Oscars producer Will Packer revealed the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told Chris Rock backstage at the Academy Awards after Will Smith punched him in the face that what the actor did was “battery,” and that they were prepared to “arrest him.”
In an interview with Good Morning America, Packer explained police officers were immediately on the scene backstage after the attack, telling Rock what his rights were, and informing the comedian that they were prepared to arrest the actor.
Packer said the LAPD “came into my office, and they were laying out very clearly what Chris’ rights were. They were saying: ‘This is battery. We will go get him. We will go get him right now, you can press charges, we can arrest him.'”
“The LAPD made it clear: ‘We will do whatever you want us to do — and one of the options is that we will go and arrest him right now,'” he added.
The Oscars producer also mentioned that he, too, would support Rock’s decision.

Of course it was battery. Any sophomore level criminal justice major could tell you that.
Will Smith is too big to fail.
and now we’ll see if he’s too big to punish...
All publicity is good publicity
So why wasn’t he REMOVED???
Hmmm???
Can you imagine the reaction if you were “asked to leave” an event and just said NO??
DO you think that would have been the end of it? Or would you have been forcibly removed by security or the police?
These people are inexcusable.
Actually would have been a lot funnier, if Rock had responded to Mr. Smith’s shouting of “Keep my wife’s name out of your [CENSORED] mouth!”
With
“How about you keep your wife’s mouth off other men’s [CENSORED}?”
Tempest in a teapot. BFD… look at all those media wedgies in a twist over this soap opera drama from Woke two Hollyweirdos. Next…..
Feuilleton.
Anyway, was is domestic battery, or did the battery come from China?
Not buying it.
Black on black crime. Expect the typical outcome.
They have to keep the “Buzz!” going in spite of the wide spread “DON”T CARE!” attitude of the public!

I don’t think they need Rock’s ok to arrest.
Not getting enough publicity? Let’s get some more going.
WHO CARES! OSCARS ARE TRASH TALKING ANYWAY.
Battery and assault in plain view of the whole world has nothing to do with “Rock has to press charges”.
Crime is crime.
Arrest Will Smith already and charge him with assault and battery.
Oh wait, Alec Baldwin is still walking free after murdering a woman in front of everybody.
Don’t talk.
Do.
