You’re incorrect. The poster’s first sentence was about Koresh. The following sentences were about today’s incident. The poster believes the Marshals should have picked up the suspect in today’s raid outside of his house. That would not have been a good idea.
Let's suppose we accept your premise. Now, give us the details as to why that is not a good idea. Thanks in advance.
they frequently pick people up in public, on the job etc... if they can discern that they are most likely unarmed.
Perhaps they surveilled him for a period of time and concluded that he was always armed.
This is what the poster stated above. They had a "Feeling", there were speculating.
And they're likely correct. IF they did have the suspect under surveillance and could have bagged him by surprise in some parking lot after exiting his vehicle, it would likely have resulted in NO deaths.
As it is, there are dead cops all over the places because the suspect obviously have access to adequate firepower, ammo, cover etc etc...
Still waiting...
The actor had Home Field advantage of cover and unknown arms.
