Show of force would be for threatening to assault federal officers in the lawful performance of their duties. Use of force would be for actually doing it.
But note that the BLM has declined to have this confrontation "for refusing to pay grazing fees." Which is pretty like the sheriff in your town refusing to evict a guy for refusing to pay rent, because he's got lots of armed gang members hanging around to protect him. But somehow I doubt that Hannity would find their 'armed rebellion' and 'fighting for our rights' rhetoric nearly so laudable.
