All we need is 1 cop with really big balls.

He goes there, unarmed, and tries to arrest them with handcuffs.

The militants will threaten him with guns or shove him away... Which means they are resisting arrest and threatening a cop with murder.

He leaves... and now law-enforcement has all the pretext it needs to bring the hammer down.

Send in wheeled tanks and use tear-gas and rubber-bullets and steamroll them.

Arresting people for "resisting arrest".
Cops do that every day.
