There are pictures on the net at various news outlets that show some of what is being alledged like it was hidden. The LE force went in with the necessary power to protect their people should the FLDS members decide to put up a fight. Fortunately they didn't or the outcome would have been much different.

Here's one showing the big bad mean sniper that never fired a shot..
This photo taken Friday, April 4 by an unidentified member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and released Tuesday, April 15, by church attorney Rod Parker, the spokesperson for members of the FLDS, shows an armed police officer on the grounds of the Yearning For Zion ranch near Eldorado, Texas. Photos of a state raid on a West Texas polygamist sect show law enforcement officers, looking for a teenage girl and evidence of sexual abuse, came prepared for an armed confrontation.

Those pictures were obviously not confiscated, and they don’t make me nervous, so I guess there’s no there, there...doesn’t look like much to me.
Those alleged pictures allegedly taken at the ranch. But do we have PROOF that that’s what they are?
A person who could get that good a line of sight to take a picture could take a shot as well. What kind of sniper would allow himself to be that exposed? Or the guys in the armored carrier?
Couldn’t we call BS on the pictures and just say that they’re fake because someone has an axe to grind? We can’t tell where they were taken by the background alone. It could be zillions of places anywhere in that desolate region of the southwest.
