But it bring bikers was beside the point. I caught hell on the OT over this story all because it was bikers involved. As soon as the Cossacks arrived at Twin Peaks and started the gun fight with the Bandidos, the cops opened up and started mowing people down. The cops knew what was coming because they set the whole thing up. And yes, most of the people killed that day were killed by cops who were already staged and had Twin Peaks surrounded. The Cossacks were nothing more than patsies. The whole thing was an attempt to take down the Bandidos in Texas with the hope that all the other state chapters would fall after losing their mother chapters that started the club back in the 60s. The Feds infiltrated the Cossacks MC and took them from a small, low key club and turned them into a rival of the Bandidos. I knew it was an inside job from the start. I followed this story and carried the torch for it on the OT for the better part of a year, maybe two. I believe the thought is that the cops are responsible for the deaths and injuries. The way the cops came running in and doing what they did, it seemed like almost shooting aimlessly into a crowd of people." "I saw a woman with her hands over the top of her head screaming. "People lying on the ground, trying to get away from the gunfire," Devoll said. "I heard a few rounds of handgun fire and then, I would say, an overbearing suppressing fire of M-4 rounds," Devoll said.ĭevoll says while police were responding to a dangerous situation, it appeared as though they were randomly firing into a group of bikers. "It was the most unorganized, unprofessional thing I've ever been a part of." Devoll says he was a passenger in a pickup that had just pulled into the Twin Peaks parking lot, when he heard gunfire. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing," Devoll said. Not just because he was arrested following the incident and held in jail for 22 days on $1 million bail, but also because of what he calls a "barrage" of assault weapon fire coming from police directed into a crowd of bikers. But he says the one he witnessed in Waco on May 17 will forever haunt him.
