So what's the real endgame here?
It's not to send 150+ guys up the river for the Twin Peaks thing so are prosecutors hoping to put the squeeze on to get information on other activities, people higher up in the food chain
One simple word... RICO. Namely RICO against the Bandido motorcycle club. This whole process started long before Tein Peaks ever happened. The Feds and Texas started a operation to take down the Bandidos named "Operation Texas Rocker". This was about the same time the cops infiltrated a long standing small Texas club called the Cossacks. After the cops infiltrated this club it all of a sudden started doing things like trying to claim territory by wearing a Texas bottom rocker and instigating confrontations with the Bandidos. The final phase of this operation was Twin Peaks. That's the day the cops sent the the club they'd infiltrated to start a fight with the Bandidos. The cops even set up cameras to catch it hours before. The goal was to catch the fight on tape and use that as evidence against the Bandidos. Only problem was things got out of hand. The Cossacks started the fight but then started shooting people. That's when the cops, already in position, opened fire and the situation got out of control.
What's going to happen next is all these cases will be handed over to the Feds for RICO charges on everyone, the Bandidos, the Cossacks, and all the rest. The Cossacks have served their purpose so now they're being thrown to the wolves.

All of which are completely warranted and justified with mounds of evidence.

The police diffused an extremely volatile situation with proportional force and discretion. The fact zero officers lost their lives that day is a testament to their training and development of CIs.

No doubt the police handled this poorly but I got to ask. Would even give a shite if they were not bikers? Let's say they were crips and bloods?
