That has me wondering about the right of the people to peacefully assemble?  Is there a civil rights violation there?  Do you charge only the person who ordered it, or any officer that followed an illegal order to violate the Constitution?

Of course it's a violation. Even the pro-Trump, anti-lockdown protesters with guns were not treated this way. Trump defies legal subpoenas, which I think alone is an impeachable offence, and was charged for this by the House. Others go to jail for this. He fires IGs and makes illegal executive orders. He is an aspiring dictator, and he promised in his 2016 campaign that those who demonstrate would be carried out on a stretcher. He has no respect for the Constitution or even any knowledge of it.
