2015年CRI 韦科市警方呼吁从摩托车团伙“和平”

（单词翻译）

Police in the city of Waco, Texas are appealing for calm among rival biker gangs.

This comes amid reported threats among the rival groups following a bloody¹ melee² this weekend in the city which left 9 people dead and 18 others in hospital.

Waco Police Sergeant³ Patrick Swanson admits they are anticipating more violence.

"I will tell you that in the gang world and in the biker world that violence usually condones⁴ more violence.

Is this over? Most likely not. We would like it to be. We would ask there to be some type of truce⁵ between whatever motorcycle gangs are involved.

We would encourage them to try to be a little peaceful and let the bloodshed stop."

A meeting among several rival biker gangs at a restaurant in Waco on Sunday turned violent after a fist-fight in the restroom spilled into the restaurant and the parking lot.

170 people are facing charges in connection with the massive brawl⁶, which saw the rival gangs attack one-another with guns, knives, brass⁷ knuckles⁸, clubs and chains.
