This intern was trying to do her job (much more severe than your social outing) and she was tasked with stopping Acosta from continuing to filibuster. She reached for the mic twice and he refused to surrender it, so she grabbed the mic and he brushed away her arm. She felt she had to remove him from the mic.
She was only expected to try and get the mic. She was not expected to initiate physical contact. She could have fulfilled her obligation by just continuing to ask for or reach for the mic.
What if she had shot Acosta. Would you argue that she was "forced" to go that far?
