This is nothing more than a modernized 1960s sit in. IF they ever resort to violence then we can explore whether this is an at of terror.
Yet, defending yourself when someone is trying to arrest you may also not be terrorism.
Labeling these acts as terrorism tells me one of 2 things:
Those doing so do not truly understand what terrorism is.
Those doing so are trying to broaden the definition to make acts of terrorism seem more common.
Folks can split hairs all they want; but this is not terrorism. Nor was Baltimore, Ferguson, South Carolina, ect...
I would say that according to the USC definition of domestic terrorism, they qualify as such. The threat of violence they present is a danger and it is intended to intimidate/coerce the government.
