The wacko from Wako wasn't the only one that made a series of very bad decisions.

The method employed by the feds produced horrible results. Please note I'm not saying that Koresh acted properly at all.

Perhaps a better example would be the 23 year old mother in Lima Ohia being shot dead while she held her baby in her arms. The bullet passed through the baby before killing the mother.

In my case the police chose not to run in and grab my wife.

They had heard a false rumor that my house was wired with explosives.

Instead they chose to use a very contraversial method. They called, on the phone, and asked her come out. Which she did.

This invasive method is used so the police can, dishonestly, avoid the search warrant process. If they arrest a person in their home they are then able to search the area in hope of finding evidence.

Wako is an example of this dishonest method of bypassing the United States Constitution. Koresh had a arrest warrant out for something like child abuse. The ATF "helped" serve the warrant. They were there looking for illegal weapons but couldn't get a search warrant.
