US agents are "peace officers" the last time I looked. The initial search warrant didn't involve the military, only after weeks of a standoff were they involved.

Would it have been more palatable for you if the officers gunned down were local police?

I have a strong hunch that those who bad mouth cops doing their jobs also bad mouth the national guard at Kent State 40 years ago.

No, it would have been more palatable if illegal aliens were being gunned down, especially drug cartel gang members. The whole Waco debacle was a cluster. I have a strong hunch that those who bad mouth cops doing their jobs also bad mouth the national guard at Kent State 40 years ago.

Well you're not describing me, but when cops occasionally screw up, they are not above criticism, accountability, and most importantly, they are NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
