Photos on the Facebook page of a group called Free All The Waco Bikers appears to show police snipers on an apartment building rooftop, across the street from a Harley-Davidson dealership that was a hosting a memorial service for one of the bikers shot and killed outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco on May 17.
This is the second time in less than a week that snipers have been posted outside a Texas Harley Davidson dealership after the Waco incident.
The most recent sniper sighting occurred at the “fundraiser and celebration of life” for Jesse Rodriquez, a decorated Vietnam vet who was known to fellow bikers as “Mohawk,” and frequently did charity rides with his wife. The fundraiser was held at Geuene Harley Davidson in New Braunfels, south of Austin.

Breitbart Texas used Google Maps to confirm that the apartment building shown in the photos is indeed directly across from the Harley dealership.
The second sniper incident was reported this past Saturday at Longhorn Harley Davidson in the southern Dallas suburb of Gran Prairie. CBSDFW.com reported that police positioned snipers outside the dealership during a motorcycle event. No incidents were reported.

Read the rest.I later realized that Breitbart was not talking about the H-D in Waco.
OK many thanks for the info.
Police putting snipers on not one but two locations after the first incident is disturbing; recall the adage: “one incident is happenstance, two is coincidence, three is enemy action”.
This remains selfish and ends up cutting off the grace of God. Doesn’t make it special whether it happened in Texas or Timbuktu.
What do you know about the Cossacks?
Looks like the Banditos were not very affected by this.
Depending on the report you read.
Seems the Cossacks were the ones with all the deaths, except the 1 Nam Vet Purple Heart recipient who was non-affiliated.
They had loyalty oath requirements after the CW.
“All the ones at Waco were ultimately involved in crime on some level”
Do you really believe that?
Headshake
I am concerned about it. And I also know that places where the residents and the police operate on an equal footing with each with each other cannot be subjugated. Unfortunately, the powers to be know this also, thus, they, with the cooperation of the police are working 24/7 to change the relationship to an adversarial one.
Thank you again for posting the picture and sharing your knowledge.

That’s for sure.
But, first of all, I’m not following this story chapter and verse, and the reason I’m not following it chapter and verse is because the story hasn’t yet produced the police department’s side of this momentous event. I mean what is there to follow, until which time that the department gets to speak too?
I don’t have all that much difficulty in understanding why the convergence of many different organizations of this magnitude, all together appearing in one shopping center would not be of some degree of interest to the police department of any town or city, even if they are cub scout troops, since crowd control is not a foreign concept for that reason alone.
Did something go wrong? Of course. Yes. Are we completely opposed to even hearing the department’s accounting of what went wrong?
I am sorry for what went wrong. A bathroom fight led to deaths. I believe cops were fearful and defensive. I want to know why.
Absolving the bikers entirely and eviscerating the cops, who lose their jobs for talking, doesn’t yet end the story for me
So far the story is media owned by the biker fans, the biker clubs, the biker blogosphere, even the biker witnesses on scene.
I still want to hear why the cops were so fearful if these “clubs” of bikers were, to the last man, all simply a crowd of cup cakes blowing into town.
What's gone down quite obviously is that LEO assumed the opposite, arrested them, and are holding them on clearly EXCESSIVE bail after killing 9 of them.
They (LEO) claim that it was biker-on-biker shooting and violence and they (LEO) came later, but the actual evidence as is easily seen and verified, indicates that they (LEO) were lying in wait, that they fired into a group KNOWING that many there were no more than Sunday bikers.
Evidence in photos of the scene so far pretty clearly indicates that the 22 LEO on the scene (officially acknowledged, not just rumor) not only risked those innocent lives by shooting into innocent bystanders in order to take out supposedly known criminal bikers with records (although to date, reports are that of the NINE dead, only a few had police records, which Rita, should make your blood turn cold), but arrested and continue to hold people whose only crime was BEING THERE.
There is no mystery to this. It isn't rocket science. But it does require self-responsibility to search, read, and think for oneself. That's the difference between leftist sheep and free Americans -- one allows themselves to be spoon-fed the "news" and relies on "trusted" sources to do it, the other thinks for him/herself based on conclusions drawn from info he/she has searched out and pondered.
Travis, seems the Ministry of Information put out its agents to push the smear campaigns and disinformation one expects in a police state. Laugh at them for their fail. As Americans are not buying their manipulative smear tactics it reduces their effectiveness with future uses of the same tactics.
What do you know about the Cossacks?
Thank you.
They are not listed on either of the biker lists on wiki.
Putin’s folks are claiming their roots are from Russia, transplanted to US. (probably agi prop)
Think about this. All the deaths were Cossacks except the 1 non-affiliated Purple Heart recipient Nam Vet.
Not sure about the injured.
I am seeing evidence of the web laundry machine being run. Things I can document are disappearing. This was not a local Waco event. It had/has an agenda.
Here is something about these great gangs that has not been mentioned..read the whole article..
I do know that these thugs have threatned all the police and their familys(women and children) saying they will hunt them down and murder the lot.Pretty great group threatning to shoot,stab and throw bombs into their cars while they are driving down the road..Now I do nothear that mentioned here from the articles some of you have quoted..http://www.vox.com/2015/5/17/8618899/waco-biker-gang-shooting
That is despicable. I hope those who issued such threats are caught, convicted and punished.
And the police themselves have said what about this fiasco??
I am not even yet invested in this story, but for reading an occasional FR post. I am not breathing every turn of it, nor holding myself responsible to research it. I am simply reading it as it comes, on FR, and so far, half the story is missing.
Natural curiosity for the other side of the story shouldn’t be in itself such a scandal. I’m just slow to set my hair on fire until I see the other half.
I have not even said that I argue with the sycophants of the biker side of the story. Maybe all the facts will fit their narrative, of harmless gangs and mostly Christian biking clubs going out to eat together.
Still, it’s not too much for a tiny few of us to have some modicum of interest in the back story of why the cops were, imho, alarmed, fearful and nervous for no perceived reason.
I should think in fact that most should be interested.
Why are you posting links to old articles that have both been discussed here? Do you have a point to make?
