[MrB]

At this point, it doesn’t really matter what the original reason was for the feds to show up.

They’ve overstepped, overthugged, and they are in the wrong.
What’s right is that they should leave. But they won’t.
They can’t be seen as backing down anywhere or any time.

[Gaffer]

When these young men start mistreating women of any age, and wear all that cool desert gear and act tough and resolute against any reason, they risk the response from old men who have the ability to reach out and touch them.

[Sopater]

What’s right is that they should leave. But they won’t.

That is a very important statement and observation of fact. Often times, even when the person in "authority" knows that they have gone beyond what is necessary and/or "right", they will not back down for fear of being seen as weak or... even worse, "wrong". Justification and cover-up are the next tactics that will be used to ensure that whatever the outcome is, it can be blamed on those who would dare to oppose "authority".

[Psalm 144]

They’ve overstepped, overthugged, and they are in the wrong.
What’s right is that they should leave. But they won’t.
They can’t be seen as backing down anywhere or any time.

A rock and a hard place. They can’t go forward either.

They have brought things to the brink no matter what they do now.
