Hard to prove.  She doesn't wear her official pin,
apparently, so she's almost inviting it.  On the
other hand, you wonder whether the same thing would
happen with a white congresswoman (or man, for that
matter).  Somehow I have the sense the police would
have a lot less trouble recognizing the person, with
or without a pin.

I think she is threatening a lawsuit against the
officer who grabbed her, however.
