Were they filming outside military buildings, recruiting stations, base entries, etc?

Googling "First Amendment Audits" they appear to be groups who videotape in areas to intentionally provoke confrontations with law enforcement (military and government)

First Amendment Audit becomes very verbally aggressive and confrontational, taping the confrontation and posting it to Youtube.

So the citizens confronted by armed military may have been filming near a military installation,
and may have become angry, aggressive, confrontational when asked why they were doing it.

Even 'free speech' has it's limitations.
