The controversy over the Waco 170 continues as mre info comes out about the people who were arrested after the deadly May 15th shooting incident outside a biker event in Waco, Texas.
Now with this exclusive interview with one of the arrested, you can make up your own mind.
Did the Waco police overstep their authority and arrest innocent people? Or did they do the right thing and bust over 170 dangerous bikers?
It’s one thing to read about it. Watch our interview with Matt Clendennen and if you can figure out who’s telling the truth: the police or the bikers?

Yeah but, those Amish have a fairly indemic problem /S
9 people are dead, let’s not clean these choir boys us and claim this was a church picnic.
I think a good case could be made that members of the executive and judicial branch of the government of Texas violated the rights guaranteed him by the following amendments to the Constitution of the United States:
1st
2nd
4th
8th
DAYS will = months.
Well, we can always trust the police,right?
UHhhhh..
Yes. Nine people are dead.
And I, for one, would like to know who killed them.
And you're the one who made that initial claim. So tell me what rights you think were violated. Don't tell me your opinion and then tell me to go research it myself. Haha.
“branches”
But there were many clubs represented there, many wearing patch that is wholly unconnected to anything nefarious - to include Biker Vets, and and Bikers for Jesus groups. Indiscriminately sweeping up anyone in gypsy leather is quite akin to my point.
If they had been picked up and let go again with some sort of immediacy, I probably wouldn't mind. But that ain't what this was.
Who killed those nine? Do you know?
Not if there was probable cause to arrest. Which there was, IMHO.
I don't have a problem with that. In a general melee they are going to restore order first. continuing to be held on $1,000,000 bond after 3-4 weeks.
Yes, I do have a problem with this. Something about The Eighth Amendment... which you would think a prosecutor would know.
Small town?
Waco, Texas has a population of about 130,000 people. In my state that’s a decent sized city.
PS - Is it too much to ask to recommend you at least read the 8th amendment to the Constitution on your own or do you want me to post it for you?
You are not up-to-speed with the facts in this case and again, did you not take an oath pledging to defend the U.S. Constitution?
Not gonna do it. If you do your own research, you will discover that lawsuits have already defined the violations of rights. Many more to come.
I don't have a problem with that either. Please do not take my comments out of context. The comma placement in my sentence, and my use of the word "but", make my meaning unambiguous.
Even the 8th?
I don't shrug the detention off at all. It's a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
But that is a separate question from the one: "in a violent melee, should everybody be arrested?" Probably so if there's a public safety issue. What is the compelling reason now to continue holding them?
Sorry, but thefactor's "paperwork" excuse won't fly. Frankly, it sounds like something the hard-nosed cop in a bad movie would say to excuse his own criminality.
I agree.
And if I had a nickel for every baseless, frivolous lawsuit filed by arrested persons, I'd be rich. Do I think this guy committed a crime that day? No. Do I think there was PC to arrest at the time? Yup.
