Crime This is what our DOJ is doing now.

Pull your knickers up. This was a misdemeanor that should have been taken care of on a community level.

Was a it a federal agent or a local one. I believe it was a federal agent. So that makes it a federal case.

I guess because he was an officer in the performance of his duties. Sounds like an over reach.

The perjury was what the officer say the sandwich " exploded on him" thats more a matter of opinion on how much food was on him.

How does a sandwich explode on someone if it was never unwrapped?

Did it get on him? If so it could be described that way.

So its legal to throw sandwiches on people now.

If it's not pagers it's deadly sandwiches.........

I'd feed it to you nicely and wipe your lip.

Fragmentation onions.

The sandwich was still wrapped after. So either some leaked or someone went through a lot trouble wrapping an expldoed sandwich.

Or the officer was being dramatic and the jury called bullshit.

I laughed so hard when I saw it for the first couple of times I watched it.

One thing for sure: After he tossed the sammy, he immediately ran away because he knew that what he did was a no no.

Not into you crazy fantasies. Still avoiding my question.

Sure he might have felt it was worse then it was. The question is was it still a crime or not.

 

[Seano]

So, the guy that threw a sammy at agents and then was chased in a hilarious scene, was just acquitted of all charges. This is what the DOJ is up to. How many millions of dollars did this cost tax payers? One of the agents testified that, "I smelled the onions....and the mustard, as the sandwich exploded". This is clown shit. Another faceplant for an inept administration.

I'd expect to be arrested and charged if I did the same thing. You don't think you would be?

 

[Noveltymortar]

The only issue I see here is that it is apparently OK to throw things at people without fear of consequences, at least according to the air headed leftists who cry here about Trump on a daily basis.

Criminal act or offense, sure, but good luck getting a conviction when you get cripple your chances by overcharging, failing, then by having a cop more or less lie to citizens who think the entire incident was silly.

That's why he immediately ran away.

Did the jury have the option to find on a lower charge? If not the DA fucked up. If so the jury fucked up by not doing so.

Dunno but this is the kind of offense that should be punished with community service or something. Not by trying to railroad a felony assault charge and then failing to even get a misdemeanor charge because the DOJ is incompetent. I'm guessing they didn't offer a plea deal.

 

[N13]

I feel bad for law enforcement in general, and the guy who was struck with the Sammich in particular.

Imagine his reaction when he found out that the sammie chucker got off scott free.

What's next, eggs and tomatoes?

 

[nhbbear]

No, they say the guy was not guilty of misdemeanor assault, with the grand jury rejecting the even more ridiculous charge of felony assault.

It also didn't help that the officer very clearly perjured himself in court.

Do you think it still rises to misdemeanor assault?

And why would we need to imagine federal agents throwing sandwiches when we've seem them do far worse and get cover from the government for blatantly improper or even illegal behavior?

Also the bolded part was the officer perjuring himself.

So, I do believe this is assault. The difference between battery and assault is that battery is making contact and assault is placing a reasonable person in fear of receiving a bodily injury. Some states word it differently and some differentiate between the two types of crimes. But assault as I define it, is making verbal threats or cocking your fist back-not making internet threats across the country, but something that a person could potentially carry out the attack.

Anyway, does he know it is a sandwich or did he reasonably believe that it could have been something else? See, all o would notice is that someone threw something at me and I believe that fear of being injured would be reasonable. And I don’t know what you’re referring to with the perjury accusation-I read very little about the actual trial-that was my two cents-that I don’t want covered in smelly food.

And I am not saying we should give agents carte Blanche to do whatever they want-it’s not right. But you’re saying “it’s just a sandwich-it couldn’t hurt anyone and it’s not a crime at all.” And I am pointing out if an agent did it, you would have problems with it as would I. Not a crime-Which is absurd garbage.
