so I discount most of this article as bunk.

Face it - ANYTHNG not in agreement with the opinions you formed while watching McNutty's propaganda piece Waco: Rules of Engagement is bunk.

The Gov't did not do its job. At no point did the Sheriff WALK UP TO THE DOOR AND KNOCK ON IT! If he was AFRAID to do this he should find a new job. When Gov't resorts to full combat gear to do a search FIRST then Gov't ought to expect to be fired upon. I respect cops and Sheriffs because of the shoulder patch they wear NOT because they carry guns. That patch represents a community. Guns merely represent the holder. If I see a sheriff coming at me I'm gonna think "uh oh", what'd I do?! If I see guys in combat gear I'm gonna think "praise the Lord and pass the ammo- let me see how many of these SOB's I can Kill"! The Waco thing was BUNGLED by the "professionals" involved.
