Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra captured video of a 16-year-old girl’s face being held on the ground by Worcester police officers; she and her mother were detained in an apparent ICE operation
Another woman, 38-year-old Ashley Spring of Worcester, was also arrested by local police after allegedly throwing “an unknown liquid substance” on officers. She is charged with assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, disorderly conduct and interfering with a police officer, Worcester police said.
Water it was water, or possibly Dunkin’s iced coffee water, but I bet it came out of a fucking drinking container. Deadly weapon my ass.
So, in MA, if you throw literally anything or any substance at anyone, Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon is the default charge, because state law defines “Dangerous Weapon” as “literally anything that’s not a part of your own body”.
Dangerous and weapon are redundant. And water is neither. Spit, sure but that’s because of diseases and should still be assault but not with a weapon. I hope a judge is rational enough to throw this out.
This shit is dystopian, but I have to admit that I’m mildly relieved to see these videos of crowds forming to yell at the thugs and get in their way. It gives me some small amount of hope.
This is how you radicalize people

If you’re gonna get arrested at least throw acid at these fucking cowards.

I’m not debating that it’s dumb. I’m just saying that’s what the law is that’s on the books, and that’s the book they’ll throw at you if they can.

One can only hope.
