[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2834155, member: 1132"] Back to the OP's original question, yes it changed SOP's. Then Atty General Janet Reno set the narrative and forced the confrontation that killed the non-combatants in the siege. Say what you will about the gun toters in Koresh's cult, some of the women and absolutely the children didn't deserve to burn to death. The .gov bulldozed the active crime scene within 72 hours for "biohazard reasons" (hello, did we do that with the Twin Towers?) and NEVER proved their illegal gun case that started the whole debacle. Despite one member here thinking it was perfectly OK to give Koresh his "Armageddon", most of us expect better of our public servants. Waco & Ruby Ridge ultimately gave the .gov a HUGE PR nightmare. All you need to do is look at the Bundy Ranch standoff and what's happening in Washington state right now to understand how it affected standoff SOP's. It's a shame innocent people had to be killed by the .gov in the name of "Justice" for that to happen, but it is what it is. :( [/QUOTE]
