Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson Hit in Face with Pie at Event, Assaults Protester in 'Bloody' Scene
After this, the protester reportedly said something to Johnson. This prompted the mayor to allegedly tackle the protester and punch him in the face "repeatedly," more than half a dozen times, landing "five to 10" blows.
One witness described it as a "bloody pulp." Other witnesses say that the pie-thrower was hit multiple times in the face and will definitely need stitches, and that there was visible blood.

Don’t know anyone’s politics in this case, but if someone’s form of “protest” is throwing a pie in the face, the very least that person should expect back is a punch in their own face, if not much worse, like a bullet.
“if” lol
So, who gets the assist?
A friend was a former basketball player, drafted into the old ABA.
Even as an OLD guy he was tough as a piece of baling wire.
So does he at least get 1 Technical shot?
Big deal.
He assaulted and battered a person. A battery is any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another. In CAlifornia, a battery is punishable by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
I’m sure you noticed the “or.” I sincerely doubt the prosecutor will push for a jail term for a sitting mayor of the state capital. But he’s got some “dime” to pay to the state and unless he also wants court costs and attorney fees, a settlement with the victim.

I agree, zero video footage is a very interesting part of this.
What happened to Michelle Rhee was sinful. I never saw a more racist election in my life!!! And in a city where several very high up teachers union officials are doing time.
An African American Politician who is also a sports star will get a slap on the wrist.

KJ might need to be booked for assault, but I’m not sure how leftie he is. His wife, possibly only for political reasons, identified with Democrats and certain leftie causes, but was a crusader against the public teachers’ unions in DC, and a real promoter of education reform.
His office is officially non-partisan. He started out in politics by developing a charter school (St. HOPE), but is also very big into real-estate development.
Not being from Sacramento, I know little else, but from what I can tell, Trump might like him for the Dept of Ed. (I’m 99% joking about that.)
“DIE CAPITALIST SCUM!!!”
(*cake thrown*)
(K.J. does nothing)
“Was that what it was like playing against Jordan?”
(all Hell breaks lose)
Alternatively:
“DIE CAPITALIST SCUM!!!”
(*cake thrown*)
(K.J. does nothing)
“and you don’t even try, except for the playoffs”
“THE HELL I DON’T!!!”
What about banana cream pie?
So applause instead of assault charges? Sorry, but I am sure it is not lawful to beat someone to a bloody pulp over a pie being thrown.

Assault begets assault.
An ‘Occupy’ guy vs a Hillary supporter. I call that a spectator sport.
