ATF had their videographers and PR people there to record the whole thing. They had no intention of pulling off a bloodless resolution and that's why they didn't arrest Koresh in public. They wanted a nice PR win for the agency but the cult members didn't cooperate. Lot's of video, photo, and forensic evidence went missing and the site was kept off-limits. The entire front door of the compound has never been recovered which held evidence of the initial gunfire. Weird something that significant from the site has disappeared. Similar to how FBI agent phones "accidentally" get erased and FISA investigations rely on circular and fake evidence. Chuck Schumer was an unapologetic supporter of the ATF/FBI during the hearings. Tells you all you need to know about deep state cooperation and corruption.
