If you do not leave peacefully they will remove you by force

If you resist you will be removed and arrested.


Playing devil's advocate, perhaps they were removed for their own safety? Look how heated people get here about things, think of what could have happened if some hot head saw them and wanted to show off or get a chip off his shoulder? Anyway the easy counter to their 1st amandment rights being taken is that they were asked to leave private property then resisted police intervention, any lawyer worth anything will play on that.
you ain't kidding devil's advocate.

same devil spin they told when they decided to quelch legal protest by establishing free-speech-zones. fabulous idea. make it so protesters are quarantined conveniently out of the president's sight. that way if he doesn't see the dissent, there is no dissent. Even when 11 million people are dissenting.
