    I'm aware that the ATF scarcely acted honourably in the 'back story' to the siege but that's no justification for trying to kill police. If I'm missing something further that might point towards some kind of self-defence legal defence, then I'm open to enlightenment.

    From the Senate Report
    from FBI Assistant Director Danny Coulson's own statement to the FBI's Office of Professional responsibility:

    I agree with you that the shooting of any law enforcement officer is absolutely wrong. But as Squire Robinson mentioned it is not as black and white as you believe.

    Remember, the charge against Mr. Weaver was for making a sawed off shotgun. The Weaver home place on Ruby Ridge was not some kind of sprawling white supremacist compound.
