...of a law enforcement officer, no less...which usually increases the charge, not reduces it. If taking a cafeteria tray out of someone's hand is assault (you know the case), then throwing the contents of that tray on someone is a step worse.
When it comes to Leftists, they are "overcharged," but when it comes to the Right, "no one is above the law." That viewpoint is Stalinist: not enforcing the law fairly & impartially, but rather selecting the man, and then picking the crime you want.
