Would he shove a guy he knows is a reporter or would he allow someone with fake papers to walk away?

Was it clear to the officer that he was a reporter, or was the reporter a conservative under cover pretending to be an agitator?

That's what I meant, if Sgt. Burton thought he was a real reporter I don't see the Sarge shoving him...

and if Sgt. Burton thought he was using fake papers he should have arrested him!

I think the reporter is fudging the truth!!

Or the Sgt. was on triple overtime and maybe didn't put 2 and 2 together!!

In which case a shove and no arrest isn't the worst sin!!

When I was a kid in Brooklyn the Cops would say "I'll give you a break this time" and give you a hop in the ass and spill out the beer!! We didn't mind!!
