It's an unknown how many times this can and will be done before "people start standing up to them". I won't even guess.
First of all, the Feds operate with surprise and overwhelming force. Unless a person's battle rifle is within an arm's length at all times, being taken by surprise is very possible. Swarmed and cuffed is a headwind to standing up.
Secondly, the use of overwhelming force is their practice and has been proven to either negate or cow resistance in a big hurry.
Third, anyone with a brain knows that to take on such forces mano a manos by shooting means death. The hope that courts will "straighten it out" if one surrenders instead will probably stay many a trigger finger.
Me? I reckon I can plan this and I can plan that... but what and how the Big One plays out at my house... folks hide'n in the tall grass, please make the after action report an accurate one.
Accurate reporting, spread against the tide of censorship will be the log of many a martyr. By blood and/or legal fees, incarceration.
The problem as I see it, is that individuals by themselves are easy pickings for an organized goon squad. Successful resistance to the tyranny barreling down on us must therefore be organized and coordinated. Some of the basic principles we adhere to already form the foundation for that organization and coordination. But "connecting the dots"? Super difficult when our enemy has surveillance and eavesdropping capabilities like nothing ever known before.
The HAMs among us had best field mobile transmitters. Because news/updates to patriots listening at prearranged times... well, you know how that would turn out for your stationary rig better than I do.
A sign I would take as hopeful would be for individuals to have access to something actionable - via extensive doxing. Strip away the anonymity of goons and their bosses, their family's location... and now you've got something to be proactive with. (By public shaming, of course)
