New video released of the May shooting that occurred outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas, raises more questions than it answers about what really happened that day. One of the biggest takeaways from the incident may be the nationwide media blackout on what could be the biggest story of police misconduct in 2015.
The May shooting left nine dead, four of whom had no criminal records in Texas. Over 170 bikers were immediately arrested on cookie-cutter charges and given $1,000,000 bail each.
The story immediately made national headlines as a "biker shootout" and Black Lives Matter activists were quick to jump on the story as an example of how violent white people are treated better by the police than black Americans.

Interesting how the flurry of stories of late seems to suggest the bikers as victims.
...Waco Police Chief Brent Stroman had said in June that officers shot a total of 12 rounds using the semi-automatic setting on their .223-caliber rifles.
My bet is that all the dead and wounded were shot be SWAT.

Police misconduct? Not possible! This is America, not East Germany.
A video released or AT LEAST ballistics could answer a lot of questions.
Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing.
You summed it up right there.
Suckers bet!
Why again should citizens trust the Police????
That's almost certainly incorrect based on many reports that have come to light. The question of how many were killed or wounded by the police and how many were killed by other bikers is a crucial point. I suspect that the prosecutor knows the answer which means that the fact that we don't know is not good for his case.
Trending towards East Germany. Police misconduct is unclear, but certainly possible and may even probable. As for prosecutorial misconduct that is no doubt. I hope that the real murderers don't walk at the end of all of this.
Short answer: No
Those with nothing to hide, hide nothing.
I have no curtains on my house windows, no doors at all, even on the bathroom, and my wife and I have sex on the kitchen table by the slider door. You could say I live by Dr. Phils catch phrase. I mean everyone knows we defecate, urinate and copulate, why hide it?....sarcasm off.....
I agree with you though on things pertaining to events that are public business. Privately, I hide plenty and it is a sign of mental health. ANYONE that goes in front of cameras and reveals all to a “so called” therapist, or TV personality is by that very act mentally disturbed.
I got a good laugh out of your post :)
I meant government and authority and people accused of something or those doing the accusing...along those lines.
you are RIGHT. There is plenty we hide in our daily lives, like the fact that every Thursday night I wear my better half’s dress and...well, that’s hidden :)
As if it would even fit over my left leg.
Oh, that’s just the way don’t-o tries to paint it.
Nobody with any eyesight and 4 braincells recognizes dressed up gangsters when they see them.
The SOBs were taught a lesson to not try that crap here again.
I have noticed a lot of the good people that ride and who used to try to dress up like hoodlum Bandidos and such, are now shedding the ‘colors’ look.
In East Germany, it wasn't called "Police Misconduct". It was called "Standard Operating Procedure".
That's different.
Hush child. The adults are talking.
Don’t0. why is it you never seem to have any substantive replies?
Let’s see a show of ADULT hands that you seem to think are criminal biker gang sympathizing groupies. Three fools raising both hands don’t count, unless you were at the tiddybar when the biker gang shootin started.
ADULTS that ain’t trying to hide some dirty deed they are guilty of don’t do such a stupid thing as supporting undeniable criminals.
