One thing I think everybody would agree. A bunch of folks went around playing bad biker (even though they wouldn’t physically hurt a fly) and when a deadly brawl broke out, the bad biker schtick got taken at face value.
There’s a whale of a lot of paranoia going around. Bikers and cops shouldn’t be enemies. But when a government gets all full of itself, weird and bad things happen.
“Bikers and cops shouldn’t be enemies”
In my area, they’re tight.
The Blue Knights and the clubs work together for *many* charities and benefits.
Likely intelligence came from BATF and Homeland Security.
Consider the Homeland Security infiltration by the Muslim Brotherhood, is it likely they would fabricate a false report to distract Terrorist targeting attention from the Islamist sector?
I personally don’t think Waco Police are capable of causing such a screw up without outside involvement by the Feds in some capacity.
I have been convinced from the first day that this was a total Fed Directed Screw-up. I would like to find I am wrong, but I see nothing yet that backs that up.

The May 1 law enforcement bulletin said the FBI had received information that Bandidos had discussed “going to war with Cossacks.” It also outlined several recent incidents between the two groups, including one instance in March when about 10 Cossacks forced a Bandido to pull over along Interstate 35 near Waco and attacked him with “chains, batons and metal pipes before stealing his motorcycle,” WFAA reported.
That same day, a group of Bandidos confronted a Cossack member fueling up at a truck stop in Palo Pinto County, west of Fort Worth, the bulletin said. When the Cossack member refused to remove the Texas patch from his vest, the Bandidos hit him in the head with a hammer and stole it.
