Maybe you don’t know this so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, but those were Federal law enforcement—who don’t tend to drive around in patrol-cop livery—detaining and arresting people suspected of setting a courthouse on fire.
You can peacefully protest outside of a courthouse, or you can riot, but if you riot then yes, you should be detained, arrested, charged and prosecuted for your offenses. That same courthouse has been trespassed, vandalized, barricaded and been set on fire multiple times between 2020 and 2021.
