    Dumb question: could it have been one of the counter protestors or even someone who wasn’t even there that called them in?

    Could someone have just claimed to have the authority to call them in.

        That’s definitely one path to go down, another way I would try to figure it out would be to subpoena all the officers who were there that day and make them tell you who gave them their orders, which will probably lead you to some field commander or another mid level person who was given orders who could be subpoenad and asked the same question, and so on
