You're a police officer in the USA, covering a speech by the state governor in a school gym.

As the speech starts (late) a reporter is talking to a camera at the back of a gym. You ask them to stop.

Grateful to Yale for doing a good thing here.
As for the person who called cops on a 9 year old girl instead of, ya know, asking her a single simple question: Do Better.
“I don’t know what the hell she’s doing. Scares me, though.”
