Well, one could certainly empathize with someone standing by monitoring and then in the middle of a firefight between a bunch of bikers. At a point it is just plain self-defense to shoot or be shot in the moment. Put yourself in the middle of a rough looking people all wearing vests who are shooting at each other with heavy caliber weapons. Once order is set in you betcha the cops shouted, “Hands up, Don't Shoot!”. We could use some assertion of moderation around here too.

How ironic - the death toll from the “Twin Peaks” shootout was greater than the total number of homicides Waco police investigated in all of 2014 – And all of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police. The cops fired thousands of rounds into the bikers, killing nine. Only 3 or 4 of the bikers were armed with handguns. This can be summed up in one word: Waco. "Who shot at whom first; who did or did not pull the trigger; and what might have spurred the 14 police officers to fire “thousands of rounds” at a group of 3 to 5 potentially armed bikers when the downrange backdrop was a patio filled with hundreds of unarmed bikers is not yet known..." http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/05/21/waco-twin-peaks-shooting-updates-14-police-officers-fired-thousands-of-rounds-on-200-bikers-killing-9-wounding-18-two-thirds-of-those-arrested-had-no-prior-criminal-history/ http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/05/21/waco-twin-peaks-shooting-updates-14-police-officers-fired-thousands-of-rounds-on-200-bikers-killing-9-wounding-18-two-thirds-of-those-arrested-had-no-prior-criminal-history/ Quoting "dhamiltony2k5@...
