[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 2834302, member: 16975"] As I recall the BATF came in full tactical gear and attempted to storm the compound leading to the initial loss of life and the ensuing standoff. As someone else has pointed out, Koresh could have been taken in town with a whole lot less drama. I compare this incident to no knock warrants, unless there is the threat of immediate loss of life, I think it would be better to try to capture the subjects away from home. As a Monday morning quarterback it is easy to see where everything went wrong. I think the Feds would have been better off just laying siege to the Branch Davidians until their supplies ran out. Also as I recall, the BATF was looking for Hellfire trigger kits that were never found in the ashes. No matter what their beliefs were, no one on either side deserved to die. [/QUOTE]
