Waco still hasn’t fully recovered from what they did at Mt. Carmel. From the outside in it seems like a freak incident that happened and then was over. In reality it informs the culture of the entire city. Attitudes toward government, what religious groups gain traction and what narratives they present to do it, so much of it is grounded in that moment of trauma and people coming to Waco for the first time often don’t even know that’s where it happened.

Sorry, Waco had used tanks on the compound but after looking online they weren’t used afterwards. The agents were using it as a photo op afterwards but I must’ve been getting my wires crossed

Still relevant though because Waco was pretty much a demonstration on how police can be used to get around restrictions on the military not being law enforcement. A total of fourteen armored vehicles were used there with two of them being literal tanks which is wild
