>Their warrant was literally for tax evasion.

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.

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.
