Why are political figures held to a higher standard than those they are elected to represent?

If anyone comes up to you on the street with a camera, and you grab them and grab the camera.... that's assault and YOU yourself could go to jail for it.

In this case apparently, our political figures are actually given more rights and higher protection than the people they are hired to represent.... which is wrong. We don't have a politburo in this country.... everyone, even a politician, is supposed to be held to the same legal standard. If I were those kids I would sue his ass.

...and asking someone a question on the street is NOT considered legal provocation for assault, BTW....
