Not really. They are sworn in law enforcement. No difference from police officers. If she wasn't swearing, then none of this would even happen, and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

How can it be vague if she was being handcuffed in the parking lot, becuase she wouldn't calm down? If I was the fire marshal, I wouldn't take any chances, especially with someone who could be "potentionally" physco.

What the hell of a slope are you harping on? There is no slope, becuase she was committing by either disturbing others by loud and unreasonable noise (including loud music or dog barking), or using offensive words likely to incite violence.

Seems to be clear cut to me.

That's not my point. Should you concede to a public official - say fire marshall - when politically protesting?

You continue to miss the point. It's more than this instance. It's about future instances. It's about the law and how vague it is. And how there isn't a law that gives people the right NOT to be offended.

I see now. I'm talking about the big picture. You are still stuck on this one case.
