The senior Park Police officer on the scene was mistaken in his real-time application of on-the-fence protocol. Within a few minutes, the mistake was brought to his attention, and a cell phone call to his superiors clarified the matter and resolved the situation. You call this "thuggery"??? No soup for you either.

you can honestly say that with a straight face and believe everything the press is telling you? seriously? If so, you need to lay off more than soup..

Only in your head is the bolded portion true. Apparently the truth got deflected off the plastic bubble that surrounds you. See posts above.

Better get used to it. As soon as they repeal the 2nd amendment then they go after the 1st amendment.

True. I would truly hope when they try and take our 2nd amendment away people would finally wake up and take back this country.

As you apparently don't recall, the press were the PRINCIPALS in this event. As in it was they who were (mistakenly) kept behind a police perimeter as that was set up around an incident on the fence. These reports are not from clods like Ben Smith who were off sitting behind their desks. These reports are from the people who were directly involved in the indicent and its resolution. I will freely admit to taking their eye-witness word for the actual sequence of events over the blind imaginations of a bunch of integrity-free right-wingers. Got a problem with that?

So Ben Smith is a clod? Who is your hero then? This should be enlightening...

Hitler and Stalin treated the press like this so what's the big deal?

Damage Control Deputy Saganista.....how much are they paying you? You're doing a lousy job. I believe the missteps of this Administration are far more than you can handle. Can we get a resignation?
