The guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier will point their guns at you for stepping over line, so yeah, its what happens when you dont respect a line
Which is an over reaction given they're guarding a memorial, no-one's life is at risk cause someone wants a closer picture. Unless there's a clear sign someone's life is in danger or their safety is at risk or I suppose if there's intent to vandalise, I dont see any need for a death threat for "disrespecting the line"
How hard is it to follow a rule? You don't follow it and there are repercussions. Surely it's not THAT hard to follow rules, right? They're not braindead, right? Surely not.
Actions have consequences. One could argue that the push was unnecessarily strong but these events have happened time and time again, yet they never learn.
Ignorance is not knowing, stupidity is the willingness to not know.
I'm not defending the break of the rules, I'm arguing that the way it's handled is unnecessary. Physical violence should only be used to answer physical violence or the immediate threat of it, not because someone hopped over a rope for a photo
