"... it was the protesters who pulled out their cameras to record an armed government official attacking a veteran member of the press with White House press credentials, which ironically, are only handed out after the Secret Service conducts a full background check."

Why is a Secret Service agent putting a secured and vetted journalist in a choke hold, when agent was placed with journalists to observe ?
Choke holds were banned and prohibited, and yet, that is the first action the Secret Service agent took, after a journalist tried to record protesters being forced to leave Trump's rally.

New footage has surfaced from Monday’s incident of a U.S. Secret Service agent grasping a TIME photojournalist by the neck and slamming him down to the ground during a Donald Trump rally in Virginia
Morris then stood up complaining about being grabbed by the neck, grabbing his own neck to demonstrate, then grabbing the agent’s neck to further demonstrate.
That demonstration led to both Sean Hannity and Breitbart to twist the story to say the photojournalist first grabbed the agent by the neck, which is what led to the agent body slamming him.
When confronted with evidence to the contrary, Breitbart updated its report to say the new videos show “the reporter intentionally bumping up against the agent and saying ‘f*ck you’ before the agent throws him to the ground.”
Morris (the photojournalist) did nothing to provoke the attack until he was grabbed from behind. And he did not intentionally bump into the agent because he was too busy trying to photograph a large group of Black Lives Matter protesters who had interrupted the rally by chanting and holding up their fists. He was essentially trying to do his job.
The false reports from Hannity and Breitbart led to hordes of commenters expressing ejaculatory adoration for the Secret Service agent, congratulation him on handling business in a professional and efficient manner by keeping the liberal media in line.
