I can not figure out how throwing a sandwich at somebody is a felony.

The threats he made against the officers, while he was jumping around, before throwing the sandwich, were why he was charged with a felony. The threats alone could have got him one year in jail, per officer. Since he made physical contact, by hitting the officer with the sandwich, the penalty can now be as high as 10 years. The fighting during the arrest can get him even more time, up to 10 more years per officer physically contacted.

If he had just thrown the sandwich, without the threats and didn't resist arrest, the most he could have got was one year in jail.

He's likely not going to get much time out of this.

Really? Who overstepped? I've never ordered food at a subway or any eating establishment and had to be harassed and food thrown at me by someone! Who overstepped? Lock the Ahole up. Watch the video...it was striking an officer! Can't be any clearer.

If that sub wasn't fresh it could have killed him..

I was unaware he was making verbal threats. You would think a lawyer would know better.

Taught him a lesson, I'm willing to bet he won't do it again!

Your time here on T-man should let you know, not all lawyers are smart.

Boy howdy.

There's a good chance the sub-throwing stooge is in sex trafficking and they're cutting in on his fun.

Watch the whole video from the time he was yelling at them from across the street to approaching them and getting face to face. They pretty much were ignoring him, which caused him to amp it up until he hit the cop (I believe a federal agent) with the sandwich and then took off running. The run away indicates he knew he crossed a line. A citizen should have stepped in and slapped him out of it and the whole thing could have been avoided.

If you watch the video the guy appears to be high on something with his continuous movements a good indicator of drug use, a guy making bad decisions while on drugs I know unheard of.

The District of Columbia has an out of control murder rate and the local government is not doing their job and have not done much for years. Federal law enforcement is an option there as it’s not a State.

Like it or not when law enforcement is on scene they are the authority that’s in charge someone has to be and they train for that job. In my view law enforcement has done an extraordinary job of doing their jobs with what little support the Left has given them over the last several years. Many cities just make a tough job tougher with the games they play and politicians can’t be trusted to support them and work against them often.

The lack of accountability has become dangerous today with punks throwing bricks, fire bombs, frozen bottles and commercial fireworks they still get away with too much but political correctness hinders enforcement efforts. If a group of thugs started tossing that stuff at you what would you do about it then? Many are paid activist they are not average citizens these are organized attacks with weapons being supplied to them the same with the gear they are wearing.

If they are paid warriors treat them accordingly being passive will just emboldened them to continue. If you’re a federal attorney high on whatever attacking law enforcement you probably need some other type of employment or treatment.

Frozen water, rocks, fireworks, can all cause serious injuries. I agree they need dealt with.

Shakespeare comes to mind! LOL

If someone wants to throw a Subway sandwich at me, I hope it’s a meatball with provolone cheese. Those things are fantastic.

Got that right!

From OIP are the best.

That's my favorite Subway sandwich too. I ate my first one as a sophomore in high school, on a friend's recommendation and have almost exclusively been eating those from Subway since.
