The paucity of this line of argument is that it is provably false. Texas state officials COULD and DID investigate child abuse charges. They COULD and DID apprehend Koresh peaceably. The COULD and DID impound his weapons for the duration. And Koresh was NOT CONVICTED. Note that child abuse and similar accusation...
