[Rochester,] New York cops call video taped ‘Knockout’ attack harassment, not assault
Daily Caller ^ | 12:08 PM 01/08/2014 | Chuck Ross

Rochester New York police are characterizing the brazen attack of an elderly woman as harassment rather than what it appears to be—another example of the hotly-debated “knockout game.”

The attacker, a young black male who operated a Facebook account under the name “True Goon Tocool Sneekey”, narrated his plan for the camera. […]

Despite the obvious assault, Rochester police spokeswoman Sgt. Elena Correia said that the incident “is more likely an example of a harassment than an assault,” reported The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. …

She is encouraging more assaults, murders and rapes.

THAT IS NOT THE JOB of LEO.
She is a terrorist supporter.

Others mileage may vary and results were proven in a controlled environment by experts.

Why not go with your namesake and use a single action, cowboy tool loaded with .45 ACP Hollow Point ...

She could drill a few holes in him that would enable the body”Evil” to ooze out or be drawn out with the exit wound, assuming she didn’t shoot him in his obvious hard head....

That was my thought. Would it still be simple harassment if I did that to one of their officers? What if it happened to one of their family members?

I carry 2 old style vaquero’s(the larger ones) in .45 Colt....but only for cowboy action shooting.
my bone stock US Army 1944 vintage Single Action semi-auto 1911A1(Remington rand) is much easier to carry. flat, lighter and with equivalent power(in standard loading).

truth be known, at my age, when I carry it usually my 90s manufacturer Colt Mustang in .380, though no powerhouse, is the easiest to carry. And I covet my sons Ruger LCP, .380 which weighs less than half my Mustangs bulk.

Doesn’t matter what “they” call it if the thug is shot dead on the sidewalk.

New York’s definition of harassment is not the same as the common definition:

S 240.26 Harassment in the second degree.
A person is guilty of harassment in the second degree when, with
intent to harass, annoy or alarm another person:
1. He or she strikes, shoves, kicks or otherwise subjects such other
person to physical contact, or attempts or threatens to do the same; or
2. He or she follows a person in or about a public place or places; or
3. He or she engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts
which alarm or seriously annoy such other person and which serve no
legitimate purpose.
Subdivisions two and three of this section shall not apply to
activities regulated by the national labor relations act, as amended,
the railway labor act, as amended, or the federal employment labor
management act, as amended.
Harassment in the second degree is a violation.

Assault is defined as follows (lowest level):

S 120.00 Assault in the third degree.
A person is guilty of assault in the third degree when:
1. With intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes
such injury to such person or to a third person; or
2. He recklessly causes physical injury to another person; or
3. With criminal negligence, he causes physical injury to another
person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument.
Assault in the third degree is a class A misdemeanor.

“Physical injury” means impairment of physical condition or
substantial pain.

In other words, absent breaking anything, or impairing a physical condition, or “substantial” pain (defined through a million court cases), by definition a punch is “harassment.” That doesn’t mean it’s not against the law, it’s just that that is what it’s called in New York.

Because of the nature of the offense, the legislature is constantly reviewing these definitions, and gang attacks, for example, of the same nature raise the degree of crime and punishment substantially. Steal anything in the process and it’s Robbery. It’s all degrees.

Funny. I love having my Kimber .45 with me everywhere.

She’s heavy for sure but, it’s her thyroid problem not her eating .

She’s beautiful anyway and I love her. Especially after she diets and loses 8 or 9 rounds...

How is deliberately and premeditatively punching someone in the face NOT assault. If you punched a cop in the face what would they charge you with?? Certainly not harassment.
