I saw the documentary a couple of times. It was pretty misleading about some things, attempting to make the ATF agents look like a people just wanting to go off on a shooting spree. Especially the flashbangs. The film makers attempted to make it seem like flashbangs were like grenades. It certainly isn't. By them meaning flashbangs were designed to kill the enemy without hurting innocents or police officers means that the flashbangs blind and deafen everyone in the room so that the entering officers can take down the suspect; not killing the suspect from the actual concussion. You would probably have to tape that thing to your head to kill you by concussion.

I found that the film made me frustrated many times. It played scary music when showing the agents or people arguing in favor of the agents like Schumer. All the while playing sad music while showing the church members. It attempts to impeach any justification by the ATF to enter the complex...even when it admits that there was more than a reasonable suspicion of stockpiles of illegal weapons.

The film acts as if the agents were supposed to roll over and just take fire. Even though who fired the first shot is arguable, the officers have the right to shoot first if they believe their life is in danger. Considering who ever was shooting from the building had a firearm, the agents must have seen this firearm and responded appropriately. And this is assuming the agents fired first which no one knows according to the film. And perhaps we could know if the film actually took the initiative to interview the officers that were present at the time and location that the first shots went off.

The only thing I agree with the film on is that the use of physiological warfare (playing weird sounds and other songs during the night, etc) was probably excessive. Although they might be permitted to use those tactics in an attempt at forcing them to give up. Which I can see the valid use of that in that case.

The film attempts to frame the situation as if the troops and officers outside the complex were acting in a military siege and wish to "destroy an enemy", and therefore their decision to stay in the building was warranted. But this is untrue, as the people inside have the ability to leave the building and put an end to the conflict the entire time.
