When it comes right down to it, that is exactly what this video shows.

Now wait one minute here. The camera crew and reporter were in a public place, seeking information about the abuse of government resources by this public officiam for purposes of partisan politics – a matter of public concern directly related to her performance of her job. Now she has every right to offer a “no comment” or refuse to answer the questions (probably a good idea while she is under investigation), but for her to attempt to use the police in the manner she did is inconsistent with the First Amendment – something she is sworn to uphold (though her actions in regars to Joe the Plumber show her to already be foresworn). And for the police to attempt to get journalists engaged in lawful activity in a public place to cease their news-gathering activities at the behest of a public official is reminiscent of your run-of-the-mill police state or banana republic, not the worlds greatest democracy and the beacon of liberty for people around the world.
