We still don’t know how many of the deceased were killed by cops, do we?
My bet is all of them.
Follow the money
" as well as who among them are directly responsible for the deaths and injuries. " No LEOs were directly responsible for deaths?
"...officers fired their weapons to save their own lives..." That will be interesting to see proven for any LEO besides the undercover ones.
“...Authorities have also declined to reveal who among them was shot by Waco Police, although authorities have said officers fired their weapons to save their own lives or those of others....”
*********************************************************************************
So the “authorities” are claiming that they killed people to “save their own lives or those of others”. It will be VERY interesting to review the videos to see which lives were “saved” exactly. My guess is that NO LIVES WERE SAVED, LIVES WERE ONLY TAKEN.
Writer clearly does not understand the world of MC clubs. Will some one roll over, probably but they would be better off doing the time not looking over their shoulder.
Cut police budgets down and close down jails. With crime down who else will they come after to justify their budgets? What kind of limited govt types want to have more cops and jails? Never made sense to me.
Snitches get stitches or worse. My understanding is that motorcycle 1%ers like these guys won’t snitch to make a deal out of fear of being whacked by fellow bikers. They will take the “dime” and do the time...of course they are running a criminal enterprise...that’s what motorcycle clubs like this do to sustain themselves...but proving it in court is another matter.

All should exercise their rights and demand a jury trial.
Disastrous case. Reasonable doubt will be pooling on the floor, with each defendant able to draw a dozen or dozens of alibi or affirmative defense witnesses.
I certainly favor finding and convicting the murderers in this case, but they should be going after all of them, not just the guys wearing motorcycle club uniforms and giving a pass to those wearing law enforcement uniforms. Blackmailing clearly innocent bystanders is a tyranny of justice, but that is exactly what is going on.
even innocent people have pleaded guilty in cases in order to avoid doing major time.
I hate our system that this is even allowed to be considered.
I hope they all cooperate and every gang sticks together and proves the cops did all the shooting in the beginning and they didn’t know it was the cops so they started shooting back. And that’s probably what actually happened.
The city's biggest issue may well be convincing the indited that there is any honor in the prosecutor's office.
With this many people involved, it is probably going to be impossible for everyone to stand up against an agency with apparently unlimited power and money. Impeaching 'witnesses' will be pretty straightforward though, I suspect.
