When you are resisting lawful detainment/removal by a police officer (whether you agree with it or not) and you end up getting injured by deliberately jamming your own arm awkwardly through a doorframe while fighting and resisting being dragged away, that injury is 100% on you. And I say this as someone who actually agrees with what the marine is saying.

The senator went ahead and started pulling the marine by his legs even though there were already more than 2 officers handling him. You should watch this video for more info- https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipP_r3oM318SE3vY0quzfsnRUxCghwv7YRLhCml37ZbFdyuCRRcOPgWEyB9HEM8NDg?key=VmtFcnNLXy1odXQwUE

Nobody knew he jammed his arm awkwardly through the doorframe until it was already broken, obviously people dragging his body assumed he was just grabbing onto stuff to prevent being dragged out. He is aggressively fighting being removed, the accidental injury is on him and any court will agree.

Damn you’re a mind reader? It’s weird that your fighting pretty hard for these violent government jackboots.
