And I get that you disagree about the status of a journalist matters, but it really it is legally immaterial. Random dude smacked on head = journalist smacked on head. I get that from a subjective moral point of view because you value the press, you see it as: random dude smacked on head < journalist smacked on head.
You're right but with a little more emphasis on the smacker than the smackee. Police have special powers when it comes to smacking, and I think that special scrutiny should go along with those special powers when there is the suggestion that they have been abused.
Meh, it's okay. Thanks.
