#Bandidos vs cossacks Patch
The Waco shooting was reportedly sparked by a Cossack gang member wearing a Texas patch on his vest. Waco’s shooting is thought to be directly related to that incident. In November 2013 a Bandido allegedly stabbed two Cossack bike gang members in Abilene. Hell’s Angels and Vagos were involved in a shootout inside a Nevada casino in 2011 that left one biker dead and two wounded. In 2002, Hell’s Angels and Mongols had a gunfight inside a Laughlin casino that killed three bikers and wounded many more. Outlaw biker gangs have a long history of violence, and more importantly, are known to engage in gang warfare around uninvolved civilians. It’s a public proclamation of their dedication to a criminal lifestyle.
Many wear 1% patches on their vests, in reference to the “99% of motorcycle riders are law-abiding citizens” comment made after the first riotous motorcycle rally in 1947 a 1% patch means they’re not law abiders. That’s what they call themselves, not just what police call them. At least some of the bikers involved in the Waco shootout were “1%ers” or “outlaw bikers”. The affiliations of the bikers would obviously play a part in how the officers perceived the threat they presented. Police officers outside Twin Peaks could be expected to treat bikers firing shots in the parking lot as active shooters.
#Bandidos vs cossacks full
The Waco shooting took place in a crowded restaurant within a crowded shopping center with several businesses and restaurants full of innocent civilians. The best way to stop that killing is by quickly engaging the active shooter with accurate gunfire. A police officer who encounters an active shooter has one mission: stop the killing. I base this on a couple things, but the biggest one is a comment the Waco PD spokesman included in the official statement: “Our officers treated it as an active shooter scene.” An active shooter’s goal is to kill as many people as possible rather than steal money, take hostages or escape. However, based on my experience as a patrolman, assistant active shooter instructor and soldier I’ve made a few observations and educated guesses about what happened.ġ) I predict we’ll soon learn most or all of the dead bikers were shot by police officers
I’m no expert and have no direct connection to the Waco Biker shootout, nor do I have access to anything more than media reports. So this Waco thing has caught my interest, mostly because of all the dumb things being said about it.
