ETA, what would you have done if the union guy had responded by stomping a mudhole in his ass? (prob would have been my reaction)

Video doesn't matter, if a cop doesn't see the actual battery, and if the victim doesn't file a complaint, the video is moot.

Well that would depend on if the old bastard wanted to press charges, If yes, I would have arrested them both for battery, and let the courts decide the guilty party.

I don't think that's technically correct...

Cops may choose to make an arrest on the spot or not. We know this. But even if cops charge and arrest someone, it is the prosecutors that decide whether or not to take a case to trial. Prosecutors can choose to prosecute crimes even if there is no arrest, and in many states there doesn't even need to be a complaint filed or an arrest for them to press charges days or weeks after an incident.

You will see that a lot in domestic violence cases.

I don't know about run of the mill assault and battery between two men. I suspect that would be a less common scenario, but I'm pretty sure that if a prosecutor gets hold of evidence of a crime and decides to prosecute, he can do so at any time within that crimes statute of limitations...

Just sayin'

Supidity abounds whenever you post. Kings case ONLY took off when TV stations showed the beating on the news. The case also blows apart your theory that cops watching an assualt will charge those involved.

Then you should stop posting... I never said that cops witnessed the assault, asswipe, I in fact said the opposite. Clean your fucking glasses.

You did not answer my question about the word scumbagcop being one word or two?
I find it most instructive that you, a so called cop, refer to the victim in this case as a "union thug"

And I find your ignorance instructive as well. Union thug is an apt term for a man sent to the rally to shout down the speaker, what would YOU call a person who was sent to disrupt a Democrat?

Oh yeah, a teabagger.

Here's your answer, now answer my question... Is douchebag one word, or is it douche bag? I am of course, referring to someone who uses bold font for general replies to try and look cool.

"disrupt"? If a candidate can't deal with hecklers, how is he going to deal with the Chinese Ambassador over Taiwan?

I take the inability to cope with minor interruptions to be a clear indication of the unsuitability of the candidate. When Mitt gets the 3am Phone Call, will he tell the secret service to just hang up the phone?
