So what would happen if the Tennessee State police arrested the ATF if they try to break Tennessee law?

Probably the same thing that happened in Little Rock, Arkansas and in Alabama during the 50s and 60s during the forced school integration dust-up. Federal troops and US Marshals will descend up the place en masse.

Ok, let's take this hypothetical event a little further - what would happen if thousands of armed citizens showed up in Tennessee to support the state and oppose the feds?

For that to work it took lots of brainwashing and graphic TV imagery, with clear victims and villains, to gain public support for the feds coming in. So, until we see some kind of horrors in Tennessee, the victims and the villains, nothing like 50s & 60s federal intervention will take place. That's basically their SOP for that kind of intervention.

Even for the comparatively tiny assault on Davidians in Waco, it was preceded in the weeks ahead by a flood of horrific child abuse rumors peddled by local media. At that time, several days before the attack, I was discussing in a Compuserve newsmedia Forum the media propaganda techniques and happen to use anti-Koresh articles from AP as an excellent illustration and transparent example of their techniques, suggesting that something bad will happen to these guys soon. Several days later the assault took place and I was treated like a prophet in that group from there on.

“Federal troops and US Marshals will descend up the place en masse.”

Yes, I think you are correct. I’ve thought for awhile that Obama has been looking for a fight, and I think this is the one he might take up.
