Actually policemen sometimes don't write very convincing/detailed reports because gunfights are often a blur. Part of their job is to defend their own team, so if the davidians looked like they were going to take a shot, the police would've immediately pulled the trigger as a defensive move. What happens usually, because of this, is that both shots go off within a split second of each other. So it's really hard to tell who shot first. A lot of split-second action happening, and it can be a total blur.

This just makes me feel, that as much as you want to live a freedom life, the Government will never approve because it always has to be there way. sorry I am speaking out of character and a wild imagination. If the Government had proof that they were tourists or criminals producing illegal drugs and trafficking and dealing human trafficking than I do think they were doing something bad and incriminating themselves, then they should be arrested, but I can't wrap my mind around to figure out what they really did wrong other then the weapons which probably used to hunt for food or for protection. who knows only God.😰😰😰💔💔💔, at the End the Government has to win even if there wrong.

@@sunnyvegas2778 what if they weren't resisting arrest? technically the federals shot first, and David was willing to let them in. Before asking about the "Who shot first" there's solid evidence, and even testimonies that the ATF and the surviving cultist reported that the ATF entered the compound and right before they knocked on the door, they shot three of the dogs that were trained to attack and ward off intruders, and this set a spark of panic and shock to the residents which made them retaliated and shoot back. So there was alot of miscommunications and distorted chain of events that would lead one to another. but ultimately, the cultist were even willing to admit the shame and horrors of their actions. men giving their wives to david, mothers sacrificing their daughters purity to this sick twisted false prophet, and had access to weapons they knew would attract alot of attention. all these committed acts were brought on the table by them. yet the ATF has not once shown any accountability or responsibilities for what happened at waco, and just simply brushed it off as a "Tragedy" im the type to support law enforcement, but situations like this is not unheard of. they will lie or deflect any blame thrown at them, and cover up alot of their mistakes to maintain a healthy and trusting relationship to the public, even the intentions are good. lying is nonetheless a common human trait. we play by the rules of the law, but the law doesn't make you a good person.

All that was left of the building was the steel reinforced concrete bunker where they found 32 bodies inside & 9 bodies up on top. Oh my God, If you've never see the photos of what's left of the bodies, they died a horrific death. Not everyone inside was burned beyond recognition. Many of the limbs are missing or the bones have turned to ash because of the intense heat from the fire. Many of the bodies are fused together, it was hard to tell if they were women or children. The one thing you will see & notice about the intact bodies of the adults & children found outside & inside the bunker is how they are twisted & contorted. I've read this was the effects on a body who was alive & overcome by breathing in too much gas. This got me because I could see these children were trying to scream & reaching out for someone while gasping for breaths of air. Picture that in your mind for a moment. I'll bet you weren't aware of this, they found the bodies of several men that showed they had been run over & flattened by the treads of a tank BEFORE they were burned from the fire. The photos show this. It's been years ago that I saw a video here on KZfaq that showed the interior of the steel reinforced concrete bunker. There was a hole opened up in the top of the ceiling. The reason I remember this was because the video showed that the rebar had been bent down inside. I'm no explosive expert & this is just my opinion, it looked like some type of bomb had been detonated on top of the bunker. I don't know if the 9 bodies found on top of the bunker died from shrapnel, explosive blunt force, gunshots or fire. I haven't been able to find this video again. If anybody has seen it or knows what I'm speaking about, please confirm.

Most documentaries and coverage on the issue do nothing to talk about how almost all of the children died trapped in a bunker down below. The intense fire, smoke inhalation, heat higher than an oven, and a blocked door due to the tanks literally knocking down parts of the building are to blame. The tear gas used was HIGHLY flammable and that particular type is no longer in use. But exacerbated the flames. Tremendously. Most accounts claim escape was nearly impossible and the “suicides” were the results of self-mercy to avoid the flames. Not a single fire truck was even called into action until the fire had engulfed 90% of the compound. The fire lasted some 90 minutes….. and officials did nothing to help.

Documentary? You mean TV Drama. The Netflix series is equally as biased towards David Koresh as the History Channel segment is towards the FBI/ATF. It would also have you believe David was a man of sound mind and a bit of a religious fanaticism, who was only driven crazy by the siege. You need only listen to the testimony of the survivors to understand how inaccurate that portrayal is. He was certainly charismatic... but it was a facade to lure in weak or troubled people whom he could easily manipulate. A trait common in cult leaders. The series also perpetuates the notion that the ATF and FBI (specifically the FBI in this case) were out for blood and planned to get it through the most barbaric means necessary. This is sadly just not accurate. The FBI/ATF were inappropriately aggressive. However, at the time, this was procedure for these types of entrenchments. Additionally, Behavior Analysts and Hostage Negotiators were seen as a means of stalling for a surgical assault to be planned and later executed. The series (probably just for dramatic story telling) wants you to believe the commander in charge of the situation respected what Gary (or any of the other 20 or so negotiators not depicted) was able to accomplish, despite the apparent impatience. This is untrue. They simply wanted to study the compound and plan an assault that wouldn't make them look awful on national news, which only grew more complicated overtime due to media coverage and breakdowns in negotiations (which, ironically was as portrayed... the failings of the tactical teams). You also can't blame many of the individual agents. Most were young, poorly trained officers. They were likely told how dangerous the Branch cult was, and likely feared them. The gun battle at the very start of the siege would have only solidified that feeling. It wasn't until agency reform (which took place in Clinton's second term and Bush's first term), that the FBI (more specifically in this case) began to rely more heavily on a psychological approach to hostile standoffs. There is also significantly better training for behavior analysts and negotiators. The show gets a lot right, but it definitely paints Koresh in too positive a light.

Reading these old comments; now there recordings of people inside, setting fire to the building.

I just want to know who shot first, because that is what started it off. In the show they made it pretty clear that the believe the ATF opened fire and if that's the case, then this is all to be blamed on them. However, the Branch Davidians could have proven in court with the bullet holes and so on that they did not open fire and I assume most of them would have survived.

Hard to prove anything regarding bullet holes when the entire church was burned to ash inside an hour.
