The Turkish thugs are Embassy employees and have varying degrees of diplomatic immunity. Wanna bet that Erdogan and his pals will claim diplomatic immunity for all of them? After all, protection of the Embassy grounds is part of their official duties. And in my experience (and I have a little), the State Department won't argue otherwise; their default position is to accommodate the foreign Embassy, and Tillerson won't change it.
Blasting people with diplomatic immunity is in fact "dicey" and doing it on the Embassy lawn, which is legally Turkish territory, is an act of war. In fact, I was surprised to see the DC police on the lawn at all.
If you want me to dump on the DCMPD, I can do it for hours, but besides all their other problems, they have to deal with this diplomatic immunity crap all the time, too.
