If there is one group of people who are constitutionally (heh) ill-equipped to monitor free citizens who are exercising their constitutional rights to petition their government for redress of grievances, it's people whose entire job history has been the exercise of power over incarcerated federal offenders, who do not have the right to peaceably assemble.

Doubly so when they're prison riot control officers who all look like they're clones of Byron Hadley, The Screw Everyone Hates from "Shawshank Redemption".

When a prison guard sees a crowd chanting protests, they are going to react very badly.

Get them out.

And get badges on the rest of them. Then get them out, too.

Well, I doubt they have better options avail. I doubt active soldiers trained to kill as fast as possible would be any better. Let's be honest, they cannot let major buildings and institutions in DC get overrun...

The use of force guidelines in prison vs use of force guidelines for free civilians are totally different. These BoP guards might treat a situation a certain way and not even know they're violating someone's civil rights while doing it.

Oh, I know. They'll break your bones and suffer no consequences because "he resisted." On the other hand: the White House perimeter is gone...100's of angry people are running towards it. What does the government do?
