In reply to the discussion: Video of fully armed MAGAts outside FBI offices. [View all]MarineCombatEngineer
(18,275 posts)29. And guess what
If armed Feds came onto state property, IE public property and dispersed them by force, then they can be arrested and sued civilly for violating their civil rights, it has happened quite often with the Feds/officers being reprimanded and or fired and criminally charged.
And I can pretty well guarantee that if the Feds came out to state property and tried to disperse them, the Phoenix Police would intervene and tell the Feds to get back on their own property and leave law enforcement to local police, the Feds are not very well liked here in Phoenix.
Heres a question, suppose the protesters refused to leave PUBLIC PROPERTY, then what? The Feds can't arrest them, they don't have jurisdiction.
I know, i live here.

Look, the reason the cops didn't move in is because the MAGAt's weren't breaking the law,
