Can I get into legal trouble by burning a cross in front of the police station/ FBI or CIA buildings? (lemm.ee)

I want to do this because they have pissed me off and this is my best bet, but I don’t want to get in trouble for trespassing. If I did this, would the problem be trespassing or something else?

What if I were to burn the cross in a different (but still visible) location? Like on public property or alongside rode? What would I be looking at once I got caught (as I know I’ll be caught).

The best action is collective, work with your local community - maybe identify something that would really piss off the police but help the local community - you can't be arrested for helping fund a local Black Lives Matter group, or helping run a campaign to displace the local sheriff in an election, for helping getting better resources for public defenders or local probono lawyers who do criminal defense, and so on - get creative and local, and work with others to make a bigger impact. Try to keep it positive, to improve the situation for yourself and others.
