RR and Waco are fundamentally different because they involved the government cornering criminal groups and placing them under siege until they capitulated/died.

The scenario I'm talking about involves extremely difficult to detect and prevent vigilante action against corrupt individuals.
The kind of law enforcement that you're talking about who are itching for a 'war' will fold as soon as they face a threat like that. They're not actually there for a war. they're there to bully.
- cryptonector 3y agoI've yet to see any evidence that the Branch Davidians had committed crimes that the ATF had enough evidence for to effect arrests. Even if the ATF had had such evidence of such crimes, that didn't justify ninja-style wall scaling and entering. No-knock warrants are a disaster for everyone: for the innocent, for criminals, and for the police who serve them. As for RR, the ATF solicited the crime, and it took them a lot of effort to get what's-his-name to actually commit that crime. That is just not OK!
