Press Conference does not begin until about the 3:40 mark. A minute or so in, there is a audio interruption for another minute or so. After that, the audio begins working again.
This is important stuff.
Important take away: "Generally speaking, I am extremely pro-Law Enforcement, pro-Military ... but having served as a Judge, and looked at the facts of this case compared to the law, there are just some things wrong with this case."
The Judge then proceeds to call for the Dept. of Justice to intercede.

One thing that comes out of the biker's story here is that the cops took the bikers into custody, having told them they needed them merely to give a statement, and then they'd be free to go.
Instead, they left the bikers HANDCUFFED OVERNIGHT WITH ZIP-TIE HANDCUFFS, SITTING ON THE FLOOR OF "THE CONVENTION CENTER".

Apparently these bikers were told only that they were being "arrested on probably cause."
Apparently, four weeks later, they still have not seen a Judge.
They did, at some point, see a "Magistrate", or "Justice of the Peace", who told them they were "being charged with engaging in Organized Criminal Activity" and that bail was being set at $1 million.

At about the 27:00 minute mark, Clenenden, the biker, begins to attempt to talk about building his business, and how he has built his reputation in the community, and how the "careless response" of the Justice System has "ruined" the life he has "worked so hard for."
He is completely overcome with emotion. He does not look like an angry man, or a broken man. But he does look like a shocked and devastated man.
---
Then Clendenden discusses how the Waco PD has taken a "guilty until proven innocent" strategy here.
THE WACO POLICE DEPT. AND JUSTICE SYSTEM IN GENERAL IS IN A LOT OF FUCKING TROUBLE, MY FRIENDS.

UPDATE - From the Aging Rebel:
Within the last week, as more of the accused have been released from jail, a third version of events has begun to emerge. It portrays the Twin Peaks Massacre as a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation gone horribly wrong.
Multiple eyewitnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity because they believe what they know places them in danger from the police, portray the Cossacks as an easy club for ATF agents to infiltrate and exploit.
“The Cossacks are known to hand out patches to people without prospecting, short prospecting periods, some as little as a week, or proper background investigation to bolster their numbers. That obviously makes them pretty easy to infiltrate,” one source said.
“They’re right up there with the Iron Order (a "Motorcycle Club that many believe is a front for Law Enforcement"), and take many pictures similar to the Iron Order style. And like the IO, they seem to have no problem patching in cops and corrections officers.”
Multiple sources who The Aging Rebel believes to be credible have independently stated that they saw two Cossacks take off their cuts and put on police windbreakers and balaclavas.
The Aging Rebel has confirmed that ATF agents were at the Twin Peaks before and after the shooting occurred. And numerous news outlets have reported that multiple eyewitnesses heard two or three pistol shots which were then followed by automatic weapons fire.
Other sources have stated that at least two and possibly more confidential informants working under contract for the ATF were arrested and quietly released that night. The world’s news outlets have largely ignored this clash of narratives.
As far as most reporters and editors are concerned, the Waco story is yesterday’s news. It will probably be remembered as a spectacular biker brawl. The news cycle is too rushed to look much deeper than that.Some important thoughts to consider from various commenters:
They change their stories faster than their underwear. First it was four officers fired, then fourteen and those were on admin. leave. Now it is three officers fired twelve shots. Don Carlos (restaurant) claims it was thousands of rounds damaging their building and customers cars.
In the first days following the massacre Twin Peaks employees were on social media complaining they couldn’t get their cars or phones back. Why did they need to seize the phones of the employees and customers?---
I watched a video of Stroman’s entire Friday press briefing. He left some wiggle room on the statement about only 12 shots being fired by Waco PD. That seems to be based solely on the number of police shell casings they’ve found.
Paraphrasing, he said that only 12 shell casings were found that came from police guns, so that as far they knew at this time, Waco PD only fired 12 times. No words about officer or witness statements corroborating how many times they fired.
Any chance they might have cleaned up a little before they started counting? Or maybe it was 12 (whoops) magazines?---
