The thing is, if Democrats or anyone else is looking to lower the temperature right now, what people need most is a reason to believe there are still political or legal path out of this. Scolding people to remain peaceful isn't it. Urging patience until the midterms isn't either.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.
They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
