Let the storytelling begin!
What?
Can we have a publlic review of the RoE again please?
12 shots by 3 cops killed 9 people in less than 15 seconds.
12 little bullets on the wall,
12 bullets in all.
Shoot one down, load a round,
11 bullets left in all.
What? This info just released?
But....thank you very much, the narrative has already been cut, pasted, judged, decided and spread like chocolate frosting all over the blogs by the deciders that the cops don’t get their side of the story!
Now comes this! No fair! What to do, what to do? (Hand wringing)
No cops story, I tell you! It’s got to be a LIE!!! LIES!
No, it’s not! It’s a conspiracy!! That’s IT! A conspiracy!

First of all - selecting single shot is not disabling the weapon.
Second - Earlier it was 4 officers that fired
Third - How many bikers fired?
fourth - How many kills made by officers?
Fifth - Did any other government employees or informants fire? What agencies? How many rounds?
Sixth - How many undercover officers and informants were on the scene?
Seventh - What was the officer in the red cowboy boots doing on the scene? Was he previously in biker colors at twin peaks?
Why were they using automatic weapons anyway, and how do we know they were switched to single-shot? Cops have certainly been know to lie.
Hmmm.
It’s Friday afternoon.
So, LEOs fired 12 out of 44 that were fired from
150+ weapons at the scene, someone wasn’t paying attention.
Absolutely no way the cops fired only 12 rounds.
The idea that a bunch of cops have that kind of trigger discipline is ludicrous.
“weapons were stashed in between bags of flour in the restaurant’s kitchen”...
I’ll admit I’m somewhat jaded-but this is sounding like a script for either Sons of Anarchy or El Senior de los Cielos-a Telemundo series about narco mafia types but without the bikes-I can hardly wait for the next episode..

More - including full statement.
The story implies the Chief is referring to the Twin Peaks PD.
Weren’t there other law enforcement agencies on the scene?
A highly decorated Marine says different. He says he saw cops firing into a crowd of bikers and he heard assault rifles. I’ll believe the Marine over a cop any day.
Shooting for accuracy is necessarily an semi automatic, not full function. Where have the initial reports that all nine dead bikers were shot by police? This is getting strangely twisted.
“44 shell casings from the scene. Police also said that 151 firearms were among the hundreds of weapons recovered from the scene”
And three cops fired 4 shots each. Well well well.
“As of this release, there are a total of 44 shell casings recovered from the Twin Peaks scene. This number does not include the revolver rounds fired by non-law enforcement shooters. Those casings are still being counted. 12 of those casings were from the rifles of 3 Waco Officers who discharged their weapons in defense of their selves or a third party”
So 44 casings recovered with no pistol rounds counted as of yet. Of the 44 12 are by the Waco PD. I hope I read that correctly. That would leave 32 rounds fired by other agencies.
“disabled their automatic rifles so the weapons couldn’t fire more than one round per trigger pull”
Great reporting.
