Finally, this entire story "WREAKS" of only "one-side" of the story. EVERYONE let their tempers get out of hand and BOTH should be disciplined accordingly.

Granted, we are hearing only one side of the story here. Leaving aside the so-called "assault", (where the CSR can do his best to imitate an NBA player calling attention to a foul...but, no-ref = no-foul )
So we are left with a CSR attempting to override Captain's authority, and hiding behind local law enforcement to act punitively if the Captain didn't comply?
In the old days, this would never happen, and if it did, the AGENT would be the one doing the "walk-of-shame" in handcuffs!!!! This is what we get for allowing people who really aren't in charge a little authority, so they can feel better about their crappy position in life!
I truly hope EVERY UAL/CAL pilot becomes aware of this story, and brings the place to a crawl..."Fly the book" in DEN and get the company's attention! Make it their problem, and this dispute will be resolved quickly!!!!
