A LOT of false equivalency on this thread.

The OP is speaking of planned insurrection of the United States Government. Call it a coup, sedition...both are correct. That calls for maximum effort since you are chasing people who wish to overthrow our government.....ala many countries in South America or Africa.

The divergence to protests gone amok, resulting in destruction of property is an entirely different thing. Many arrests were possible on scene. Most not protestors, but agitators. That action is deplorable, at best, and in every case possible followed up by local authorities to determine, not only involvement, but intent.
