An 18-year-old man has been arrested for assault after taunting officers with a doughnut, which he had dangled on a string at the end of a stick.

The incident took place during a ‘Back the Blue’ rally in Everett, Washington, on Friday, July 17, a demonstration, which had been organised by members of the Snohomish County Republican Party.

Footage taken at the scene shows the teenager skateboarding up to a group which included sheriff’s deputies and marshals, asking if they wanted to have ‘a bite’.

1. "Republican Law and Order" aka Snowflake Justice.

Right wingers are the most emotionally fragile demographic on Planet Earth

2. Formal Charge...

"Unprovoked attack on an officer with fried dough covered with a sugary substance, which was hanging from a string. Fried dough did not actually touch officer, but it was dangled in front of him, causing some feelings to be hurt a little bit".

I don't know...if I were one of those cops, I would have been laughing my ass off and congratulating that guy for his creativity.

24. Not only that

But he was accused of practicing VooDoo on them.

4. I pity the prosecutor who gets this case.

The judge is going to ream his ass.

5. Bad cop.

No donut.

[A HERETIC I AM]

6. Crack squad of law enforcement there, folks. Total professionals.

And they fucking wonder why people hate cops.

7. K, can the kid sue for false arrest? Seriously, in America we accept cops being assholes and ...

... unprofessional but don't realize that turns into assaulter and murderer when the people become less white.

[PatSeg]

15. Actually, it looked like someone attacked or tried to attack

the kid, but it is unclear on the video. It was a dumb prank, but certainly didn't warrant arrest.

[Hotler]

17. I would call that a creative lampoon not a dumb prank. nt

[kacekwl]

8. A little thin skinned

aren't we?

[Throck]

9. The kid could have run easily.

Fat cop would have been out of air in 10 yards.

[Locrian]

11. yeah and maybe end up with a bullet in his back....

You never know... disrespecting a cop is an offense punishable by any means

I mean how dim-witted and weak do you have to be to get upset by something like this?
Wouldn't any sane decent person just laugh at it?
Bu that's cops. Disrespect is the *worst* to them

[uponit7771]

16. +1

[greenjar_01]

19. Pew pew pew...why'd you run?

A.C.A....you know the rest

10. Kick

12. Yep

Posted that in the Washington forum.

Snohomish County sheriff's deputy seems a bit thin skinned.

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Liberate WASHINGTON!

That kid wouldn’t be in any trouble if he only were open carrying donuts.

[ecstatic]

14. No "good cops" on the scene, as usual

All the while, a teenage girl continues to record the incident, and it’s clear that the skateboarder does not assault or touch any of the officers at any point in the footage.

When the girl asks why exactly he is being arrested, the same officer who had been laughing at the doughnut joke mere moments before told her to ‘back off’, stating:

He assaulted a lieutenant. You back off or you’ll go to jail.

[Hotler]

18. This may have been what triggered the arrest.

The man holds the doughnut up higher in the air, in front of the plain-clothes lieutenant.

“Hey, any of you bootlickers want this?” the man says, louder.

The sheriff’s lieutenant immediately becomes upset.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

20. ACAB.

[gratuitous]

21. Cop mistakes service pistol for taser and shoots man dead

No, this actually happened. Link here. Eh, things happen, you know? Charges against cop dismissed. Regrettable incident. Sorry for your loss. (Last sentence optional)

Teen-ager rolls up on cops, dangles donut (not in a dirty way), arrested for assault.

See how that works?

[not_the_one]

22. DON'T taunt me with a Krispy Kreme... things could get ugly, fast.

mmmmmmmmmm.... glazed with chocolate icing... greasy sugary nothingness melts in your mouth... (NOT one of those cake donuts that are so heavy they could injure you if you got hit with one) I am gaining weight just fantasizing about it...

Cops know they have a reputation with donuts, OWN it.

[Ferryboat]

23. Charges have been dropped by judge

Kid sueing for $150K.

[Wounded Bear]

25. The evidence won't last until the trial...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

26. Appears charges will be dropped

27. The Punk With The Gun Thinks He's A Gangster

Holding the gun like he's auditioning for "Boys In The Hood".
Do responsible gun owners really hold a handgun like this?
They shouldn't as it's been proven to be substantially less accurate.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Looks like he was charging it to put a round in the chamber

Stupid thing to do unless ones life is in danger.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Irresponsible Gun Owner?

Chambering the weapon doesn't seem to responsible to me.
I didn't notice that because I thought he had hand over hand on the grip.
I didn't examine further because I really just hope that punk gets arrested.

[lame54]

29. The real question is...

Which one got the donut?

Obviously they weren't going to share it
