The assault on Koresh’s compound occurred at the height of ‘Cops’-style reality TV. I swear the whole thing was orchestrated to be a TV show but it went horribly awry.
Lancey, I believe you're onto something. I ask myself why was a camera crew there catching on video the BATF taking casualties? I don't recall any initial LEO assault being caught on film before or after since the BATF assault at WACO. The gun grabbers like Brady, VPC, etc. were at the height of their influence right after Clinton took office.
