It's early 1993 and
you are Attorney General Janet Reno. A situation at a religious
compound near Waco, Texas is necessitating your attention. A federal
raid on the compound has gone bad. Armed militants within the compound
have repulsed the raid and killed several federal agents. Inside the
compound are approximately 80 people. About 15 people are thought to
be armed and dangerous. The rest - women, children and the elderly -
are not considered dangerous, though they are considered to be
brainwashed by David Koresh, the charismatic and demented leader of
the compound.
The standoff is now
dragging into the second month, and federal authorities on the scene
want a resolution to the crisis. They want you to authorize military
force against the compound to end the siege. Specifically, the
authorities want you to authorize the use of military CS riot control
agents within the walls of the compound. Do you authorize or deny the
use of CS riot control agents within the compound? |
 Discuss this TDG
(Hint: The solution to this TDG has a very specific military textbook
answer.)
Solution:
According to U.S. Military manuals available at the time, riot
control agents should not be used in closed structures except
under extreme circumstances. According to FM 19-15:
"Generally, persons reacting to CS are incapable of executing
organized and concerted actions and excessive exposure to CS may
make them incapable of vacating the area."
" The riot control agent dispersers should not be used to
introduce a riot control agent directly into a closed structure
except under extreme circumstances."
Therefore, there are no justifications for the use of CS riot control
agents in this scenario. |
