^^^ This.
While I understand some peoples' concerns about being arrested, if you follow the LEOs commands to leave or be arrested, there's not much chance of seeing the back seat of a patrol car. Just leave peacefully.
Rack and DL made a conscious decision to stand their ground and face arrest, instead of complying with the (unlawful) command to leave.
This confrontation with the LEOs has been brewing for a long time, but not between us and them, but more likely between the legislators who hate our guts and and us. One (or possibly more) of them must have gotten his buttons pushed and used whatever influence he had (and I deliberately use the past tense) to force the LEOs to make the arrest.
There is a lot of drama unfolding behind the scenes, and in (what might seem to take forever) time it will come to light. I have full faith and confidence in the legal team to discover (and uncover) the corrupt machinations that led up to this fateful and illegal arrest.
There isn't enough popcorn for what we're about to experience, and I'm proud and honored to be able to watch from the sidelines, while standing shoulder to shoulder with some of the finest, most honorable men I've ever known.
Some older folks here might remember that Reader's Digest had a section in every magazine entitled, "My Most Memorable Character" or something to that effect. It's easy to see the front line members of the Patriot Picket filling many issues for years to come.
Well done, Patriots!
I disagree with your assertion that LEOs were "forced" to do anything. They do so willingly. They can choose to uphold the cornerstone of all law, which is the constitution. They can choose to be afraid of not doing what they are told because they might lose something. Anyone too fearful of losing a job over right and wrong (supporting and defending the Constitution....) will never risk their liberty; much less their lives.
The Nuremberg defense is never a defense.
