I think it’s wrong to lump local police in with the ATF.

The local Waco authorities apparently had decided to become “willing executioners” and to participate under the direction of the DOJ. And they are certainly doing all they can to cover up the details of what actually happened and to help promote the narrative that law enforcement has been threatened and are in fear for their lives. It’s all transparent BULL CRAP in my opinion.
That depends.
Were they “just doing what they were told”?
When they all huddle down in the makeshift "command center", do you really think the local PD is going to hold back?
And say, "Wait a minute, just who are these guys that want to go in full commando? These are our neighbors they want to attack, this is wrong?"
You really think that is how it went down, or more likely, the adrenalin and steroids kicked in and it was time to use all those cool toys Obola has been giving them?
These are cops after all, trained and indoctrinated to intimidate and dominate.
Then explain why the ATF was there waiting for the bikers.
