If you were near the Capitol, you were likely dealing with Capitol Hill police. I worked there for seven years and can vouch first-hand, as an extremely anti-cop person, that they were almost always good, helpful, non-power-trippy people. They were on-guard at all times as their only job was guarding the Capitol, so they were used to dealing with all sorts.
They know it is not fake, they say things like that as a mnemonic aid. Like a Homeric epithet. He’s reminding his pals that they all hate the news as he attacks a press person.
