From www.texasranger.org.

Rangers were present at the notorious Branch Davidian tragedy outside Waco in the settlement of Elk.[1] Elk is in Company "F"’s jurisdiction, but there was no doubt from the beginning that every Ranger would be involved before it was over. When the tragedy reached its conclusion, there were scores of homicides and the area was a murder site — and that’s what it was: murder. With conflict between the FBI and the ATF, the Federal government requested that the Rangers conduct an investigation of the entire incident. This is the only time in history that a state law-enforcement agency has investigated a Federal agency. The Rangers did their job in an extremely professional method and no one ever questioned the integrity or the results of the investigation.

Norm,

Those Rangers were sworn in as US Deputy Marshal for the investigation, so technically they were "temporary" federal agents...:D

Food for thought, Postal Inspectors were also members of the Special Counsel that investigated the WACO incident for Senator john Danforth.

What did they need Ranger(s) for? Whatever happened to "One Riot One Ranger?" They should've just sent Ranger Walker in to Roundhouse Kick the crap out of everybody!!!

On a serious note though, good info Norm I didn't know about that.
