Yes the reporter was doing his job, and yes there were other people around. A judge wont give a shit about that. Whats important is that while the police MAY have had every right and repsonsibility to control the situation, they arent superman and they cant just order people "I'm giving you an order!" and expect compliance. This is America, perhaps he was confused that people have rights and he has procedures to follow so as not to be thrown under the bus by his bad actions.
It was a procedural mistake IMHO. Pretty simple one really I think. But the police made it seem like he was just PERSONALLY pissed at the reporter and roughed him up and tried to order him around. He should apply for active duty, not public service.
