Well made but did seem bias
27 March 2023
So right away I agree with many that it took the pro FBI, ATF stance but atleast it did point out in the series the lead negotiators frustration with military, ATF, FBI using aggressive and unprovoked attacks on the Davidians that just created a lost of trust and progress in getting everyone out. I'm amazed how many reviewers on here focus so much on the cult and the brainwashing and almost suggest as if that part of the story justifies the ATFs actions. I personally believe if someone had come to the house in a calm professional manner and just knocked on the door this whole situation could have been prevented. There was no proof the cult was violent and would attack unprovoked. The fact that the Davidians allowed the agents a ceasefire to get their injured men off the grounds proves this theory. Also, as mentioned throwing people in jail, after excepting release, proves, they weren't being held in the compound against their will, but throwing them in jail, just gave justification not to give in and come out. I don't know the guy's name, but he was with either ATF or FBI and kept saying it was all about safety of the women and children. BS, after they rampaged the compound shooting through every wall in the building proved they didn't care about the kids or women. The worst interviewed in this video was the female reporter with the round glasses. She blatantly said that everybody in that house was responsible for killing the four ATF agents she gave zero criticism to anything the agencies did. So overall the documentary was well made but should have given the audience a balanced counter argument against the FBI/ATF interviews narratives. Maybe a researcher or ex law enforcement that pushed back on their claims. As many also pointed out this documentary did a poor job on the details leading up to the raid and sounds like there was zero communication with David Kershe before the raid. They had a man on the inside and gave almost zero details about his experience on the inside. Well made documentary but left out a lot of information and had a fairly pro government stance.
