Don't forget Waco. The authorities went to a "religious compound" with their warrants, and a gun fight ensued. We all know how it ended. So whether or not the state had a reason or a right to be in El Dorado, and whether or not they suspected the people to be armed, they were going to another "religious compound" that COULD have been much like the Branch Davidians. If I were a state trooper, I would want to go in heavy too, just in case...
