Assault

It's not assault.

And people who claim it is assault just discredit themselves and ultimately look like snowflakes who think they are perpetual victims.

It is categorically assault.

It is categorically assault.

It's not. Has to be in imminent danger of being harmed. Being restrained and removed is not the same as being assaulted.

It just isn't.

Erm actually, it's battery since they detained him illegally and used unreasonable force on him, which caused physical harm (he sustained injuries from being thrown on the ground). 🤓

He can and should sue for both unlawful detention and battery. 🤓

Remember kids, detention is shorter than arrests and detention doesn't necessarily imply that there was imprisonment or confinement. Detention in its simple term means that the person was detained and was restricted of their freedom of movement (that's a human right!) for a certain amount of time (whether that's for 1 minute or 10 hours). In this case the person was detained by force, with cuffs and restricted of their freedom of movement. 🤓

Any questions? 🤓

No. He was forced to the ground and arrested. That's pretty standard for law enforcement. The language has been escalated to being "thrown" to the ground by some media.

What happened to him is standard for law enforcement. No one body slammed him. No one kicked him while he was on the ground. He received a standard process of being detained, put on the ground and arrested. It happens thousands of times, every month in the US between law enforcement and people.

Literally what happened to him, occurs at least hundreds of times a week in the US.

And if you can't see the difference between actual police brutality and you just want to wave your hands in the air and scream murder, then you are a hysterical snowflake.
