They had no warrant and were escorted by people that had jackets on that said police. Didn't democrats just get killed by someone impersonating a cop?

Footage of the arrest shows an agent telling Lander: ‘You’re obstructing’.
The magic words they need to "justify" this...

Our government is arresting us citizens and I hear about it from a British news agency. This timeline is fucked up
Lander replies: 'You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant'
Unfortunately it seems like they do!
I can't believe I have to say this, but let's not promote shooting people.
I completely get what your going for.
But...
You know where this road ends? You have a big mouth now, and I get it, I get it so very much but this ends with thousands if not millions of dead Americans in a civil war.
If you have any questions about how that would work out, maybe ask Yugoslavia where these roads end and if it was all worth it.
I'm not saying you should lie on your back and let them walk over you, I'm saying you want to thread this violence needle extremely careful or you WILL get more blood than you bargained for.
Because it's what the right wants. Why do you think trump sent the National Guard and Marines for 90 days? That it's not just for LA, but for the entire US? He wants violence. He wants to take over the donor state, sanctuary cities so he can declare Marshall Law.
The parade was incredibly embarrassing for him while peaceful protests happened all over the US. The protests were full of republicans. He isn't stable and everyone knows what happens to unstable dictators.
The right is doing this like a circle jerk on their platforms. Why does the left always have to be above it? The right thinks they can act however they want because they are the only side that can play the violence card affectively. They boast about it all the time. I have no empathy for dead fascists.
Edit: I'm not saying the above as mod, but as a user. Lemmy doesn't let you undistinguish yourself. I also wouldn't let the right talk about shooting the left, which I am saying as mod.
Serious question, but at what point does your stance change? Like, at what point does violent resistance become undeniably the path forward?
Peaceful protest can only go so far and can only achieve so much. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
