You don't think that attacking police officers should be criminal? You don't think that attacking people should be criminal? You not only think you should be allowed to throw sandwiches at cops, but sandwiches at me, too?

I think weakening the protection against law enforcement being assaulted raises the likelihood that law enforcement will instantly react with violence under any vague threat.

edit: I warn that if you, a stranger who doesn't like me, throws something at me, you're going to be looking at more than a fine, immediately. I'm black, if every racist on the street gets one sandwich I'd be able to open a sandwich shop.

> me, lightly touching miette with the side of my foot: miette move out the of way please so I don’t trip on you

> miette, her eyes enormous: you KICK miette? you kick her body like the football? oh! oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for throwing a sandwich at you, and wouldn't argue with someone who would think it justified.

We all get sandwiches, comrade

Without asymmetrical law there is less incentive for baseless escalation, not more.
