three counts of assaulting a police officer.
Must have missed it in the video
Sometimes I watch those american police bodycam videos, and somehow in the end the charges often include "assaulting police officers". Since I've never seen it happen in the videos I always wonder if they just add it to the charge list like sprinkles, because charges stack up (meaning more jail time) and also what is the perpetrator going to do about it?
Assault in the legal vernacular basically amounts to any bodily threat or unwanted physical contact. If you pushed their shoulder out of the way that can count as assault. So if the officer wants it throw the book at you, it's not difficult for them to stack shit.
This is precisely why I believe there is literally no justice in America. Any judicial ruling ever made, is worth so much toilet paper. When they can just say whatever they want and charge you with whatever they want, it is impossible to get justice. The entire system is rotten and worthy of contempt.
Genuinely no one did anything right in their attempt to remove him from the room. That's actually impressive. We know just punishments will not be meted out without the action of the people.
Audience member calls Senator a coward and the Senator calls him "Punk". Wtf lmao.
Wow i didn't know they had such high definition cameras in 1940 nazi Germany, they really were ahead of their time. /s
I believe this is called "supporting the troops."
That is insane. How many people have to be forcibly dragged out of a government chamber before they reconsider what they are doing?
Exactly. Soon they'll start closing and locking the doors to their meetings, and we'll find out what's going on when the authorities are busting in your front door.
They'll figure it out instantly, if you drag out the right ones.
Traitors.
He was wearing a medal. Anyone know which one it is?
Might have a registered story attached to it?
May they all (except McGinnis, of course) get a visit from Negan and Lucille.
Bummer how this isn't shocking at all.
Wasn't that long ago we saw a US Senator get beat up by ICE on live tv. A simple GI getting his arm broken is just another Wednesday. And kudos to that pussy-ass senator for attacking a guy getting mobbed by donut eaters.
Also, vote Green. Both Dems and Republicans support this shitty war, as usual.
