The ATF self-described “official” Twitter account (@batf) stated they were present.
I Rted that statement several times to friends of mine. The account is gone. It has been replaced by a bogus account by same name. Old activation date, no tweets, 6 bogus followers.
And I tweeted this article to @WacoPolice (Sgt Swanton’s account) soon after the shootings took place:
Militarization Is More Than Tanks and Rifles: It’s a Cultural Disease, Acclimating the Citizenry to Life in a Police State
Less than an hour after I did, the author’s website link disappeared. Got a 404 error message (it was still on a number of other sites in total) It later re-appeared on the author’s website with a different link (the above link).
I have a copy of the Google Cache version of the original article link showing it did exist and was removed.
Next day, @WacoPolice blocked me from their account. Along with that, my tweets concerning them disappeared. (that is normal when account is blocked)
This was not a local run operation.
You are not the only one that has noticed and cataloging shift stories.
