Waco police took issue with online conspiracy theories regarding Sunday's shooting at a Twin Peaks restaurant, with a spokesman saying Thursday the department "can't wait" to show the public "what truly happened."
Police have said after a disturbance in the parking lot Sunday, a fight began in the restaurant's bathroom that quickly escalated into an armed brawl and shootout that left nine motorcycle gang members dead and another 18 injured.
According to Waco police, the deadly altercation began after one gang of bikers showed up uninvited to a planned meeting of other motorcycle groups at the restaurant.
"You will eventually see what happened at Twin Peaks," said Waco police spokesman Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton in a news conference Thursday at 5:30 p.m. "I've seen it... It was horrible."
Sgt. Swanton said video of the fight and fatal shooting won't be available to the media or public until the McLennan County District Attorney's Office decides to release it, and that that time may not come until the investigation is much further along.
Swanton said there is currently no time frame on when the investigation may be complete, explaining that the nine men killed Sunday were more homicides than his department investigated in all of 2014. He also cited the complicated nature of the crime scene, which stretches from the interior of the restaurant to well into the parking lot.
More than 300 weapons have been recovered from Twin Peaks and the parking lot. Many were hidden throughout the restaurant, though police have not specified whether the weapons were placed there before the shooting or hidden by suspects as police responded to the chaotic scene.
Swanton specifically addressed those who have claimed online that police instigated the violence Sunday.
"Those who were involved know law enforcement did absolutely nothing to start this," Swanton said. He later said "a criminal element at Twin Peaks" started it.
Earlier this week, officials said there were 18 local police officers as well as four DPS troopers in place at the restaurant prior to a motorcycle group's event on Sunday because they were aware of the potential for violence.

Right on! Don't follow the herd! Be a rugged individualist by joining a gang. Get some neck tattoos and join a criminal gang and submit to their version of sharia!

” These people are almost certainly NOT on welfare, all likely have jobs (and/or they may be retired) which they may lose and family responsibilities.”
Reports from Waco are there are not enough lawyers in Waco to provide legal advise to the jailed indigents and they will have sent out requests to surrounding counties and the state for assistance.
How do the Bandidos distribute the money from the dues they extort collect from all the biker clubs?
“Don’t be gullible...you are being propagandized and herded like a sheep. And you are blindly going wherever you are being herded.”
At least I don’t pay monetary tribute to the controlling biker gang.
LMFAO, thank you so much for giving my posts such credence.
The flak is indeed always heaviest over the target.
Cheers!
Then why are so many STILL in jail after just a little under a month?
Well, they have been able to wait 30 days. Reminds me of Obama and his “I will not rest....” which, I think he has given up on.
