Mostly because LAPD doesn't have Hellfires. (And if they did, you couldn't pay me enough to drive a pickup in the LA basin right now.)

I just added the hellfire bit for fun.
Can't tell what's real and what's humorous anymore
Google the Reichstag Fire Decree and Enabling Act of 1933...
The Big Tent is made of tinfoil?
No real justification was required to arrest people other than someone deemed them a possible threat to the state. The socialists and communists were subsequently swept from the Reichstag, leaving an NSDAP majority. Not implying this is what's going to happen, just commenting that such ambiguous legal language is nothing new.
Right. But this issue is about Americans who have joined enemy forces overseas and are outside the reach of law enforcement and the criminal justice system which remains intact for Americans fighting for the enemy here in the States. Sending LEOs or commandos into Yemen to put handcuffs on these citizen enemies is needless reckless and disrespectful of the lives of said LEOs or commandos. So, whack 'em.
