it focuses it's perspective on the Cossacks and the Bandidos, while no boyscouts, and their clash over the "Texas" rocker argument. A matter I don't give a shit about. It's theme is that this was a shootout between biker gangs, not bikers shot and killed by cops.
It's strange to read this view of a police vs biker massacre which doesn't ask why police were surrounding a restaurant meeting, with SWAT and lots of markmen sharpshooters who aimed for the head (Correct me if I'm wrong, but 2 bullets center mass and re-evaluate... ain't that the police procedure far and wide? Supposedly?) and murdered and injured with furious shooting without a care for collateral injuries to restaurant staff. (bullets have a habit of going through windows and walls)
Read for yourself, let me know if you think it's extremely strange way to tell the facts (it's a news organization) about a slaughter, when it's 90% about the patches, and never mentions the # of dead.

However, over at AgingRebel.com, the details were found about some of the shooters. So far, Waco Swat has been given a pass, and though having killed at least 4 of the 9, aren't even going to be seeing the inside of a court room.
192 people who are not police officers will face prosecution, cops who killed won't.

A different aspect... the seizure of the bikes and vehicles...
" in the days after the arrests scores of vehicles were impounded, Most of them were released within a month, often because the people who drove or rode them to the restaurant that day didn’t have clear title to them.
“I received a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle for possible forfeiture involving this case at Twin Peaks,” a Waco cop named Vincent Glenn wrote in June. “During my investigation, I discovered the motorcycle has a lien on it. I confirmed the validity of the lien through the lien holder, Unity One Credit Union. I released the vehicle on 6-10-15."
Four hundred eighty-five days after the event, Waco police are still holding 16 motorcycles and 10 trucks seized from people who have never been proven to have committed any crime."
