Why? I did not see the video, but when I went to school, We were taught that everyone, including the President was to follow the Constitution. If the occupier [by the people’s demand] of the White House does not follow the Constitution, why should the peasantry have to follow the Constitution?

Seems to me everyone is missing the point here. It is not about abiding by the Constitution, it's much more consequential than that.

It is the State abrogating itself.

Consider that the State is only in existence as a consequence of the powers contractually delegated to it by the People via the Constitution. When the State power no longer abides by that contract, there is no longer legitimate government.

Just my $.02 for thought.

If someone in power starts randomly shooting people in the street, you would be for cops doing the same?

Reminds me of when we were kids and parents asked us if we would jump off a bridge if one of our friends did it.
