Re: I didn't know "They were shot at before making their entry. The way a SWAT entry is done is that you get all your men prepared before making your entry. They were shot at before this was done, which means they didn't get a chance to make the announcement. Either way they were ready for a fight and drew first blood. You can easily turn this around and say the Davidian camp didn't announce their intent either.
This impending assault was in the news for Pete's sake. How can they NOT know they were coming. Do you have anything to back up the claim that the Davidians didn't have any prior warning that the law was coming"
All one needs to look at is the video of the ATF agents in full kill gear climbing up on the roof og the building and attempting to break in the window, at which time they were fired upon from inside and did a sloppily hasty retreat. They did not announce themselves, which is a legal requirement and had NO BUSINESS being on the roof and trying to break in with a assault team. The facts speak for themselves. |

| Full kill gear? Is that what you call body armor? This is standard MO for an arrest of hostile suspects. Ask ANY police officer what proper procedure is for this situation and they will tell you the same. This was a fringe community stockpiling military grade arms. The ONLY way to make an arrest is to come in from multiple entries and protected.
You need to look at the facts from an objective standpoint instead of with emotional reaction. |
