I saw what I saw,expressed my opinion,and don’t give a rat’s ass about what people Tweet.

There are people here who hate Trump——so what?

Did you ever read about some of the disagreements on cop shooting threads? Many different viewpoints.

Lighten up.

Your post is the BEST ANALYSIS of Acosta’s behavior.

What Acosta did was refuse to hand over the mike to the young female intern by using his physical strength. There in he committed two crimes..(1) Ignoring protocol at White House News events (2) Physically pushing the Intern away who was simply trying to retrieve the mike.

So, not a physical assault enough to file a police report, but extremely rude and boorish behavior by a White House reporter. He must be banned for life from such events.

As I said, I don’t think that he hit her intentionally.

However, he DID hit her, even if not too hard. Since she is a federal employee, he is technically guilty (after proper adjudication, of course) of assaulting a federal employee. He should be thankful that he was only banned from the WH pressers.

Also, as I said, I cannot stand Acosta. He soundly deserved to get his credentials removed even without this incident - he CONSTANTLY interrupts the President, which until Trump won the office was strictly verboten. As the President said many times yesterday, “ENOUGH!”

He hit her hard enough to swing her shoulders. Watch again.

In all the video clips CNN has shown (Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer) they 'conveniently stop short wherein the female WH Intern approaches Acosta and he refuses to reliquish the mike and subsequently where he pushes down her left elbow with his left hand.

Acosta repeatedly states he did not know who that woman was or why she was there.

Yet the press conference does show where she passes the mike to whomever the President had called upon. She passed the mike to Acosta and then after the aforementioned Acosta incident..passed it to another reported that Trump recognized.

Her shoulder was pushed down about 6 inches - not a ‘bump’

She attempted to grab the mike with her right hand from Acosta’s right hand. She attempted for 1-2 seconds, then reached with her left arm. Her arm was extended and Acosta pushed down on her left elbow, forcing the elbow down 5/6 inches. Call it either a push, a shove or a ‘girly’ karate chop..

I do not think her job description entails (like an SS agent’s might) “Take them DOWN if they don’t do what you ask.”

I didn't say anything about her "taking down" Acosta and I guarantee you that it is not the job of SS to intervene there between a reporter and an intern.

“So, not a physical assault enough to file a police report”

...but definitely enough for that young lady’s boy friend, father, brother, uncle, etc. to seek out Acosta and beat the crap out of him.

If you do that kind of move on a police officer, or even less than that, you get charged with assault.
