Despite the characterization by police that the afternoon gathering at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas that led to Sunday’s bloody shooting incident was a gathering of criminal biker gangs with violent intent, the meeting appears to have been a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues.
The group that met was the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (CoC&I) and a look at that group’s website and history gives a very different impression of the group’s purpose and goals than what has been said repeatedly by Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton.

Agent provocateurs?
Oh that’s just crazy talk.

““WELL the British PRESS have already discovered the FIGHT started by a POLICE GANG DETECTIVE,who was wearing club colors he didn’t belong in,and when he was cornered in the bathrooms,HE STARTED SHOOTING,and when the other bikers FLED into the parking lot the BIGGEST GANG IN AMERICA WAS WAITING,…TO KILL THEM…..”
That runs counter to the eyewitness accounts that are public.
The remainder of the 7th Cavalry Regiment arrived, led by Colonel James W. Forsyth and surrounded the encampment supported by four Hotchkiss mountain guns.[6]
On the morning of December 29, the troops went into the camp to disarm the Lakota. One version of events claims that during the process of disarming the Lakota, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant to give up his rifle, claiming he had paid a lot for it.[7] A scuffle over Black Coyote's rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in the 7th Cavalry's opening fire indiscriminately from all sides, killing men, women, and children, as well as some of their own fellow soldiers. The Lakota warriors who still had weapons began shooting back at the attacking soldiers, who quickly suppressed the Lakota fire. The surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many who were unarmed.
By the time it was over, more than 200 men, women, and children of the Lakota had been killed and 51 were wounded (4 men, 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead at 300.[4] Twenty-five soldiers also died, and 39 were wounded (6 of the wounded would later die).[8] At least twenty soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor.[9] In 2001, the National Congress of American Indians passed two resolutions condemning the awards and called on the U.S. government to rescind them.[10] The site of the battlefield has been designated a National Historic Landmark.[5]
“Where did you see this ? and this is not out of the realm of possibility”
Eyewitnesses (Twin Peaks waitresses) have gone public with accounts that directly refute what the dude posted unsourced AND counter to what the National Coalition of Motorcyclists (parent of the Texas coalition that hosted the event) have stated.
“F” off jerk ... don’t post to me
“What is your LE name, Gator? You sure do seem to be quick with the PD spin.”
Huh? I posted from the Texas Coalition of Clubs and Independents website.
Straight dope. No spin.
““F” off jerk ... don’t post to me”
Truth hurt that bad?
You wouldn’t know truth if it hit you in your humming bird ass. I’m not a veterinarian but I can tell a pussy when I see one
“The National Coalition of Motorcyclists and all of its local affiliates are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred on May 17, 2015, and are praying for those involved and their families. Immediately prior to the start of a Texas affiliate’s monthly meeting, a motorcycle club that was NOT a member of the Confederation of Clubs arrived with over 50 people and attacked members of the Confederation.”

I smell pork
I think you have a good point in referencing Wounded Knee. These biker clubs are organized in a similar manner to the Plains Indian tribes of the past. The people were of the same tribe, spoke the same language, shared the same culture, but were broken into bands with different leaders. Some bands (chapters) engaged in violence (crime) and some did not. But when the crap hit the fan they became one. Among the tribes there were individuals who often committed actions that led to the detriment of the entire group.
If the Waco cops, inspired by the BATF, took on the role of the U.S. Army at Wounded Knee in 1890 then the war on cops has only now begun.
Good info...did you include all the Bandido “puppets” on that list?

Like the Region 9 Chairman: Desperados (a 1%’er).
“The owner of the restaurant really should have let the police be present. “
The police knew the groups would be there and they were stationed around the restaurant, including their swat teams, before the riders got there.
I read, of the eight killed, seven were Cossacks and one was Bandido who got in the line of fire. Sounds like the Cossacks were targeted by cops and Bandidos.
“The police knew the groups would be there and they were stationed around the restaurant, including their swat teams, before the riders got there.”
The police had warned the restaurant of the high probability of a gang fight but they chose to still host the gangs.
“I read, of the eight killed, seven were Cossacks and one was Bandido who got in the line of fire. Sounds like the Cossacks were targeted by cops and Bandidos.”
But the bikers here are saying that the LE were after the Bandidos and that the Cossacks were undercover FBI.

I don’t see a 1% patch but the back of the jackets looks like an approved 1% design.
