MODERATORS
Even if less-lethal ammunition were risk free, that should still be a crime. Even in the ideal risk-free case, how is this any different from assault, if the cop came up behind a reporter swinging his baton. There was clearly no justifiable reason, it was clearly assault for fun or intimidation, and any reasonable person would know that.
It is a crime. Cops are effectively above the law.
There are some laws that even cops can't ignore, such as the law of gravity when a brick is in the air.
I'd say Newton's 1st is more applicable here
