KATU is reporting “Federal law enforcement officers converged on the wildlife refuge after the arrests and were expected to remain at the site throughout the night. It was unclear how many members of the armed group, if any, were at the refuge when the law enforcement officers arrived.”
TPTB just had to do it. All they had to do was wait it out.
Patience and commonsense was never the strongpoints of the Fed.

The guys never should have been leaving the refuge and traveling all over-this wouldn’t have happened then.
Feds killed one,shot another-and the FBI claimed THEY were not going to escalate the situation-I believe shooting two guys,killing one of them counts as escalating the situation.
