What would happen if someone were to detain a group of marines (with the minimal force necessary), in the wrong assumption - honest mistake - that they were about to execute illegal orders?

Never read one completely nor watched a full movie, but it always felt cheap and written from the unenlightened perspective of a simple mind to me.
The fantasy books of my generation, such as The Neverending Story, Momo, The Hobbit, Jim Knopf were a whole different level. Life experience and a touch of wisdom in a great story for children.
But I also think that it might be just my perspective, since my mind has been imprinted like that. I'm not judging anyone for being a Harry Potter fan and try to think of it as different, not worse.
That is a weird understanding of the law. As any elementary school kid (outside the US) knows: Doesn't matter if the suspect stole a chewing gum or killed someone - they need to be stopped and arrested with the least harm possible.
Punishment is done by the courts. Not a police job.
I'm no expert, but I would think that the best way for this to work is to go all-in with the first strike. Every following strike will be SO much harder to succeed.
Could be a "phase 2" like: Expecting all parked trucks and sheds in a 10 km radius of any military airbase to be inspected, so make traps. (Or any other phase 2 that takes advantage of the reaction.)
LA is also a good opportunity to say: This and this and this high ranking officer failed and will be replaced (by a loyalist).
It's what makes Walter White a weak person. Even when his family needed him, he cowered when he had to face his ego, false pride and other vices.
Knowing that you COULD become this badass, but choosing not to, for his family, while nobody else would ever believe that he could have, that'd be the mark of a hero.
The far right doesn't even need to win directly. Even within conservative parties, such as Germany's CDU, the populists make it to the top. They have good people with real solutions up to a state level, maybe more than any other party, but the new chancellor and most of the ministers from his own party are populists.
Conservatives with a real vision and plan might soon suffer the same fate as McCain and Romney.
This has a whole chain of consequences. Problems are not solved and increase, the far right gains.
Also, the current government coalition of the two formerly major parties didn't even get half of the votes, resulting in less acceptance of the democratic process and legitimacy of the government. Not a big difference to the electoral college problem in the USA.

Or 50 and 29 - eww
Interesting! Do you think you would have gotten out with filter bubbles and Echo Chambers as they are these days?
Hm. Maybe try putting the water away from the food. Some cats don't like it near the food. (Presumably related to clean water sources in nature vs. dead prey.)
My last cat only ever drank from the running tab. Jumped into the bathtub and meowed until someone turned it on, day or night.
