Summary

Ruby Ridge was the site of a siege of a cabin occupied by the Weaver family in Boundary County, Idaho in August 1992. It began on August 21, when deputies of the United States Marshals Service came to arrest Randy Weaver under a bench warrant after his failure to appear on federal firearms charges. The behavior of federal agents during these events drew intense scrutiny. Weaver's lawyer Gerry Spence eventually accused the federal agencies of criminal misconduct for their actions during the engagement. At the end of Weaver's trial, the Department of Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility formed the Ruby Ridge Task Force (RRTF) in an attempt to investigate Spence's charges; their report raised questions about all of the participating agencies' conduct and policies. Joining former special forces veteran Eric Tansey is Delta Force Operator Brent Tucker from The Antihero Podcast to talk about federal agencies' history of heavy handed responses to their own citizens.
