Would armed protesters be considered "civilians" in this country?

In Libya the protesters, after not getting there way, which is understandable, they armed themselves and tried a new tactic. Would president Obama step down if 1/5th of the population protested and marched on Washington? And if after not getting their way decided to arm and fight would they still be considered civilians and would Obama order military strikes on them?

    If 1/5 of America protested against Obama all the news would do is show white people so they could claim everyone was racist to cover for the brother in charge.

    Ive grown accustomed to being called a racist because im white and don't agree with every last thing Obama does or says. Kind of wear it like a badge of honor and joke with all my non-white friends that im a racist because I don't agree with Obama, they get a kick out of it cause they know its BS.

    Libya got the idea from Egypt, whose leader was surprisingly a big enough man to step down when he saw he wasn't wanted, quelling further loss of human life. Qaddafi, by comparison, is just a lowlife who will hold onto his power until his last breath, no matter how many lives it costs.

    If entire sections of the american military defected and formed an armed rebellion, yes.

    If the US ambassador to the UN defected and said Obama was committing genocide, yes.

    It depends if they're only armed because their own army/police are shooting live rounds at them for simply protesting

    No, but Libyans haven't really had a change of leadership for 40+ years.
