WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors have failed to obtain a felony indictment against a man who was seen on camera hurling a sandwich at a federal law enforcement official in the nation’s capital, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
Sean Charles Dunn was arrested on an assault charge after he threw a sub-style sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. A video of the incident went viral, and shortly after he was fired from the Justice Department, where he worked as an international affairs specialist in the department’s criminal division.
The case is one of the examples of the legal pushback to President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington that has led to more than 1,000 arrests. It is highly unusual for grand jurors to refuse to return an indictment, and it was once said that prosecutors could persuade a grand jury to “indict a ham sandwich.”
“public safety operation”
Journalists are going to sanitize their own executions. Wish we had a real Fourth Estate that would challenge political branding rather than stenograph it.
Reuters just did that.
IDF bombed a reuters journalist, but they reported what IDF said as the headline, claiming their target was a Hamas camera… It was their camera.
This is why one of their major targets is due process.
Fucking maddening how so many Latinos voted for Trump because “they got in the right way”, not realising that they’d end up getting randomly stopped and deported “because they fit the profile”.
It never pays to throw in your lot with white supremicists, they’ll always turn on you.
most of the latinos that came over were originally rich people that were pissed when the thier countries “siezed thier lands , or nationalized thier properties”. florida and texas is probably the main places they come when they land in america, often helped by right wing churches to house them. because most of them are catholic, so the churches have an easier time to convince them to vote against the “devil” and communism.
