The ATF Battle & Cult of Waco…
Ойын-сауық
The Waco Siege was one of the most controversial law enforcement events in American History. The Siege began in early 1993, when a government raid on a compound in Waco, Texas, led to a 51-day standoff between federal agents and members of a millennial Christian sect called the Branch Davidians. The siege ended dramatically on April 19, 1993.

@@sharingiscaring1952 If you want a wall of text, you're gonna get it. I went to school for Law enforcement. So back in the Columbine era, the doctrine was, "cordon off the site, establish a perimeter, wait for SWAT." Obviously, that doesn't do anyone much good when SWAT is 90 minutes out, and there are still badguys doing badguy things inside. So the doctrine shifted to forming ad-hoc teams and going in immediately. 2-4 man teams clearing rooms. Problem is, you need to spend the money to train them how to do that. No money, no training. It's completely unreasonable to throw a patrol rifle at a regular police officer, and expect them perform like a Delta Force operator without the training to match. Maybe you're lucky, and they train on their own time, on their own dime. Most I've seen do their annual qualifications and that's basically it. I was a badguy team lead in commercial nuclear training exercises for 5 years. You've got, at most, 5-8 minutes. Either the badguys are all dead, or they accomplished their objectives. As the good guy, bomb or no bomb, we go. The clock is ticking.

You know, in spite of being koresh’s son and having special insight into so many stories that aren’t told, I have to see the same dichotomies play out in which the complexity of the matter is ignored but one aspect that cannot be explained away is why law enforcement in this matter isn’t held to account when it is them that are given privileges on behalf of everyone’s safety. My father was shot unarmed at the door in the initial moments and their agents have been caught in lie after lie or moonlighting as sophists. The day in court we actually deserve hasn’t been given, however I still feel deep empathy for anyone who was executing the orders of incompetence after a years long botched investigation wherein this agency was motivated by actions that ensured their failure… my siblings were gassed to death without hope of escape and agents that imagine that continuous volume of gas wasn’t lethal are fools, especially when collapsing the building on top of them. And blocking the escape hatch, and collapsing the roof of the bunker on top of them. They destroyed a crime scene thereafter and it was all strategic.
When this happened, my dad was in the uscg stationed at the headquarters in DC. I always remember what he said about this incident. "I was on watch in the coms room when I saw the news and the raid was live. I thought it was some low budget movie at first then realized it was real. The ATF should have arrested him in town. Instead they had their taticool equipment and thought they were operators and got their nuts handed to them." Dad pretty much sumed up the raid there.

The interview with the lead negotiator (who wrote a book on it and iirc has a netflix special about himself) is pretty damning.

Both are equally fucked right after ruby ridge.

That’s horridly sad. The mother part. It seems like he just wanted to speak with the one person who he felt had his back- the one rock in his world of fucking up. It’s actually wild how many people call for their mothers when they are at their end/when they are not doing well. They just want to have some sort of “let up” of the stress, they want to come up for one last breath of air in the middle of all of the bad feelings. I feel terrible for those among us who never had a relationship with their mother. Or who had a tumultuous and awful relationship with their mother. Mothers can be a completely special kind of magic. One that melts you to your core. They’re the person who is in your corner no matter what. ‘Til the bitter end. She will hold your hand and be with you, picking you back up- fighting your battles with you every step of the way. She will forgive you. She will die fighting things that she has no chance of winning against because you are her child and she is hard-wired to love and protect you even if it means dying for YOU. She was at one point just another girl, just like all of the other girls you see on a college campus, living their lives. But then she had you and all of that went away.. and many mothers don't miss any of it, they would do it a million times over, even if you think you're a loser who doesn't deserve anything let alone a woman's unconditional and undying love and support... she sees you in a different light. She always sees the best in you. I hope that Koresh was wanting to speak with her because of this and because he wanted her to make him feel better in some small way and not because he harbored any hate toward her and wanted to tell her off one last time before the end (going to prison for the rest of his days/dying in the standoff).

When he realized that his supervisors had ignored him, "I sat down and I remember starting to cry," said agent Robert Rodriguez of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms." -Chicago Tribune. This is the claim of Robert Rodriguez, the undercover ATF agent sent to the compound. There are multiple sources and news articles about this.

So they had an FFL and were lawfully selling firearms, and on hearsay and rumor the ATF launched a lethal attack on them instead of just calling them up and asking for them to verify their current FFL, and if they had auto sears they could have just changed them an additional Tax as per the ATF website: "You must also find a licensed firearms dealer that is allowed to possess these items and designate them to take control of them when you die. You will still need your passport photo and pay the $200 tax stamp as well. The process for buying a pre-ban machine gun is simply filling out the ATF Form 4 along with the steps described above. There are other ways of also owning a machine gun, but these involve either special licenses or becoming a Class III firearms dealer or Class II manufacturer. The simplest approach, albeit the most expensive, is to just fill out Form 4 and go the NFA item route.

There's FLIR video of agents machine gunning people trying to escape during the fire. They poked holes in that building to allow fresh airflow to facilitate a quick fire. This event is what likely lead to the OKC bombing as the main actor, Timothy McVeigh was there selling bumper stickers.

An acquaintance who worked with the Texas DPS told me the investigation stemmed from a UPS driver dropping a box and out rolled several inert Handgrenades. The Branch Davidians had no less than three licensed FFL “that’s federal firearms license“ that would hot glue those inert training grenades to a piece of stained wood and place a brass plate that read “complaint department take a number.” They the Affixed to the pin to the inert training grenade would be a plastic plate with a number one engraved on it.

There is a Seventh Day Adventist facility near where I live. I've meet some of them, felt they were misguided, but sincere in their beliefs. The ones in Waco didn't deserve what the ATF/FBI did to them. And the tactics the FBI used were totally ill-advised. Koresh went jogging by himself daily. Wouldn't it have made more sense to arrest him when by himself, then serve the search warrant to who ever was left in charge. There were a number of other mistakes made by the FBI, but I don't have time to detail them all, but there's been a number of books written on the subject.

On his force there's an ex-marine with 4 combat deployments he said you can see the difference in training. Thats why so many people get shot by cops pulling out a phone or something they don't train in high stress situations all the time. So, when something serious happens they don't really know what to do look what happened at that school shooting in Texas I mean that was horrible. They are allowed to basically just get fat to like no mandatory workouts or anything so if they do have to maybe fight someone, they'll shoot 1st.

Another great video. While it is impossible to get all of the facts & context into a 22 min video, you hit the premise on the head, and delivered again. You have a new fan. Subbed & hit the bell.
It is widely known (especially to Timothy McVeigh) that tear gas is flammable and so to a lot of the public (including Timothy McVeigh) this was a blatant assault on a community of people who just wanted to be left alone. Regardless of what you believe this should not have happened. Edit: I didn’t realize you guys are so divided on this… one thing you have to take into consideration is America is a huge country and what might seem crazy to you is someone’s everyday life. The cult had a right to freedom of religion and if you haven’t read it, the constitution doesn’t say “only a few arms” it says “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.“ regardless of how you feel, you don’t get to decide how people exercise their rights. You can’t make someone pray to your God and you can’t make innocent civilians give up their weapons… if you forgot it is innocent until proven guilty. I also firmly believe that if you have to fight the government it should be with words and in the courts and I pray (it seems like every night) that war with the state doesn’t happen. The simple truth of the matter is what happened should’ve been avoided at all costs… and if I’m being honest what it looked like was the ATF trying to prove itself and justify their existence by putting their budget to use. It looked like the ATF thought those people would soil themselves and give up immediately when they saw them coming and when it didn’t happen they basically said “well we came all this way”… the higher ups got good men who were just trying to do their jobs killed and it set off a chain of events that changed America forever.

None of this ever needed to happen, and that overlooked fact is what enrages me the most.

Two cars full of Cops could have arrested him there in relative safety; you can't be heavily armed jogging. But instead they wanted to look like heroes so instead they instugated the whole thing by trying to serve a warrant where they knew he wouldn't comply and where they knew they'd meet resistance, perhaps of a lethal nature. There were (and are() no laws precluding them from taking bthe approach they did, but they knew they had a better and safer way and ignored it.

Actually this falls under 18 USC ss 242 and 241"depravation of rights under the color of law" and "conspiracy to deprive rights". The cult openly invited the feds to search despite them not having a warrant but they refused, then made up stories about waco to villainize them. The cult had a license to manufacture firearms and were in full compliance with regs. They then proceeded to carry out a raid and fire shots at a place where they knew there were women and children present and where there was no sworn testimony under penalty of perjury that stuff was happening, and there were no corroborating witnesses nor sufficient evidence or probable cause - that is "without a reasonable doubt". They then proceeded to use psychological warfare tactics against them in a massive standoff then burnt the place down with everyone in it when it wasn't going their way.

I think they wanted to prove themselves after the Ruby Ridge atrocity (as indeed it was). Instead compounded their failure with the most notorious misuse of Federal power in living memory. Just abominable all around .

Maaaan your mini documentary vids are 🔥 keep up the great work popo 👑👍
Dude these documentaries you're making are top notch. The fast pace editing style must take a lot of work, but it's way more exciting than traditional Ken Burns slideshow that the entire genre defaults to.
This is easily one of my favorite KZread channels. The story, the lesson, the production and the music are all so good.

There is a Netflix documentary on this now and having seen the documentary and this video I can only say well done on this amazing video!
Overall an amazing video and I just love how it was made. One thing I found funny was after the last few lines it just cuts to them saying their outro like nothing happened lol
I swear I've said this a million times in my life. The Branch-Davidian Compound was NOT in Waco city limits. It was in Mt. Carmel, closer to Axtell. AKA out in the sticks. That's the only negative thing I have to say about this, or any of your videos. Always top notch work. Loved the Crips getting smoked by Rangers one.

I get that, but that’s like me saying I live in Garland, which is basically in Dallas. Most people just say they live in the biggest city closest to them so that way people can better understand where it’s at. Hell I live close to Fort Worth and tell people who aren’t from Texas that I live in Dallas or DFW. Easier not having to explain.

@@DSLUFC83 You're definitely correct, it just sucks because I worked in hospitality for years and all anyone knew about Waco was tied into that cult. Many people who didn't know any better thought it happened in downtown Waco or some shit lol. Ironically enough, the church they broke off from actually IS in Waco. Still there, in fact.

One thing I keep saying is the ATF needs to act more like a investigative/minor decision maker agency to help free up regular law enforcement agencies' resources. For what I'm thinking you should never even need a firearm as an agent because you would only arrive after the dangerous part of a situation has already been solved. And well, this is help proving my case.

I remember watching this unfold when I was a child. My mother was glued to the issue and I remember the heartbreak when the fires started. Very surreal to see this happen on live tv.
The ATF were supposed to be trained professionals they could have done this way easier, and this also happened right after the ATF took a huge blow for Ruby Ridge so they were taking any opportunity they could get. And things such as firearms and small explosives such as tanerite are completely legal in Texas. I am not agreeing with Coresh In any way either he was dumbfounded!

Nobody, either at the time (which I remember well, being in my early 30s) or today ever confused the ATF with "professional" in any sense. About the only LEO agency held in lower regard was the DEA... and these days, the FBI is vying for top spot in the Race Towards The Bottom.
