Feel free to look up some legal definitions sometime, guys. There's whole law libraries sitting online for the purpose of reference. It's not a question of damage, it's the action itself.And no, CNN reporters do not constitute hostile entities. If you think otherwise, well, I hope you never need your rights in the face of law enforcement. The guy was obeying orders even without being shoved; he was stating that he would not resist and that he would comply. That's not precisely hostile or uncooperative, despite whatever your definition of hostility is.

Yes, that's the part they turned on the cameras for. By his own admission (in the exact same video) he said he's been standing there all day, so this encounter dragged on for at least several uncooperative hours before he was gently led back, and decided to hop on the cross over it.
