If we’re being honest, I think most people would agree. Is that an unreasonable expectation?[/quote]

Cool now do J6[/quote]

+1[/quote]

I'd love to hear that. 
[/quote]

Well we have great news!  Over 1,600 people who were federally charged for J6 and over 1,000 plead guilty. Wish, granted![/quote]

I think you missed something …[/quote]

+1. Maybe you failed to read that Trump pardoned all the January 6 domestic terrorists on the first day of his term.  Some like Jared Wise were even hired at DOJ despite being on video encouraging rioters to kill the Capitol Police.[/quote]

PP?

[/quote]

So because Trump pardoned the J6 crowd, many who spent years in jail and were financially ruined, it’s now ok to assault federal police in a completely unrelated case?  Not sure what kind of answer you’re looking for.  Both seem wrong to me. [/quote]

It wasn't assault.[/quote]
It very clearly was.[/quote]

Not according to the jury.  
[/quote]

Jury nullification in DC does not change facts and is part the reason the criminal justice system in DC is so hopelessly broken.[/quote]

No reasonable person thinks this was an “assault”.  GMAFB. 
[/quote]

A first year law student could have gotten an assault verdict on these facts before an impartial jury.  Like after only a few weeks of taking crim law. [/quote]

Nope. No reasonable person thinks this was an “assault”. 
[/quote]

It’s not what you think. It’s what the statute says.  [/quote]

It’s what the jury thinks.

“The legal standard is what an ordinary [b]reasonable person[/b] under the same circumstances as the victim would have believed.”
[/quote]

Correct.  Any reasonable person on a jury would find that an offensive touching occurred that satisfied a finding of assault.  DC juries are not reasonable.  They are made up of political activists and aspiring criminals.  [/quote]

No, they wouldn’t.

You’d be faux offended by someone tapping your shoulder. 
[/quote]

Maybe you would Karen.  I live in the real world, where people get bumped on the Metro, on the playground etc.  The jury correctly ascertained that the law enforcement officer being forced to small mustard from the Subway sandwich tossed by a drunk guy did not constitute assault.   [/quote]

Yes, obviously it wasn't assault. Maybe read the comments before responding, dickhead.
