I honestly don't remember the exact details of what happened back then, and because on GFY people call you out on things...
I looked it up before posting.

The Waco siege began on February 28, 1993, and ended violently 50 days later on April 19. The siege began when the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), accompanied by several members of the media, attempted to execute a search warrant at Mount Carmel Center ranch, a property of the religious group Branch Davidians located in the community of Elk, Texas, nine miles (14 kilometers) east-northeast of Waco.
On February 28, shortly after the attempt to serve the warrant, an intense gun battle erupted, lasting nearly two hours. In this armed exchange, four agents and six Branch Davidians were killed. Upon the ATF's failure to execute the search warrant, a siege was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The siege ended 50 days later when a fire destroyed the compound after a second assault was launched. Seventy-six men, women and children, including the sect leader, David Koresh, died in the fire. The Waco siege also has been described as the "Waco massacre."

So it pretty much happened the way I thought it did. On top of that, the fucking ATF brought the press along with them!
In short, ATF attempts to serve a warrant and four officers are shot dead. WTF planet do you live on where that is acceptable? If ten officers knock on my door and have a warrant for illegal firearms or a meth lab or whatever, I open up the door and let them in. You don't start shooting people dead...
