(6,750 posts)But the guy was fine while screaming in the officers face. He was ignored. Good crowd control. But that act of pelting something at the Officer was his downfall. You can't throw something. His arrest was proper, let the courts adjudicate the matter. The officer must arrest him to stop further, more serious things being thrown.

(6,750 posts)The act of throwing anything is the line not to cross. Police people are people too with families and lives. Let the Courts decide the seriousness of the action. Think of the poor Capitol officers who suffered so much. They were treated horribly by Trump
