That article is why I have always emphasized picking up cheap, single shot shotguns at every opportunity. Garage sales, yard sales, estate sales, private sales. These are force multipliers. They can be rigged to cover every entrance and will totally disrupt a "full bladder" raid. Eye screws, heavy strength string, duct tape and a hack saw to duck bill the end of the barrel. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. If they do, they might find themselves taking a dirt nap during a full bladder raid.
I agree with everything that alabamagunowner said... My God, what a load of manure! My dad was a cop, his career winding down just as mine was about to take off. The federal agents I knew then were - ironically - guys that my dad worked with either before or after these guys 'went federal'; and Waco marked the nadir of policing for them all. These feds retired, seeing 20 years ago that there was nothing good or honorable left anymore in federal law enforcement.
Waco was a success in the eyes of the other feds, in spite of their outward claims - or general consensus of - that event being a black eye for law enforcement. The feds went in and killed the two computer hackers that were the whole sum of why the feds did what they did. In this light, EVERYTHING the feds did at Waco makes absolute crystal clear sense. And the targeting of the REST of the Davidians was, coldly calculated, an effort to insure that there were no witnesses. That there would be no narrators to tell the story of the two computer geeks among the Davidians who inadvertently one day came across information that no civilian was ever meant to see.
The problem with remembering Waco is that even 20 years later, patriots focus on the what rather than the why. The same mistake has been made with the OKC bombing, and in some quarters, 9/11.
When an event has happened, the thing you have to look at is 'who benefits', or "cui bono". That's police investigations 101. It speaks to motive and suspect. So when I think of Waco, I know beyond any doubt in MY mind that David Koresh and the other victims were the ones who lost. Watch the 20th anniversary edition of "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" and near the end, note how the ATF hoisted their flag in victory over the charred, still-smoldering corpses of the Davidians. Then read "No More Wacos" by Dave Kopel & Paul Blackman - realize that there are only two logical conclusions to the Waco massacre. Either the whole affair from beginning to end is an illustration of complete and systemic incompetence on the part of all federal law enforcement, or that the feds deliberately went in and committed mass murder on a scale that had never been seen before, at least on television.
But when you consider the criminal actions of federal law enforcement as a whole, the fabrication of evidence as most ably repudiated by Dr. Fredric Whitehurst, the historic malfeasance of federal authorities in olden times as well as modern events (i.e., Fast & Furious) - and it is clear that the greatest threat to our liberty is big government itself, followed closely by corrupt corporations (banks in particular).
Lt. Blue Nut had better get ahead of the steep learning curve that stands before him, or one day possibly very soon he will have his pompous ass handed to him on a plate by an enraged citizenry that has prepared for the tactics he considers his bread and butter. IF anyone cries for him on that day, "it will not be I".
I've already turned in MY badge and will no longer be a part of the system. It is time for the system to be removed and replaced with one that respects liberty and justice! Had it not been for my heartfelt desire to serve the public in the footsteps of my dad, one of the last great lawmen of an older generation, I may have chosen a different career path 20 years ago.
As it is now, everyone with a badge now has to choose which side they will stand on; current events are shaping up to force a choice. That choice involves their oath.
The Blue Knights is a registered trademark and name of an international law enforcement motorcycle club - did this guy get permission to use it?? Lots of BK members are now retired and are as scruffy looking as their outlaw counterparts (Hells Angels etc).
Kokesh started the fire!!?? Total BS, and the horse they rode in on! The whole article stinks of statist "You will obeh mah authoritah" from top to bottom.
Another brain washed (brain dead?)federal jackass with an over-inflated opinion of himself. his team is going to be screwed the first time they encounter something more than women and childern to terrorize.
Oh, I dunno. I think "Blue Knights" is pretty apropos. After all, knights made their "living," so to speak, extorting wealth from the hapless peasants they in exchange for dubious "protection" from other gangs. A convenient arrangement, in which everybody benefited, except of course for the peasants, the only members of the productive class in that benighted era.

What a bunch of self congratulatory bullshit.
Blue Knight my ass....should be tried and convicted for murder.

The author may not have learned anything, but at least a few of the cops commenting on his article did.

The rest of us learned a lot, too. The author might not like what we learned, though.

As I remarked in my blog post on this, a Blue Knight wears a blue helmet, right?

Looks like the comments on the article agree with you, Mike.
The "blue knight" is just another badge-wearing thug. Without their gang of thugs with them they are pussies.
I have said before, that LEO's have become more brazen, more lawless and more arrogant since Waco. This article proves that point.

Note the intellectual cowardice brazenly displayed on this site.
"NOTE: Only law enforcement professionals may comment on articles."
Whats the matter?
Afraid someone might have something to say that discredits your world viewpoint that you cannot refute?
Oh well,it actually looks like alot of the cops themselves aren't too hot about this article.....
Another brain washed (brain dead?)federal jackass with an over-inflated opinion of himself. his team is going to be screwed the first time they encounter something more than women and childern to terrorize.
At what stage in their training do cops like this drop English and instead phrase everything in rhat absurd sounding Tacticalese?
