“The Texas Court of Appeals has determined over the last week that officials had probable cause in only five of the 177 arrests”

This right here, in and of itself, would be a good reason why Waco has been desperately trying to cover themselves and spraying gag orders all over the place. They knew they didn’t have probable cause in the first place (which given witness statements, what little video has leaked out and the few statements made by Waco PD, is pretty much what many suspected) so absolutely *everything* they did is going to get thrown out in those cases and they opened themselves up for huge lawsuits.

This also can explain the blanket million dollar bail and the hugely inappropriate blanket murder/organized crime/etc., charges - quickly get the arrestee to voluntarily plead out and they can’t sue. They figured out they ‘done goofed’ and tried to make it go away.

You: This right here, in and of itself, would be a good reason why Waco has been desperately trying to cover themselves ...

So by now you know the rest of the story?
