It’s cool and good that juries can nullify laws, but that doesn’t mean the actions didn’t actually happen.

Plus they weren’t even charged with most of the crimes we have live video of them committing.

They’ll get themselves shot by lawmen eventually.

And if they shoot someone first that just discredits everyone associated with them.

It's not so much that they were peaceful, as that they're mostly all cowards waiting for someone else to make the first move.

on the other hand, it's not like they impersonated journalists to get access to plant bugs or something like that. I feel like if you're talking directly to a camera with the full expectation that the footage will be used in a publicly released documentary, you can't really complain when that footage ends up in a courtroom

Yes, but someone is innocent until proven guilty. So they're weren't "found" innocent as that was the initial presumption going in.
