Four Weeks Later: Waco Police Narrative Unravels
Breitbart Texas ^ | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 06/14/2015 4:18:39 PM PDT by House Atreides

"Four weeks after the deadly May 17th shooting incident outside a Waco Twin Peaks restaurant, more details have come out concerning the incident, but significant questions still remain about the actions taken by law enforcement and the police’s account of what transpired.

Although the national mainstream media has largely moved on from the Waco story, if critics of the police are correct, the incident represents an unprecedented civil rights violation and media cover-up campaign by the Waco authorities....

...In a statement on Friday, the police said that of 16 officers that were in the parking lot, only three fired a total of 12 shots. However, the statement still didn’t clarify how many of the bikers were killed by police. Authorities say they have not recieved final autopsy results that would clarify ballistics...."

Out of respect for your long FR tenure, I won’t call you a dupe.

Why is it difficult to understand that many times, often justifiably, people with no criminal record are arrested? No one is born with a record.

Their arrest in Waco was likely due to their being at the scene of the crime and looking a whole lot like the criminals gang members shooting one another. In a BIG killing, they use a big broom.

“If so could you explain why would an honest Christian group needed to carry?”

So Christians should not carry? Are you saying people who carry are criminals? You slipped up Mr. Jackboot. See how you are.

You did read the article, right?

I doubt it; and the snip you pasted will be ignored. Too busy accusing people of "supporting bikers." Unable to do even the most elementary sorting and analysis that is needed for intelligent discussion.

Brainstems.

12 out of 273 ain’t much!

There indeed may have been a truly innocent arrested at the Twin Peaks shoot em up, but none of them were dressed up like a bandido or totin a pistol.

39But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

We do not know whether or not there was an illegal killing at Twin Peaks. Every death and injury there may yet be determined to be lawful. There was no justification for arresting all bikers in the area and holding them on $1,000,000 bail each.

I’m sayin that peaceable Christian motorcycle riders should feel no need to carry.

I carry because I EXPECT trouble. I could turn away and avoid the trouble but I ain’t very Christian.

“One example of how the police seem to have ignored the line between biker groups with known criminal connections, and non-criminal motorcyclists, involves four men from the Austin area who were part of a motorcycle club called the Grim Guardians: Juan Garcia, Drew King, Jim Harris and Bonar Crump.”

BB click-bait has probably never heard of the Grim Guardians before. He offers no positive statement on the background of the GG’s MC.

He doesn’t even mention that they were kicked out of a legitimate riding club.

Only they didn’t arrest all the bikers in the area. Sixty-nine were detained and released the same day without arrests.

Do those people have names? What are they? Are they members of motorcycle clubs? Then what are the names of the clubs?

Don’t pull the scripture out and use it as part of your apology for tyranny. You are using the Lord’s word completely out of context, and you know it. Go try to entrap someone else you reprehensible little troll.

In such a BIG case they use a BIG broom. Obviously the rats were scurrying big time.

We both know, someone dressed up like they just got out of church, sitting in a pretend tiddy bar probably did not get arrested, held for questioning maybe.

The last 2 lawsuits were for 102 plaintiffs. The article didn’t say how many there were in the previous 8 lawsuits, nor the 4 lawsuits that were dismissed.

So Christians have no right to self defense? Any other groups you would like to deny that right to?

I do not understand your post. You need to consider that other people do not know what you are thinking.

You might as well get up out of your chair and find a door knob to talk to. Stop feeding the trolls.
