168 innocent people were killed in retribution of Waco and Ruby Ridge. Hasn't the government realized that they can't assault their own citizenry without repercussion by now? Does it take full scale military style operations to serve an arrest warrant? Do agents have to indiscriminately shoot non identified targets to end a stand off? Why does the federal government have this power to begin with? Can federal agencies be reigned in? We all as Americans should begin a wave of communication demanding legislators defang fed LE power to conduct these raids. Too many innocent people have died due to mistakes and agency over-confidence. Waco and Ruby Ridge weren't the North Hollywood Shootout. These were people in their own homes. These arrests could have been affected in much better terms without the overkill or bloodshed on both sides. It's time to demand an end to the unfettered powers of the DEA, BATFE, FBI, CIA, et all.
