At the risk of being called a bootlicker, they weren’t just saying stuff and clapping, they were interrupting official meetings and asked to be dragged out.
Is this an abuse of power? Probably. How many people have been asked to leave or arrested for supporting the commissioners agenda? If this guy was disruptive (he did refuse to leave), did that deserve arrest? I don’t think so

Have you tried ostracizing your allies? What about threatening to invade them? Destabilizing the world order by kidnapping and assassinating world leaders? Maybe tariffs for everyone?
