Stupid is as stupid does.
Then there’s the other moron off camera: “Wha he beez detain fo?” Um. Assault and battery, you moron. LOL!
The cops should have also arrested every one of the other thugs that tried to get in their way and help the perp.
As soon as the cops start to detain “the mostly peaceful protestor”, you hear the lie “He hit him first, he hit him first”.
They do this crap and then act if they and their friends are victims. What a dumb turd that guy was.
The belief in the ‘urban community’ is that you should just take your beatdown. I guess that includes cops.
If they were to go after 'assault', they would be arresting every foul-mouthed character engaging in one-on-one assaults. Legally, while there are differing local standards, the base deffinition is; An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability.
Taking that swing with the intent to hit, that is the battery! Young punk is looking a Duracel - a duration in a cell!
