However the FBI has to be aware of the martyrdom effect here, and that the deaths of any of these guys just plays into their hands. If he's still alive its much easier to control the narrative and end this thing peacefully.
Now, these guys have a rallying cause and the authorities have less control of the message. My real beef here is that some of these militia guys will watch this video and see a martyr. Making a bigger effort to keep him alive would have blunted that.
Orrrrr they could just not try to appeal to crazy people's thoughts and protect themselves.

I am guessing you can't see the forest past the trees here.
Do you think what happened was a win for LE? If anything it made their job more dangerous as now they'll have to worry about retaliation, if not here then somewhere down the road.
A peaceful solution would have made everyone's jobs a lot safer.
