I have a few questions for professional murder-rationalizer and DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin,
... who claimed that 16 year-old Arnoldo Bazan had “assaulted” officers during the arrest by hitting one with an elbow, capping her statement with the following, incredibly smug flourish: “The federal law enforcement officer graciously chose not to press charges.”
1. Can you describe the injury sustained by the officer Arnoldo Bazan allegedly struck with his elbow?
2. What medical treatment did the officer receive for his injury?
3. Given that this 16 year-old US citizen was beaten, choked, and robbed of his cell phone, shouldn't he be the one pressing charges?
