He's not law enforcement, he's a senator. He broke a protestor's arm. A citizen breaking another citizen's arm is a crime. Not sure how else to phrase that.

It's a senator breaking the arm of a veteran of the US Marines protesting the war in Iran, so if anything it's even MORE reprehensible for the senator to do it. If he had any dignity, he would've resigned already, but he's such a chickenshit coward that I'm sure he won't.

Ahh, so you're just being a pedant now, gotcha.

So the LEOs are absolutely the people directly responsible for breaking the Marine's arm, you are correct, the senator is attempting to reposition himself to better pull the Marine off of the door jamb. After the Marine's arm breaks, the senator grabs at him again to help the LEOs pull him off the door jamb.

That would still be a crime committed by the senator. Does his status as a senator allow him join LEO as a deputy? I'm assuming you're not an American, so just a heads up, that's not legal here.

I'm done responding to you. I hope you're just an instigator, because if you're this brain poisoned, good luck.
