They'll stand around and expertly do nothing.
Because these is nothing to do. Literally. I'm sure they'll instigate something.
The military won't. Especially guys trained like this. Everything the regime is doing is meant to scare people into submission and I don't think they're very happy with the lack of success in that regard.
The feds though? After the way they chased and tackled a guy for throwing a sandwich at them, and how they happily abduct families and generally don't care about people's safety in general? They sure as fuck will..
The fascists are trying to pressure people into an armed reaction so they can declare martial law and cancel elections
I thought the guy with the sandwich ran off in a very Monty Python-esque manner. They might have tackled him in his apartment the next day though, but I seem to remember the subway sandwich guy initially escaping. I could have that wrong though.
And if nobody takes the bait, the administration just declares that they've saved Portland and it's peaceful there now, you're welcome.
