ICE is trying to incite a riot in order to justify having the army flatten Portland
They are, but only up until the point where the President federalises them
He’s using the National Guard because it’s explicitly criminal to use the regular army
The police took a very different lesson from that. Per the Wikipedia article you linked:
On September 19, 2012, the Yolo County District Attorney’s office, citing insufficient evidence, announced that it would not prosecute any of the police officers involved in the incident for illegal use of force.
What exactly do you call a situation where state militias are using force to prevent armed federal employees dressed in military-style uniforms from attacking the people?
Actually launching a civil war is really really bad. I expect to see it done only after everything else fails
I will note that there is a huge financial incentive to not do that. Instead, they’re challenging the federal deployments in court, with some success

A Treasury spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the legality of featuring Mr. Trump on the coin.
In general, the US makes it illegal to produce anything which people could be reasonably expected to confuse for actual US currency unless you’re doing at the behest of the government.
It’s probably a lot more effective to build a stamping machine which re-stamps them with a Traitor label on the head, and a Russian flag on the back.
Tesla robotaxis had a string of crashes their first day
I do what I can to popularize nonviolent protest
There is a very large safety difference between Waymo and Tesla robotaxis right now.
What is easy to validate can be time-consuming to figure out in the first place. Plus per the article, the US will provide weapons capable of hitting the facilities.
Any cop, no matter how lowly, wants to be called “officer”
