If you ask Paul Looney, a Houston defense attorney, about the Twin Peaks biker case, he’ll tell you there’s one person who knows more about it than anyone else alive: his trial-preparation specialist, Roxanne Avery. An entire wall of her home office in Norman, Okla., is covered with wallet-size mug shots of the nearly 200 bikers arrested, as well as photographs of the nine men who died that day, seven years ago, after a violent brawl in a Waco parking lot. Each picture is layered with Post-it Notes and details about the subjects: ages, road names (Cheech, Chain, Drama, Sidetrack, Saint, Mad Dog, Pee Paw, Bubba, Bubba Earl, Bashful, Yogi, Reno, Creeper, Grumpy Dan), club affiliations, ranks, descriptions of injuries (“Bullet entered neck, partially exited”; “Paralyzed from the waist down”; “DEAD”) and any other pertinent information (“I met him March 2018”; “9mm Glock”; “U.S. Army — 2 tours Iraq”; “Convicted felon”; “Shot dog?”; “Did not see anything”; “Graduate Baylor University w/ English degree”). Point to a random photograph, and Avery will generally be able to squint and tell you something about the biker in question.
“There’s a rumor that he killed somebody,” she said one morning two years ago, tapping a face. “I don’t think it’s true. I know these guys.” She wore a large black onyx ring and brilliant cherry red lipstick; one of her Chihuahuas, Bonnie, padded by in a white dress with a red bow. Moving to a large computer monitor, Avery began to click through crime-scene photographs, many of them graphic close-ups of dead bodies. “So he’s got a gunshot wound that you see is in his face and his eye,” she noted, pausing at a particularly grisly image. “The other one entered through his back and exited out.”

Remember that A hole Mike Nifong, and the Duke lacrosse players? That was corruption too.
“some cops woulda been charged”
In this new reality? No negros shot, no foul.
By not prosecuting or convicting anyone?
As far as I can tell, it was ONLY Law Enforcement killing or injuring people.
There wasn’t enough evidence to prove that. Additionally, Waco refused to release the ballistics reports on the deceased - to the point where they literally dropped charges rather than release the ballistics reports in several cases.
What does that tell you?
This incident predates the current state of affairs by several years.
The problem with that scenario is the fact that Waco never released the ballistics. There is no evidence that the gang started the shooting, and the lack of ballistics reports tends to indicate the cops don’t want to demonstrate that *they* did all the shooting.
That’s only for guys on Harleys. Not how it works for non-Boomer type motorcycle clubs. :P
Don’t have to prosecute when you have snipers.
The groundwork was laid long ago.
Cops do not get prosecuted. Period.
Not always the case in Texas, fortunately.
How many lawsuits against the city are pending?
Everyone in both gangs was probably an FBI CI.
It wasn't law enforcement who was videoed running through the restaurant waving and shooting guns while patrons were trying to have lunch. It also wasn't law enforcement ricocheting bullets off the nearby residential neighborhood homes with kids playing out in the yards.
Waco is just some kind of special place.
IBTG lectures us all...
It may have been law enforcement. Many of those “ricocheting bullets” were later found. Waco refused to release the ballistics reports on those too.
A *LOT* - Waco also went ahead and auctioned off all the vehicles they impounded pretty quickly, not waiting for trial.
You probably believe the FBI had no assets involved in actively helping the Gov. Witmer kidnapping act in Michigan and in Jan. 6 in DC, too.
You are clueless, I can tell. You believe all law enforcement wears prominent badges and has a tell-tale “look.” You also believe they aren't malicious or can't make stupid decisions—or both.
In short.... it was an op.
