RIP heroes. Sounds pretty serious

They were serving a warrant on a suspected felon with a firearm before two suspects opened fire on the officers.

Of course this doesn't get much cover. I wonder why?

because the life and well being of one black criminal is worth more than 4 police officers murdered in the line of duty to some folks

U.S. Marshals claimed they were ambushed while surveilling a suspect wanted for firearm offences. Yeah, maybe. Maybe not.

The FBI's HQ and the Site Commanders in Idaho both re-evaluated the situation based on information about what had happened on August 21 which they were receiving from U.S. Marshals Hunt, Cooper and Roderick. On August 23, repeated attempts to negotiate with Weaver via a bullhorn failed; there was no response from the cabin.[73]: 520 

On about Monday, August 24, the fourth day of the siege, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Danny Coulson, who did not know that Vicki Weaver had been killed,[95] wrote a memo with the following content:

Something to Consider
1. Charge against Weaver is Bull S___.
2. No one saw Weaver do any shooting.
3. Vicki has no charges against her.
4. Weaver's defense. He ran down the hill to see what dog was barking at. Some guys in camys [camouflage] shot his dog. Started shooting at him. Killed his son. Harris did the shooting. He is in pretty strong legal position.[38]: 56 

I don't know what happened in North Carolina, but I know the U.S. Marshalls have a record on such matters.

Yes but they investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong. The future USAG (Bill Barr) said so himself!
