Funny, innit:

So this dude went around and sprayed people with high power water guns, and is now charged with assault.

For spraying them with water.  Lots of water, apparently. Yes, if you stretch it, it is assault. He was charged and should end up doing some time.

And yet, Federal officers in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement went around last year and shot innocent people with Pepperballs, and got away with it. Not  harmless (if irritating) water, but pepper balls and pepper spray. They did it in Chicago, they did it in Dallas.. Minneapolis and Philadelphia….shot protesters at their detention facilities, and they shot at innocents in fully half of the raids they did across the country, where they shot pepperballs and pepper spray at anyone who happened to be near the person they were arresting, interfering or not. and they did it with impunity. There’s lots of video proof, yet nothing happened to them. No ICE or CBP officer got charged with assault or anything else.

Not relatively harmless water, but Pepperballs. You know: pepper based paintballs.

Why did they get away with it?

Double standards for Federal officers leads to Bad Things.
