Retired U.S. Army Captain Anna King alleges three National Guard troops violently detained her at her D.C. home after she displayed protest signs, a confrontation that went viral. Her lawyers say there was no legal basis for the front-gate entry and detention, and she has filed a claim against the Defense Department and the Idaho National Guard for assault and improper conduct, while authorities say she had previously thrown an unknown liquid at troops.
