For the most complete account on who was legally responsible for what happened at WACO please google the text of the 2000 Special Counsel Investigation as well as the civil case what was filed by Davidian survivors and relatives. In all cases Koresh and the Davidians were held responsible and government found not guilty of wrong doing. If you watch the mini-series the facts reached in these investigations are presented fairly but of course there will be those who choose to believe personal accounts and accusations of Davidians and their supporters which are presented uncritially, in spite of the fact that these have been refuted in every unbiased investigation and court case.
In the end Koresh and Davidians chose to fight the Government rather than submit to a lawful warrant. They bragged about their opposition, belief and willingness to murder and die. It is sobering to consider how many people still are willing to believe lies and consipiracies contrary to all evidence as demonstrated most recently by the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
