You claim that Kerry cannot be deemed "innocent" because he didn't instruct the officers to let the disruptive questioner ask his question.
Actually, more that once Kerry says "Let me answer his question." He tries to defuse the situation with humor. He calls the question "very important." He does everything that could be reasonably expected to keep it from escalating. He even goes beyond reasonableness, in my opinion. Not that this gives me any respect for Kerry. I am just pointing out the gross incorrectness of your assertion.
So, your objection has no basis whatsoever in fact. Like the objections of many of the posters here.
Underpaid, undertrained security officers, probably at least a little frightened, certainly amped up on adrenaline, and they over-reacted to someone trying to create an incident.
So we should add to the over-reaction? Yeah, that's the best plan.
