...it sounds like the law on the scene is pushing the protesters, hoping for violence.
Well, I think I know how it's going to go down the next time.
While most non-ranchers seem not to get it, when the feds 'negotiate' like this (and have been for decades):
eventually, things get messy.
News says they've agreed to surrender at 8am PT. One hour.
That's not entirely accurate. Read the book "Stalling for Time" by former FBI agent Gary Noesner. He was a negotiator for 23 years and eventually became Chief Negotiator. Ruby Ridge was a mess and they tried to fix mistakes they made. Waco started off much better, but there was still a disconnect between tactical and negotiations teams. While negotiations was working to get children out, tactical teams were buzzing the compound with helicopters and armored vehicles were doing donuts on Koresh's vehicle. The left hand was doing one thing and the right hand was doing another. People were starting to leave the compound but tactical pressure started to cause problems that undermined negotiations. After that turned out to be another mess, Freeh took over and gave Noesner whatever he needed to accomplish things peacefully. The Republic of Texas incident was a great example of peaceful negotiations which ended well. Even this situation, which is standing at 40 days and counting, has only been violent when Finicum reached for a gun multiple times. Nobody has moved in or fired shots on anybody else involved. Things have changed since the early 90s where federal government negotiations are concerned.
