Too bad they teach cops that citizens don't really have constitutional rights.

They have a right to protest, and as long as she kept walking there would be no problem. When they stop, and start interfering with the rights of others (ie: the right to walk down a sidewalk) then they have violated the law and will be arrested.
Make no mistake about it, she knew she would be arrested, and wanted to be arrested. Anyone that does not realize this does not know jack about how to get press.
The White House has people walking in front of it protesting one thing or another probably every day of the week, but no one pays attention or cares . . . until someone goes to jail.
