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.
