So now the military are arresting people?

I really hope some leftists are stockpiling arms and weapons.

No, they do not have that power. They are able to detain someone to hand over to the cops, so you might say it's the same difference. Most importantly, military rules of engagement are quite strict, nothing like our police. Can't read the article, but this guy probably wasn't just mouthing off a bit.

Yes, we are, because some of us don't have our head up our ass in regards to gun rights. And BTW, for anyone reading, bullets are far more important than having multiple arms. Guns turn into ineffective clubs when the ammo runs out. And one more thing, better to have 3 or 5 guns that you're really good at than 40 you don't know so well.

He crossed a yellow tape boundary. The article doesn't have a picture of the boundary though, so can't tell if it was obvious, or something that had been poorly secured, was laying on the ground, etc.

He also happened to not only be a citizen in general, but a US Army veteran that earned US citizenship via his service to the country.

Speaking to reporters after he was released, the civilian identified himself as Marcos Leao, 27. Leao said he was an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he crossed a yellow tape boundary and was asked to stop.
