It was military that grabbed him. Not a republican governor. The military is under the POTUS.
I suggest that we have a Posse Comitatus violation if the military is arresting journalists in a state of the Union and not on federal land or in a wholly owned federal building.
In the United States, a federal statute known as the Posse Comitatus Act, enacted in 1878, forbade the use of the US Army, and through it, its offspring, the US Air Force, as a posse comitatus or for law enforcement purposes without the approval of Congress.[17] While the act does not explicitly mention the US Navy and the US Marine Corps, the US Department of the Navy has prescribed regulations that are generally construed to give the act force with respect to these branches as well.[18] A directive in 2013 from the US Secretary of Defense directly addressed this issue and prohibited the use of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps for domestic law enforcement.[19] The limitation does not apply to the National Guard of the United States when activated by a state's governor and operating in accordance with Title 32 of the US Code, such as deployments by state governors in response to Hurricane Katrina.[20]

I read that it was the National Guard.
What actually happened? Was he being an ass during a meeting? He said there were other reporters there.
