Care to tell me what the cause of action would be?

Oh, perhaps, false arrest? Infliction of emotional damage?

Infliction of emotional distress has to be one-sided and intentional. This is more a ‘mutual combat’ situation. As far as false arrest goes, review the tape. The reporter is claiming there is no such charge as “abusing 911”. Even if you accept that as true, and it’s pretty far fetched since almost every state has a similar charge, there were two charges filed, and the officer clearly had justification for a good faith belief that she was causing a disturbance in the station. That negates the false arrest claim.
