The lesson of WACO is to pick up the person of interest in public instead of SWATing their house (or getting the address wrong).

That assumes that the desire at Waco was for a non-violent encounter, an assumption without much evidence behind it.

I thought the lesson of Waco was that law enforcement officers could get away with murdering women and children.

That would be the lesson, but they are more worried about justifying continued militarization of the police forces than they are about not killing the citizenry.
