    You’d use that in court to show how serious the fight was.

    Assaulting a police officer has two standard. It’s a higher punishment if you need medical care.

    So dudes would call an ambulance to get a band aid put on to qualify for the greater chargers. They received medical care.

    I am not anti-cop at all but I am anti-bullshit.

        That’s why I hate plea bargaining so much.

        Guy is mentally Ill. Old. Maybe started a fight with a cop but how much of a threat is he?

        Yet he’ll get charged and got to jail/prison and is society safer ?

        He’ll plea because no way he can afford a lawyer.
