“Waco “Twin Peaks” Shooting Updates: 14 Police Officers Fired “thousands of rounds” on 200 Bikers Killing 9, Wounding 18”
Interesting how that gets twisted.
If you go to their linked source (the lawsuit) you see that
‘thousands of rounds were fired by law enforcement and gang members’.
It also claims the shooting started among the gang members.
“And all of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police.”
So you say.
“14 Police Officers Fired “thousands of rounds””
Minimum of five full mags per officer. Into a crowd of over 200. Yeah,,,, that does sound like an exaggeration. That’s a couple of minutes of sustained fire. Please,,,
Conservative treehouse has been all over this
The more it goes on the worse it gets
But any witness besides cops is locked up or shut up
Or dead
The truth is leaking out
A path to the truth I guess
Hey, Uncle Lonny.
I showed you how you got used by the treehouse when you propagated their distorted click bait.
Any thoughts?
Sounds like the hit ratio of the off duty HPD...
Free-Fire Zone (Houston Press Thursday, February 5, 2004)
When Harris County sheriff's deputies return fire, they really return fire. Especially if they're at a bar.The December 27 drive-by shooting at the venerable West Alabama Ice House didn't get much notice from the media, it being just another bit of the gunplay that tends to liven up a night on the town here.
But gee, it sounds like it was fun.
Three off-duty deputies were at the icehouse about midnight, and things seemed quiet enough. Then a 1992 Ford pickup truck screamed down the street, with two twentysomethings in it, one of whom started firing a .22-caliber pistol.
The cops tried to get the license plate but couldn't, so they settled back to their table. Soon they heard the telltale sounds indicating the truck was about to make a second pass. "By that time the guys had loaded up and said, 'If he comes back again, forget about it, we're returning fire,' " says Burt Springer, the lawyer representing two of the deputies.
And did they ever. Somewhere around 40 shots' worth. Investigators reportedly ran out of the little markers used to identify spent shell casings and had to borrow paper cups. Basically, Springer says, the deputies emptied their guns.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but…all the shots missed. The truck was shot up like Swiss cheese, but neither the driver nor the trigger-happy passenger was hit. They were stopped a mile or so later -- not because they were driving a truck riddled with bullet holes, but because they ran a red light.
(Deputies do have to keep up their target-shooting qualifications in Harris County, but those tests are not taken in bars.)
Sheriff's spokesman Lieutenant Robert Van Pelt says the department's internal affairs division is still looking into the incident, but Springer thinks nothing will come of it. Since no one was hit, the district attorney's office did not send anyone to the scene, making a grand jury review more unlikely.
Springer says the deputies had been at the bar only a short time and weren't drunk. Not that it would matter: "Even police officers who've been drinking are allowed to defend themselves," he says.
If only they could aim.
By the way, there was an apartment complex across the street from the ice house (behind the pickup truck).
