How many months away are we from that here in the States, do you think? My bet is on ~12, but the timetable is already faster than I expected, so I might be a bit optimistic with that number.

Zero. The particular specific circumstance in your example hasn’t happened yet (as far as we know…), but protesters are already getting, arrested, charged for RICO and/or terrorism, deported, etc. for nothing but their peaceful political speech.

Arrests for a meta-protest could happen tomorrow; it’s all down to the random chance of some jackbooted thug’s mood.
