Waco Update: Last Biker Finally Being Released (Update in OP)

A member of the Desgraciados Motorcycle Club named George Bergman appeared at an examining trial last Friday in Waco. Bergman had just arrived at the Twin Peaks restaurant last May 17 and was walking to the Don Carlos restaurant on the other side of the parking lot to use the bathroom there when he heard a gun shot.
He was detained, found to be in possession of two, small, legal knives incarcerated for hours and finally arrested. He spent 20 days in jail before being released on $80,000 bail. He lost his job and continues to suffer from injuries suffered during his incarceration. Last Friday he asked that the charges against him be dismissed because there was no probable cause to believe that he was guilty of participating in organized criminal activity.
A judge named James E. Morgan refused to dismiss the charges so Bergman’s nightmare will continue. But before he left the court he read the following statement into the record.

When I arrived at Twin Peaks, I parked my bike and when I saw how crowded Twin Peaks was I decided to use the restroom at the Don Carlos restaurant. Just as I started toward Don Carlos I heard shooting and ducked behind some cars. I then saw one police officer in front of me just shooting wildly toward the crowd at Twin Peaks with a rifle.....

Last jailed biker expected to be released after Twin Peaks melee
We're now a little over 5 months into this and still no forensics reports, no indictments, and not even one trial date has seen set.

if you give some police an excuse to use deadly force, you can count on a few of them using it

And they are a support club for the Bandidos?

I'm not buying his bullshite. If he's tied in w/ the Bandidos then he's a criminal.

If you don't want to be treated like a thug, you probably shouldn't join a gang.

As much as I dislike outlaw motorcycle/gangs/clubs or whatever the term is, they are being royally screwed on this. Every American should be outraged at the railroading going in Waco and the absence of accountability.

The funny thing is that I was not even planning to go to the Confederation of Clubs meeting at Twin Peaks on May 17, 2015.
Can we copy and paste this for every person who will be testifying?

I'd like to know if he was informed of the potential for violence and decided to attend any way.
2 knives? Just going have fun with a couple of buddies?

I don't know man. On one hand the state actions via the police and justice system are pretty heinous. But on the other it's hard to have sympathy for someone who's a member of a organization that directly supports and enables a 1% club, especially one like the bandidos. If they were dwelling around my home territory I'd hope the cops did whatever they needed to to relocate them.

Ugh... Bikers...

well, if in fact that's exactly as it happened, he needs to file suit against the police and the courts.
he has to take the offense here, or he's gonna lose.
