So, citizens should be allowed to ignore warrants? What government misconduct allows citizens to shoot Federal agents? --- Excessive force deployed by power hungry freaks on steroids. A very common occurrence these days. I read of too many accounts in which the cops(all type) shoot the wrong person, raid the wrong house, shoot unarmed victims...yet I haven't seen one cop go to jail for it yet.

They were after one man. They recklessly endangered the lives of 80 other people in the pursuit of one man only because the other people were deemed less important because they belonged to a fringe religious group. The warrant was bogus too, just an instrument to provoke a confrontation. The BATF arrived prepared for and provoked a small war. They started firing and tried to enter a building where innocent people were in the way. It was completely against any and all police guidelines. The BATF were a bunch of paramilitary police who wanted to be tough and shoot their guns.
