When a cop helps a photographer who's getting harassed, everyone says how wonderful it is, and it is a good thing, but that's exactly the point.

When a photographer is harassed by a cop, any mention of it provokes a flamewar between the three general factions— the people who think that action ought to be taken to prevent it from happening again and that the photographer should file a complaint or lawsuit and not take it lying down, the people who think it was all the photographer's fault and he should stop invoking constitutional rights and thinking independent thoughts and not do things that might bruise the officer's massive ego, and the people who believe that harassment of photographers is a necessary and/or good thing and that the photographer should put his camera into storage until the government decides it's permissible for subjects to take pictures again and be glad he wasn't locked up like the evil Enemy Of The State he is.

Oh, great. I just spoke the truth to SubChatters. You know at least three of them are going to be offended and turn this into a massive flamewar. Well, at least it might hit 10 pages now! :D
