he used to work as a cop with Officer Tomlinson.

Cop Produces Child Porn on Duty, Forces Little Girl to Strip and Snaps Photos of Her
...Authorities say that the photos were taken at a home in Southeast Washington late Sunday night.Documents indicate that he went over to the girl’s house uninvited to speak with her privately, and while talking to the girl — who had previously been reported missing — he coerced her into taking off her bra and boxer shorts.
Court records say that Washington explained that he needed to take photos of her injuries, though the victim insisted she wasn’t injured.
He allegedly replied that it was procedure.
Washington then took photos of the naked girl under the guise that he needed them for identification purposes.
After the officer left, the girl told her mother what Washington had done; she, in turn, contacted police.
Prosecutors claim that after the girl’s mother made the call, Washington saw the 911 dispatch and started deleting pictures.
But enough pictures were found to make an arrest, and after Washington was taken into custody, law enforcement officials recovered more nude images of other young girls on his digital camera.

That's what they're calling the Po-Po nowadays?
TRUE STORIES OF RAPIST/PEDOPHILE COPS OUT OF CONTROL AND THE JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT FAILS THE VICTIMS
Take a look at the rogues gallery.
Anyone you know? Former colleagues? Do you resemble anyone in the photos?
They're all part of your "gang". The gang you "ride" with.
Never gonna happen. This suit depends on info coming out of the larger case which is never gonna be heard.
Or is merely a natural creep, and a wanna-be somebody special(?) hmmm...
Does the creature become more emotional when defending prosecutors, or police? "It" (the creature) began with being emotionally reactive over LEO's accused of doing all the shooting (which isn't the case, afaict).
Here recently, seems to get real antsy when State (County) level DA's office is criticized. It was vicious enough there at a few points I wondered, "is that you, Abelino"?
(reminds me of the religion forum in that way, come to think of it -- and that's not a good thing, not in regard to the combinations)
Not so dumb on other threads. An operator, or just a butt-hurt Princess Puddles who gets orgasmic-like when talking about how evil mean & dirty scooter trash are?
I can hardly make hide nor hair of "it". It is however, an everyday one of those round, puckered, stinky (brown-eyed) things that a notable long-time freeper (hehheh) had famously once asked it;
You know those Petition for Name Change notices that used to be commonly published in newspapers? In some States, it was part of the law, similar to Fictitious Business Name Notice(s) that a person would need to publish in order to make "doing business as" a such & such name be legal entity upon filing with a County, or State clerk's office.
I'd like to see "it's" name changed (by moderators) to EveryDay[*$$h0I3] ---but without the bracketed fakery.
Come to think of it, it could be applied to a more than few accounts, so they'd have to be numbered, like JohnDoe1, John Doe2, John Doe19, JohnDoe31, etc.
I wonder what my number would be. [<8^')
...that would be telling ... we want ...information... ...Information... ...InForMaTioN!
Thank you so much for pinning that badge monkeys ears back! It needed doing. The ‘gang’ he rides with...
Do you March with antiFA?
TG is silent on how Matcek engaged in organized criminal activity by responding to call to pick up a guy who’d been shot.
Fool is silent on the drug running by the pedophile pimping biker gangs.
Arrest the wives and kiddos too. They live off of I’ll gotten wealth.
Care to list the allegations of child abuse against the man who wasn’t at the shooting?
When did you join this gang TG? How many years did your father anally abuse you? Did your mother ever hug you? Are you a pedo because you never had a real childhood? Are you also Gay? Inquiring minds would really like to know how you became like this. Nothing to be done now of course but maybe something can be learned so it can possibly prevent a lifetime of mental damage in some poor young soul in the future.
You can’t counter my facts so you resort to calling me a pedophile all the while ignoring that your biker gangsters got caught with lewd photos of little children.
You have no facts and your father anally abused you.
Brown-eye, ARE YOU ON GLUE? or just being the "everyday" you-know-what-you-are? ya' know---A brown-eye?
What I am is a realist. That makes you nervous? Worried I may catch you guys out, and expose how you operate, are you? Or, are you just stupid?
"Some are calling them the new 'priests'..."
For all we know, one of the instances of alleged kiddie porn could have been; a guy's 20 month old niece and 3yr old nephew splashing around nude in one of those little wading pools people sometimes buy and put in the backyard to cool off the kinds on hot days...
...and the other (there were allegedly two, was it?) could have been pics of gals not over 18yrs old that had been published at some online peep called Just18, or something.
Or-- it could have been the really bad stuff that some sick weirdo's (including some sick weirdo LEO's) collect and look at. We don't know. But we DO KNOW that McLennan County DA's office made sure they mentioned the subject (and it made it into the newspapers) when they were making public excuses for having delayed the sharing of info for more than a year ---while they continue to drag their feet, delay, and string everything out as long as they can possibly get away with.
We also do not know that the porn stuff did not originate from, was not passed from an undercover agent to some biker -- by phone, if only sending links to bad, dark-web kind of underground internet in order to have planted incriminating evidence that was intended to be used at later date ---in order to squeeze somebody they thought would know who were the worst of bad actors within one of the MC's.

You’re stuck on something not Germain to this case. What is Germain is why were all those people, who were just bystanders, arrested and charged with the same crimes as those who participated.
Just for the record one more time, I have nothing at all against the police, and in fact support them 99% of the time. This is that 1% I don’t because something was very wrong that day and the police were complicit. I’m not talking about the regular uniformed officer just doing his job and following legal orders; I’m talking about those who were higher up the food chain who made an informed and conscious decision to act like they did and charge all those innocent people thus upending their lives indefinitely for no good reason.
You want to see the bad guys get what’s coming to them well so do I and that includes those who stepped over the line into criminal behavior who are paid by the taxpayers to uphold the law. So unless you’re afraid of us finding out the truth; you should have no problem with everyone following the evidence regardless of where it leads.
