Motorcycle Community Revs Up for Protests Over ‘The Waco 170'
Breitbart Texas ^ | May 28, 2015 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 05/29/2015 4:51:25 AM PDT by don-o

As unanswered questions and controversy mount over the shooting outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas, there is a growing movement by motorcycle riders to protest what they see as troubling overreach by the authorities.

Breitbart Texas has previously reported on a number of inconsistencies in the story that Waco Police have told about the deadly incident. There’s a growing awareness that there seems to be much more to the story than originally reported, and bikers are taking action.

The Confederation of Clubs and Independents (CoC&I) — a political group focused on biker rights — has issued a Call To Action, urging citizens to contact law enforcement and politicians. The CoC&I has a direct connection to the Waco events, because the shooting happened outside their scheduled meeting at Twin Peaks. As the group says on its webpage:

This was a Confederation of Clubs and Independents meeting solely intended to discuss legal and political issues. It was not, as has been reported, a gang meeting to discuss turf. COC meetings have been occurring in Texas and nationwide for decades without a single violent incident. The myth being purported is simply false.

Video from inside the restaurant clearly shows the vast majority of bikers running away from the shooting and even helping civilians get to safety. Remember, law enforcement was on the scene and should have a clear picture of aggressors and victims. This should not be a guessing game. But it appears that the Waco PD arrested the majority of eyewitnesses and rights activists present at a publicly promoted political event.

That is the general PD radio broadcast/dispatch.

I am talking about the internal SWAT/ATF tactical working channel. NOT anything that would be broadcast in the clear for anybody with a scanner to record.

But the tactical channel communications exist, I promise you. Unless it’s all been erased, Hillary-style. Video from surveillance vans, etc. All of it.

Hi. I hope you are doing well.

I say stuff like that just to worry the bad guys.

I hope that everyone in the federal government, and LEO understand that the excuse, "we were only following orders," will not spare them the noose.

Just say'n...

In the ‘hostile’ state of Texas so says ‘Jade Helm’, we have the illegal detention of over 150 people. And the authorities see they can get away with it. Think of it as a trial run for the real Jade Helm.

Great write-up Travis. As a writer,you're trained to lay things out in a narrative. If what you describe isn't pretty close to the 'truth' I'd be surprised. One thing not really spoken to is the motivation that placed those ATF and SWAT assholes at the scene in the first place. What, exactly was it, that had them attending this particular event in such force?

>>It is the Government, through its agent, the police, testing the waters as to what the public will believe and tolerate.

Sport is seeing things clearly. Probably read “TransEvolution” by Daniel Estulin.

“But the tactical channel communications exist”

which I do not doubt; but IOW the quote supporting your hypothesis is itself entirely hypothetical.

Speaking of stink-—I’ve yet to see a pic of a biker taking a shot at anything. Pretty much looking like the cops did all the damage.

You are evidently not familiar what what Travis does there. (It’s the same thing he does in writing he links to in his tagline, I think.) He presents a plausible scenario, based on his knowledge and experience.

When we hear something other than crickets out of Waco, then his accuracy can be evaluated.

You should give Travis a read and determine if maybe he has a pretty good take on the possible course of the future, as well as current events based on current trends and what we DO know about current events.

I’ve come to believe that if a bunch of cops from federal, state, county and local agencies were called to a meeting and told “There will be a bunch of motorcycle “gang” members causing problems this Sunday. Feel free to shoot anyone you believe “may be causing problems” not one cop would object.

Just like they do when a swat team is told “According to a low life confidential informant drug dealer a man at this address has 400 rounds of .22 caliber bullets. Take him down.” They all go ready to shoot anything that moves.

And we the people accept it all.

At least one cop with a functioning conscience will blow the whistle, so to speak.

Only in a few years. Maybe. Cops view themselves as in a hostile environment. The pressure to protect the group wins out most of the time.

Are they also going to call Mohammad cartoon protestors RICO violators too? Lord knows authorities do not want to protect freedom of speech and get caught up in a fight like this. It seems to me bikers were meeting and authorities shot both sides without caring who was what
