scaredy, clearly your knowledge about a person’s right to walk away from cops when they are being questioned is far greater than mine. I will defer to you on that.
But if that’s the case, what’s to stop anyone from walking away from a cop when they are being questioned? What’s to stop a mass murderer from walking away when a cop stops them? That makes no sense at all.
And I think that a misdemeanor assault charge is fairly reasonable (my guess is that this is for political cover, as many people would say that even this charge would be unjustified), but nothing beyond that.
