Since when is an officer arresting you for illegal actions an attack?

Ryan Bundy (I can't keep track of which one is which, so I think that is the right one) has been deemed the spokesperson for the group and he has said that "if they force the issue...lives could be lost." Quite frankly, even "not ruling out violence" when faced with being arrested for breaking the law, is a threat of violence. Bringing weapons like they did to a protest of this type is in and of itself a threat of violence. And a threat of violence is a danger to human life, this is why a person can be charged with assault based on a threat.
