In US law, if the camera is doing something unconstitutional, is damaging it a crime? Genuine question.

Almost certainly. Random people are not the legal arbiters of what’s unconstitutional.
I can’t say I disagree with what they’re doing, but it’s absolutely vigilante justice, not legal.
It seems odd though. Don't you have the right to bear arms, with some idea that it is needed to prevent the government from exercising excessive powers over you, yet actually doing anything with those guns to protect yourself from tyranny is a crime?
I remember hearing once that the constitution, having been written by a bunch of insurrectionists, intended people to have the power to keep the government out of their business. It seems they have lost that?

Because when it comes to that, the government is a failed state and no one will be worried about what’s legal.
It’s not meant to be a means of legal recourse, it’s a last resort.
