You say I have drunk their Kool-Aid.
That makes me curious. What do you think went down at Twin Peaks?
That fact alone should be raising flags for you.
We absolutely know the Waco PD engaged in distortion and out right falsehoods in the reporting of Weapons that were seized. (This is Texas and most if not all are perfectly legal and could be found at nearly any place where a large group of Texas residents were gathered.) The police later had to admit they were including small pocket knives and even multi tools (something any rider is likely to have) as "Weapons". They also reported nearly all those present were known criminals. This was an absolute lie. Most of those arrested had no prior arrest records.
I could go on all day but what would be the point?
We don't know the details but it's very clear Waco PD and all involved had a misguided "Agenda" on their plate that did not go as planned so full cover up mode is in place. With this we must remember cover ups by government officials are in most cases patently illegal.
You may be ok with law enforcement behaving this way but I and many other American Citizens and Texas Residents are not.
