>2. There was no direct evidence indicating that Koresh engaged in any physical or sexual abuse of children during the standoff.

Lol DURING the standoff? You think that makes it ok? The point is he was raping kids BEFORE the standoff. That's what led to the stand off.

The rest of your post is a bunch of dumb technalities.

The reality is that this was an insane cult that not only was raping children but also posed a huge threat to the wider community because of their accumulation of an arsenal of weaponry. Look up Aum Shrinkyo for what happens when violent cults go unchecked.

It does in combination with point one, which establishes they didn't have enough evidence to get a warrant on it.

No, it's not. It establishes the FBI had no reason to raid them the way they did.

The Branch Davidians were not a death cult like Aum Shirinkyo is.

Yes they were...

Question, do you actually literally believe David Koresh wasn't raping kids or is that just convenient for your narrative that there wasn't enough evidence?

Their warrant was literally for tax evasion.

I believe the FBI abused their authority to murder 82 people in cold blood

And Al Capone was only convicted of tax evasion. But I'd be a naive gullible idiot to say that means he wasn't a mobster.

Murdered in cold blood is a ridiculous characterization of what happened. Especially since many of the kids had stab wounds and gun shot wounds FROM THE CULT MEMBERS THEMSELVES.

But neo nazis love to big this event up as the ultimate travesty of justice while dismissing cops shooting unarmed minorities as no big deal.

The difference is that Capone couldn't explain where the money was from. Koresh could. He offered it to them, in fact. Repeatedly. On live national television, to the FBI informant, to the county sheriff, to everyone.

>Especially since many of the kids had stab wounds and gun shot wounds FROM THE CULT MEMBERS THEMSELVES.

Interesting how that position comes only from the FBI and everyone in the community and all the cult members' friends and family strongly disagree. When everyone but the cops disagrees with you, you're probably wrong.

Cops shooting anybody under false pretenses and then covering it up is bad.

It's not that interesting that criminals would blame the cops for everything and exonerate themselves.
