First off there is a series on jewflix that actually explains it really well. You should watch it. But basically David Koresh had what the FBI called a cult, he had a bunch of illegally made full auto guns because they were also prepper types and the ATF got mad about it. Anyway, atf and fbi surrounded his compound and tried to arrest him/his people. A couple fed bois got shot dead, and after a long standoff occuring over a few months. the feds got impatient and brought in tanks. They then used the tanks to insert tear gas which then caught the entire building on fire and burned like 76 people alive (many of the victims were kids). The feds claimed the cult was molesting kids to try and save face but in all likelihood they shouldn't have killed people like they did. Its a classic example of government trying to save face and not be defeated so they just kill everyone.
