I’m not contracticting myself. 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.” So while she was right to forcefully go for the mike at first, if the reporter didn’t give in, she probably didn’t know what she should do, and the SS is probably supposed to step in if bodily force is called for.

And politically if the SS take down a CNN reporter, no one will talk of anything else for 23 weeks. The President has a Stasi, etc.

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.
