Mainly a blog type article claiming to have multiple sources so.....grain of salt and all that:

"" A shoving match in a
bathroom at a
Confederation of Clubs
meeting in Waco, Texas
exploded into a war
yesterday. Nine people
were killed, 27 people were
injured, 17 were hospitalized, two are listed in
critical condition, and 160 men were arrested
following a brawl at a chain restaurant in a
shopping center on the South Jack Kultgen
Espressway.
The fight resulted from a long simmering
dispute between members of the Bandidos
Motorcycle Club and the Cossacks and the
Scimitars Motorcycle Clubs. Curtis Jack Lewis,
president of the Abilene chapter of the
Bandidos, and Wesley Dale Mason, the
chapters’ sergeant at arms, were accused of
stabbing two Cossacks outside Logan’s
Roadhouse in Abilene in November 2013. The
two Bandidos were charged with aggravated
assault in March 2014. The Scimitars are in
the process of patching over to the Cossacks.
Other clubs in attendance at the Sunday
brunch included the Blackett Arms MC, Gypsy
MC, HonorBound Motorcycle Ministry, Renatus
MC, Escondidos MC, Sons of the South MC,
Los Pirados MC, Leathernecks MC, Vietnam
Vets/Legacy Vets MC, In Country MC and the
Tornado Motorcycle Club.
All of the arrestees are being charged under
Title 11, Section 71.02, a draconian Texas law
titled “Engaging in Organized Criminal
Activity.” According to that law, “A person
commits an offense if, with the intent to
establish, maintain, or participate in a
combination or in the profits of a combination
or as a member of a criminal street gang, the
person commits or conspires to commit one or
more of” most of the acts that are illegal in
Texas: Including possession of small amounts
of marijuana, transporting a firearm, and
possession of banned weapons like brass
knuckles and butterfly knives. Police seized
about a hundred weapons at the crime scene
Sergeant Patrick Swanton, a spokesman for
the Waco Police Department, called the
attendees. “A bunch of criminal element biker
members that came to Waco and tried to
instill violence into our community and
unfortunately did just that…. This is not a
bunch of doctors and dentists and lawyers
riding Harleys. These are criminals on Harley-
Davidsons.”
The Restaurant Did It
The Texas Region One COC and Independents
meeting was scheduled to begin at one p.m.
The fight began about 12:15. Local police had
urged the restaurant, a Hooters knock-off
called Twin Peaks, to refuse service to bikers.
Waco police claim the violence could have
prevented if Jay Patel, the operating partner at
the independently owned Waco franchise, had
simply banned the Confederation of Clubs
from meeting there. In a statement Sunday,
Patel said “our management team had had
ongoing and positive communications with
the police.”
Sergeant Swanton said, “What occurred here
today is the worst-case scenario when a
business owner puts profit over human lives.
It’s sad. This could have all been avoided.”
The restaurant has been sponsoring a bike
night on Thursdays. Local police have been
trying to convince the management to stop
that, too. It is legal in Texas, as it is in most
states, to ban the display of motorcycle club
patches in public establishments. “They were
aware that there were issues here,” Swanton
said. “It was local management here. We told
them of the issues, we tried to get assistance
in reference to dealing with these crowds but
they would not cooperate.”
Today, Front Burner Restaurants, which owns
the Twin Peaks chain, announced it was
cancelling the Waco restaurant’s franchise
agreement.
“We are in the people business and the safety
of the employees and guests in our
restaurants is priority one,” the announcement
said.
“Unfortunately the management team of the
franchised restaurant in Waco chose to ignore
the warnings and advice from both the police
and our company, and did not uphold the high
security standards we have in place to ensure
everyone is safe at our restaurants.
“We will not tolerate the actions of this
relatively new franchisee and are revoking
their franchise agreement immediately. Our
sympathies continue to be with the families of
those who died and are very thankful no
employees, guests, police officers or
bystanders were hurt or injured.”
Swanton said, “That’s a good thing for law
enforcement here. That is one issue that we
don’t have to worry about – people coming in
and creating another incident after the tragic
incident we had last night.”
Swat
When the restaurant refused to ban the
Confederation of Clubs, police stationed at
least 22 cops including at ten Swat officers
from the Waco P.D. and the Texas Department
of Public Safety in the parking lot outside the
restaurant. They did not station either
uniformed or plain clothes officers in the
restaurant.
The shove in the bathroom became a scuffle in
the restaurant. When about 30 Bandidos,
Cossacks, Scimitars and other bikers spilled
into the parking between the Twin peaks and
the Don Carlos Mexican restaurant next door,
the police were waiting for them. The scuffle
became a knife fight and several men were
stabbed. When one of the combatants
produced a gun the Swat team opened fire
with automatic weapons. Multiple sources
have told The Aging Rebel that all of the dead
were killed by police.
Swanton said the fusillade “saved lives in
keeping this from spilling into a very busy
Sunday morning. Thank goodness the officers
were here and took the action that they
needed to take to save numerous lives.”
The investigation into the massacre is being
supervised by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives.
Since the massacre, police have announced
that there is “credible information about
threats toward law enforcement.” Waco police
issued a bulletin at 10:13 Sunday night that
announced: “Our agency has recieved (sic)
information that the Cosaks (sic) and
Banditos (sic) have issued an order to kill
anyone in uniform.”.

Lord help the cops........they done went and spelled the clubs names wrong lol


Agreed Total disrespect.


Thugs don't deserve respect.


Not all 1%ers.are thugs.
Our Bandidos.here sell tshirts.have bike washes.barbques.for fund raisers for kids and families that need it.
The Cossacks.are trying to patch over with a Texas patch,and bring in Hells.Angels...now they do a lot of bad bad stuff.
Texas is Bandido. Territory. .if it has to be claimed by an MC,I'm glad it is Bandidos.
I have been to a lot of runs,functions,it's not all bad.

They are considered an Organized Crime Syndicate and are involved in Drugs, Murder, Prostitution, Extortion, Illegal Weapons just to name a few things. They are thugs, every last one of them. Not to mention they view ALL women as property, not people. That video explains a lot and several top Bandidos are interviewed in it.



I can't even pull that up...
How old is it? Is it Texas?
Can somebody fix it..so I can see itwhoa

Please and Thank you


Yes, it was all in Texas. Texas members, law enforcement etc. Even Richard Merla was interviewed from prison and he was a former high ranking member and head of security for the President of the entire club and he goes into detail of what they are about, their views on women etc.

All's you have to do is copy and paste that link into your browser window.

If I knew how to do that I would have.

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.

The Bandidos "constitute a growing criminal threat to the U.S. law enforcement authorities," the Justice Department said in a report on outlaw motorcycle gangs. According to the report, the Bandidos are involved in transporting and distributing cocaine and marijuana and in the production and distribution of methamphetamine.

It appears that they will all get a lot of time to think about their " turf".. what they perceive that they "own". Maybe if they are good boys, in time they will be allowed out to clean up their turf.. along the highway, in those bright orange jumpsuits.

Biker gang to chain gang..... all because you felt someone was riding their motorcycle in " your" town... Lol... well I hope it was worth it.

How can they confiscate the motorcycles? I thought they could only do that if they were involved in drug trafficking?

not necessarily,


Feds Exempt MRAPs from Prohibited Police Equipment Despite Admitting They’re “Militaristic in Nature”
Even some police are surprised by MRAP exemption



Although Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs) are “militaristic in nature,” cops should use them because they have “significant utility for law enforcement operations,” according to President Obama’s task force on police equipment.

The interagency Law Enforcement Equipment Working Group (LEEWG), which was established by Obama under Executive Order 13688, purposely exempted MRAPs and other military vehicles from a list of equipment prohibited from police use.

To explain the exemption, LEEWG described MRAPs as equipment “that could be seen as militaristic in nature yet also may have significant utility for law enforcement operations.”

“This includes several types of armored vehicles, such as MRAP vehicles transferred via the [Pentagon’s] 1033 program and armored vehicles manufactured commercially,” the LEEWG report stated.

LEEWG even suggested that it was okay for university police departments to use MRAPs as long as they have “policies” in place, such as painting “Emergency Rescue” on the side, as if that’s going to prevent abuse from happening.

“The University of Texas System Police (UTSP) has a policy on Emergency Rescue Armored Personnel Vehicle (MRAP), which specifies that the ‘exclusive operational purpose’ of the MRAP is to enhance the physical protection of its occupants,” the LEEWG report said. “Accordingly, the policy requires that any MRAP vehicle display the words ‘Emergency Rescue,’ so that its purpose is clear to the community.”

The editor-in-chief of a major law enforcement web site, Doug Wyllie of PoliceOne.com, thought it was strange that MRAPs were exempted.

“Recall that the MRAP was purpose-built for the theater of war in Iraq and Afghanistan when our soldiers were being killed and maimed because the Humvees and M35/deuce-and-a-halfs were being shredded like wet cardboard,” he wrote. “The design of the MRAP is specific to answer the threat of an IED constructed from unexploded military ordinance.”

Last year the Spokane Co., Wash., Sheriff’s Dept. came under fire after a deputy claimed their MRAP was needed to deal with the threat posed by “constitutionalists.”

“I mean, we’ve got a lot of constitutionalists and a lot of people that stockpile weapons, lots of ammunition,” the deputy said. “They have weapons here locally.”

Considering how much the Obama administration hates the Second Amendment, is it really that surprising that they would encourage police to use MRAPs?

Quite easily.
And drug trafficking isn't the only legal ground
to confiscate vehicles.

Outgunned... Outgunned? They got enough hardware and ammo to fight WWIII. The last time they were Outgunned was in the 90's, when they were still trying to "protect and serve". The word "Police" doesn't apply to them anymore, they're para-military nowadays. They have a stronger bond with the Armed Forces than they do with the community they're supposed to police. People used to look to the police to help. Nowadays people are afraid to call the police because so many victims have been turned into perpetrators without evidence or victim. And now they have all the equipment not being used in Iraq or Afghanistan or Europe or God only knows where else they've put their nose in business not their own.
Outgunned, lol....

Outgunned, lol....

i agree, obamas executive order never said they have to give back what they already have. they all have military rifles, armored vehicles. that right there is enough to take on any gang of bikers they should come into contact with. the bikers were armed with pistols, clubs, and chains. cops were definitely not "outgunned" and being they all pretty much have military surplus equip. already, its unlikely they will be outgunned anytime soon. obamas executive order only included vehicles with tracks so MRAPS are still perfectly legal for cops to obtain.

The banned list includes: tank-like armored vehicles that move on tracks, certain types of camouflage uniforms, bayonets, firearms and ammunition of .50 caliber or higher, grenade launchers, and weaponized aircraft.

cops do not need tanks, cops should not be wearing camo, they certainly dont need bayonets, and they dont need 50 cals, and they sure as h3ll dont need grenade launchers or weaponized aircraft. these are police, not military.






and NO i am not bashing police, im just saying giving them all this equipment is only going to lead to abuse of it. cops are supposed to be member of the community that are there to help people, not para-military style forces that people are afraid of.

This is a typical argument used to provoke an emotional response....and its wrong. CS can be used by military forces as a form of crowd control when lethal force would not be warranted.....the same way law enforcement use it.

"" For example, if an American facility used
herbicides to clear vegetation from its
immediate defensive perimeter, that would
be acceptable under the CWC. What would
not be allowed is the use of that same
herbicide to kill off massive amounts
of vegetation in an effort to deny cover to
the enemy. Similarly, if a crowd
in Afghanistan was considered hostile, and
lethal force needed to be avoided, American
soldiers would legally be able to use tear
gas.""

so why the h3ll are police allowed to use it against citizens of this country?
So you wld rather see them use lethal force....and you cld then further your obvious agenda, got it, carry on.

Our ruling

The meme said police in the United States use tear gas even though it "has been classified as a chemical weapon and banned in international conflict since 1993."

The Chemical Weapons Convention did outlaw the use of tear gas in warfare, though that went into effect in 1997, not 1993. However, the meme glosses over some context. It tries to leverage the Chemical Weapons Convention’s decision to ban tear gas as evidence of why the technique should be illegal for policing, yet that very same convention explicitly allows its use for domestic law enforcement purposes.

The claim is accurate but needs clarification, so we rate it Mostly True.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/aug/26/facebook-posts/tear-gas-was-banned-warfare-1993-police-1997/

so its "mostly true"
