Another reason for the move was that "our neighbors were being disturbed and threatened," Krewson said, adding, "I ran for this job - my neighbors did not."

As the officers enter her home, she says "You can show me your search warrant before you go through my house."

The officers let her know that she is under arrest "in relation to incitement."

"What on Earth? Excuse me, what on Earth?" Buhler asks, shocked, saying that she has "an ultrasound in an hour."

The officers explain, as they handcuff her and read her rights to her, that she's being arrested for incitement over a Facebook post about a protest to end the lockdown.

"And I wasn't breaking any laws by doing that," Buhler says.

"You are actually," the arresting officer says, "And that's why I'm arresting you."

The man of the house suggests that the officers should just ask her to take the post down, and Buhler says that she would be "happy to delete the post," adding that the situation was "ridiculous."

He goes on to suggest that she can also not do the event, since it hasn't even happened as yet. But the officer instead continues the arrest, stating "we believe you are committed to it."

The officers go on to state their intention to seize all computers and mobile devices in the home as Buhler breaks down in tears.

"Any device in this house, we're taking," the officers say.

The event was called Freedom Day Ballarat, and was to be held on Saturday at 11 am in Ballarat, Victoria. The post stated that the protest was intended to be peaceful, to follow all social distancing measures "so we don't get arrested."

"September 5 is FREEDOM DAY!" It read. "As some of you may have seen the government has gone to extreme measures and are using scare tactics through the media to prevent the Melbourne protest.

"Here is Ballarat we can be a voice for those in stage 4 lockdowns. We can be seen and heard and hopefully make a difference!"

It calls for an end to the lockdowns, and to stand for human rights, noting that Australia is a "'FREE' COUNTRY!"

A Facebook search reveals that it has since been removed.

This was classified as a call to incitement, and police, who many have said are guilty of drastically overreaching their power, entered a woman's home and arrested her for a social media post wherein she wished to assert her freedom in a free country.

The Victoria Police gave a statement that said they were aware of the gathering, and that "Any gathering of this nature is in blatant breach of the Chief Health Officer's directions and puts Victorian lives at risk."

Yahoo! News reported that the officers intend to arrest the others involved in organizing the protest, which is in violation of directives from the Chief Health Officer.

In a message likely to further stir up public outrage, Victoria police insisted officers, who put an expecting mother in restraints over an anti-lockdown post, acted "reasonably" - although she described it in chilling terms.

Victoria state police responded to the mounting outrage on Thursday, with Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius confirming he has seen the viral footage. According to him, the police team "have conducted themselves entirely reasonably, they've been polite, professional."

"We're absolutely satisfied the members behaved appropriately and in accordance with our policy," Cornelius stated, referring to "briefings provided to me."

He admitted, however, that the optics weren't so great. "I would be the first to acknowledge the optics, for want of a better description, arresting a pregnant female, it's never going to look good," he said.

Meanwhile, Buhler herself - who officially faced "incitement" charges later on Wednesday - recalled the experience. "Honestly, I was scared I was being kidnapped by people because they weren't in uniforms," she told reporters.

Expanding on her Facebook message, Buhler said she didn't realize calling for the anti-quarantine gathering was an offense, adding she was ready to cooperate with police. "If the police had just called me and told me to remove the post I would've done so," she said.

US President Donald Trump has slammed DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's proposal to demolish monuments to several historical figures allegedly guilty of racism. Among them are several presidents, including the famous Washington monument, as well as the navigator credited as leading the first major European expedition to the Americas, Christopher Columbus.

Trump's position on this issue was announced in a statement published on the White House website.

"By publishing a plan that recommends the potential demolition of the Washington Monument, the Christopher Columbus Statue, Andrew Jackson and the Jefferson Memorial, Washington's radically liberal mayor is repeating the same story used by the left to incite dangerous riots: the destruction of our history and the destruction of our great heritage," Trump said in the statement.

Trump believes that these monuments need to be preserved and respected, because they are installed in honor of the people who built the country.

Earlier, on August 31, a special committee at the mayor's office of the American capital renamed, removed or contextualized 1,330 objects allegedly related to racism.

Recall that the fight against the monuments to the founding fathers of the United States is part of the campaign against racism, held under the slogan "Black Lives Matter". This movement arose in May after the death of an African American, George Floyd, at the hands of police officers .

The movement to destroy statues and monuments has also been criticized by the left, chiefly for being a middle-class 'feel good' distraction which costs nothing to those in power, and does nothing to address the real-existing socioeconomic needs of people on the whole.
