1. They didn't ask once, they grabbed him
2. Its public property!
As I've suggested before: If this sort of thing happened in Iran, the US government and media would have a field-day smearing Iran.

Also, as stated before, the distinction between public and private is an illusion. Free speech standards are generally applicable, and Meyer was doing nothing to incite a riot, nor did he know at the time he did anything wrong.
