I only call law enforcement after the fact... Even then it is only to justify the event to the insurance company...

Just proves the old adage:

Never bring a gun to a water balloon fight.

You are correct. Under the common law, an assault is placing someone in apprehension of an offensive contact. The offensive touching itself, is a battery.

Thus, a person who raises his hand and strikes a person, can commit both an assault and battery (provided that the person who was struck was placed in apprehension of the contact.)

Throwing a water balloon can be both an assault (if the victim was placed in apprehension of being struck) and battery (if the contact actually occurred.)

Many people on the internet don't like to apply rules like this. They would rather change the rules depending on the victim/offender status.

It was a clean shoot. The officer felt threatened, sorry girls.

Probably... after all, he had no ill intent. Good thing that he was not shot on the spot - Maryland troopers and all...
