    I don’t know about “oversteps”… Screwups most definitely. Koresh was raping young women and there were valid search warrants; it became a thing because the DoJ royally fucked up the execution of those warrants and let it get out of control. Randy weaver had a bench warrant for failure to appear on a federal firearms charge. Again, as he was in the process of being served, someone (ATF agent Art Roderick) shot their dog when it ran at him, kicking off the escalation of violence that made the routine process serving into a tragedy.

    It was not “overreach”. It was a fuck up.
