What was the cause? They were taking pictures too disruptively?

I can't believe I've been forced to defend CNN...

I can't believe I'm agreeing with your defense of CNN. We really are living in Bizarro World right now. Some people in the US have gone way too far down the authoritarian path.

So what? Unlawful orders are unlawful. The reporter and camera operator were not obstructing anything. They were in a position to observe, which is what the public wants them to do. Police will disagree, but police have lied so much that no one believes them anymore.

Why is it assumed the order is unlawful?

I didn't assume anything. I told you why it was unlawful, in the comment directly above.
