False. The police tried to stop it but the business owners would not cooperate.

By "it" do you mean the meeting? And is there a source besides Patrick Swanton? I believe the TP management denied that they had been approached by Waco PD.

Of course, Patrick also claimed that the thing started as a fight in the bathroom.

” I believe the TP management denied that they had been approached by Waco PD.”

No, they just disputed the police’s characterization that they hadn’t been cooperating with the police to prevent the violence. They never disputed that the police had contacted them:

‘Jay Patel, operating partner at the Waco franchise, said in a statement on the restaurant’s Facebook page Sunday that “our management team had had ongoing and positive communications with the police.”’

Regarding the CoC& I meeting itself, in one of the hearings didn't it come out from law enforcement that they did not request that the meeting of May 17th be canceled?

Instead the questions ran more towards how much of the facility had been reserved/rented for the meeting, wasn't it? Only the patio, if memory serves. Followed by commentary including that the police decided to not have officers inside the facility.
