| These things happen. It's time to move on. [BBC] Not a single person charged for their suspected roles in a fatal shootout at a Texas biker bar in 2015 has been convicted, a prosecutor says. The newly elected district attorney in Waco said he is dropping all remaining charges against the bikers involved. The brawl resulted in nine deaths, 20 serious injuries and 177 arrests. McLennan District Attorney Barry Johnson blamed his predecessor for not properly prosecuting all those charged in the fracas. Nearly every person at the Twin Peaks restaurant was arrested and initially accused of engaging in organised crime following the shoot-out between the Cossacks and Bandidos gangs on 17 May 2015. Mr Johnson said in a statement on Tuesday that former District Attorney Abel Reyna should never have issued such a blanket arrest warrant, and should have issued more specific arrest warrants based on the evidence against each individual. |

| #2 Twin Peaks is NOT a biker bar. I am fairly sure the ballistics revealed that most of the dead were killed by police gun fire. |

| #1 there is more to this than anyone will admit. This is a failure on the LEO - the John Waynes setting a scene. I'm not done with this yet at all. the law enforcement narrative falls apart |
