Law Enforcement, Bush-style vs. Clinton-style

Posted 07 Apr 2008 in Bill Clinton, George W. Bush

An interesting contrast…

Religious extremists as handled by Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and President George W. Bush:

sanangelo_bushSAN ANGELO, Texas – Officials on Monday announced that 534 women and children — more than twice as many as had been earlier reported — were removed from a polygamist compound and that all 401 children have been placed in state custody because a judge deemed them in imminent danger of physical abuse.

An unknown number of men remained there and are not free to leave, officials said.

State police earlier made an arrest as they searched the sprawling rural compound built by polygamist leader Warren Jeffs in their investigation into a possible underage marriage.

Religious extremists as handled by Attorney General Janet Reno and President William Jefferson Clinton:

waco_clintonWACO, Texas – On February 28, 1993, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) attempted to execute a search warrant at the Branch Davidian ranch at Mount Carmel, a property located nine miles (14 km) east-northeast of Waco, Texas. An exchange of gunfire resulted in the deaths of four agents and six Davidians. A subsequent 51-day siege by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ended on April 19 when fire destroyed the compound. 76 people, including 21 children and two pregnant women, along with Davidian leader Vernon Wayne Howell, better known as David Koresh, died in the fire. This has come to be known as the Waco Siege or the Waco Massacre.

Hyperbole, I know. But you can bet your ass we’d be hearing about the “Bush police state” had the current incident ended the way Waco did.
