UPDATE: Waco “Twin Peaks” Shootout – All Charges Dropped, Not a Single Successful Prosecution…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com ^ | 4/2/2019 | SD

After four years of seriously sketchy prosecutorial conduct, likely trying to cover up the number of people killed by police and SWAT units as they shot into the crowd, the McLennen county district attorney has dropped all charges against the bikers involved in the Waco “Twin Peaks” brawl.

A lot of people lost everything, including their marriages and their health.

How much is just compensation, for that?

Please do not hold your breath.

That stuff was tossed down the oubliette, long ago.

you forgot, leaked selfie porn from seized phones to embarrass defendants.

And the officers shot at least one man who didn’t have a gun and let a man walk who they witnessed kill a man execution style.

No rhyme or reason to the carnage of the targets that the police shot at that day. And no desire by the investigators to charge police in the deaths of any of those men.

I will.zay cover up outright, and your complete idiot diatribe completely ignores that to this day the government never provided to the defence of any defendant the complete recordings of the event.

Under the Brady law, they are required to do that. Period. No equivocation.

This isn’t a misunderstanding.
This isn’t overwhelmed.
That’s not a mistake.

If you bother to go back to the articles published the third day after the event, eye witness testimony was contradictory as to how things started and who did what initially. Eyewitness testimony was consistent, however that long after the shooting stopped and the scene should have been declared secure law enforcement was still not allowing medically trained personnel who happened to be on scene tender aid to the wounded.

People bleed out who didn’t have to die.

There is a reason that those recordings were suppressed even though that meant that the guilty must go free with the innocent.

I strongly suggest that you spend some time with a dictionary.

Look into the history of the term “cover up” and how it is normally used.

After that, you might want to reevaluate whether or not this was one.

don’t think the cops shot anyone who wasn’t firing a weapon. Does anyone making that claim have ANY evidence showing that?

Now there is a false statement about this event if any has ever been made. Prior to the violence, law enforcement installed black recording boxes on poles in the parking lot.

Under the Brady law, the footage from those devices is required to be released to the defense. The results of the early trials were overturned because it exists, and was not provided to the defense

and to this day it remains secret from the defense, and from the public.

You sure about that?

Years ago some Freeper tracked it down and shared photos of him and his real name.

I been telling you guys for four years this would take ten years and some low level flunky would get a wrist tap and that would be that. Read Kent State or Ludlow Massacres. There is the formula, limited, modified hangout. 6 years to go.

Those weren’t cops. It was a straight up hit. Every would was a .223. I have been through the autopsies. ONE biker was shot in the gut with a .38 but it was the .223 to the brain that killed him. It was straight up murder. But, no. No one will ever go to jail. There will never be any trial. The public will never see the evidence.

No, the formula is modified, limited hangout. Which is a cover up.

Pretty sure he was one of their under cover guys. There were two conflicting names in the first days as I recall.

There will be civil suits. So they will either turn over the Materials or pay...

Well, most likely they’d pay after turning over the materials anyhow so they will just keep stuff hid and pay.

Listened to far too much of that loud mouth over this case.

Yep[ - and one dude with “Texas” in his screen name was constantly telling us how all bikers were hoodlums and deserved to be strung up ...just ....because....I think he got scared by loud pipes when a child and never got over it....

MileHi: Thanks for putting this out...I remember “debating” with TG because of his rabid belief that because they rode bikes they had to be guilty as sin and even if the Feds had set it up and killed more people than the “gangs” did, it was justified....he really must have been scared by loud pipes as a child and never matured enough to get over it.
