1. Was he charged with anything?

[chowder66]

3. It doesn't say. However...

“He is charged with a violation of 18 USC 111 and will have a court appearance [Monday],” Essayli said.

Those charged with violations of United States Penal Code 18 USC 111 are accused of “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers or employees,” according to federal law.

They say he threw a tear gas canister.

4. "They say he threw a tear gas canister."

He was merely returning what he assumed was lost or misplaced property to those that had 'lost' it!

[AZJonnie]

10. His union said witnesses said he was trying to free a tear gas canister that was stuck under someone's wheelchair

And, like, suffocating the pour soul with gas they couldn't escape from.

So, ya know, the ICE fucking fascists arrested him for that

6. Sounds like one of those catch-all, cover-your-butt violations to be made use of

by authorities when they've been caught dead to right being very wrong!

[Pinback]

8. Right, like "assaulting an officer"

when you assault his fist with your face.

9. ACAB, even Federales. nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

19. And they claim to have bodycam footage

They should release it if they really have it.

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. I'm relieved that he's been released

He never should've been detained.

As I write this, Lawrence is talking about what will happen to trump if we win back the House. Third impeachment.

15. Ironic the officers can assault us

but we cannot defend ourselves from their assault.

[WarGamer]

16. It's been that way ever since... forever.

[Ilsa]

17. Where does a protestor get tear gas?

Does Amazon sell it? The bodega on the corner? Is there a recipe for it?

[ILikePie92]

18. This is great news!

But....I keep thinking about the fact that in WKRP in Cincinnati.....Dr. Johnny Fever's real name was Jonathan Caravello!

Coincidence? Hmm mm
