You don't know what's happening to the taken people, but it seems pretty tame to you?
>Should they just let the protesters/rioters burn down the courthouse?
You're implying a binary, which is a common fallacy. It's not helpful, and is in fact provocative, to respond to critics of some behavior to the effect of, "So, what, they should do the extreme opposite thing?"

I don't think they're being killed/maimed/"dissapeared" (south american style) as another commenter put it, but i agree that detainment without identification is a problem and it should stop.
