In NYS, that’s not assault.

Let me get this straight: If I did to you what this cop did to the kid in the video, while you were wearing your filthy badge, it would not be assault? It’s hard to believe that I’d live to tell about it, given what I know about you and your kind.

Strangely enough that appears to be true. In NY there has to be an injury for it to be assault.

In VT merely threatening bodily harm is assault.

Look, friend, I’m just telling you the law as it stands in NYS. You don’t like it, write your Congressman. Don’t judge me from behind your keyboard. It makes you look silly and beneath intelligent conversation.
