    My take: The press are granted access that would be difficult or impossible for the average person to achieve, in exchange for their agreement to abide by certain rules of behavior and decorum. The photog in this case chose to breach those rules, and became combative when the Secret Service agent tried to make him comply. The Secret Service agent probably could have been more diplomatic, and failed to de-escalate the situation, probably due to ego.

    Generally, it is bad practice to argue with the guy with the gun and the badge, even if he's wrong.
    Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Comes down to Fightin' Words.

    Growing up outside Houston, TX, we had a great migration from the North during the 70's and early 80's.
    I remember my Dad explaining to me the difference in what Yankees considered fightin' words vs. what we grew up with.
    A lot of Yankees got popped in the mouth and did not understand why back then.

    Hey man, not cool! NY bagel shops don't deserve to be slandered like that!! Nowhere else does such a tasty snack taste as good. Back off
