> Let's say for the sake of argument they decided to just let them be - no police move in, no military, just let them be in the building, what would have happened next? That's exactly the catastrophic scenario: multiple military, law enforcement units wilfully insubordinating, for the whole country, and other people in uniform to see. Imagine what were to happen if that lasted for a few more hours? More military units, and more people in uniform would've reneged on their duty. What will happen then when somebody finally will comply with orders, and turn guns on those who didn't? They will shoot back. If the history tell anything, this is how civil wars are often started in Americas: the 1828 Colombia civil war, second Venezuela civil war, Bolivian civil war, the 1000 day war, Chilean civil war. It almost always the same — One group of riled up soldiers comes to the square, another sent to flush them our, but it reneges too. More, and more soldiers are sent, snowballing until somebody fires the first shot, starting a massacre. And then nations break along the lines of loyalty to the official government, and an alternative one.
