The whole thing was a cluster fuck, there were all sorts of laws the ATF broke in order to murder all those kids

it was a planned raid + publicity stunt gone horribly wrong.
a quote from one of the jurors from the jury trial that acquitted the branch davidians on the murder and conspiracy to murder charges:
One juror stated to the San Antonio Express-News, "When we heard all that testimony, there was no way we could find them guilty of murder." He added that "We felt provocation was pretty evident. When the firestorm started, everybody was trying to cover their behinds...I thought two agents in plain clothes should have gone in there and knocked on the door (to issue warrants)".
