> The jury's verdict comes after Customs and Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore testified that the snack "exploded all over him" and he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform. [...] "I could feel it through my ballistic vest," he said of the sandwich's impact, adding that an onion string hung from his police radio and mustard stained his shirt.
God, how horrifying. Maybe with time and intensive therapy he'll eventually be able to heal.
- yndoendo 11mo agoThey never took photo evidence of the scene and the only captured content was from a 3rd party showing the Subway sandwich wrapped up, lying on the street. I would say Gregory Lairmore is a po' boy full of shit.
- natebc 11mo ago> a po' boy full of shit Now that's a sandwich-in-the-face worthy of getting worked up about!

- pxc 11mo agoWow. So they even lied about the details of how the sandwich hit them.
- morkalork 11mo agoIf ICE are willing to lie over a sandwich in an attempt to ruin someone's life, what else will they lie about when the stakes are higher?
- zippyman55 11mo agoHe views like as a shit sandwich and the more bread he has, the less shit he needs to taste. This was embarrassing.
- gamblor956 11mo agoHe must have had very sensitive skin to feel a sandwich through a ballistic vest.
- tdb7893 11mo agoPeople shouldn't be throwing sandwiches at people but it's wild in the US that the most minor stuff against the police and they try to charge you with a felony but police can commit pretty much any form of assault (even on camera) and often don't even lose their job unless there's a big outcry.
- AngryData 11mo agoI mean you don't get 25% of the world's total prison population by having a fair and just law enforcement system.
- jahsome 11mo agoEven with an outcry, the blue wall often protects them only until it's politically untenable.
- adrr 11mo agoLaw enforcement officer committed perjury on the stand since the defense presented a picture of the sandwich after the throw and it was still wrapped up. It never exploded.
- jojobas 11mo agoAn attack on a cop is an attack on the state. You sure have a right to revolution but you better succeed, cause state has the right to imprison you.

- ethin 11mo agoThese people will literally claim that just bumping into them is "assault". Where do you think they're getting the "1000 percent increase" stats from? (For those who aren't aware, what the DHS is really trying to say is "well ,before all this started, there were just 10 assaults per year on ICE officers and now there's 100".)
- techdmn 11mo agoI've read / watched a few different stories now, where what happens is the police / ICE assault a protestor, then charge the protestor with assaulting the officer and resisting arrest. You don't bump them, you attack their fists and clubs with the softer parts of your body.
- pxc 11mo agoThis reads so much like The Onion, it's uncanny.
- grebc 11mo agoI commented on the prior article posted that The Onion writers don’t even need to conjure a story anymore, just report the facts.
- amarant 11mo agoIt's a veritable smorgasbord of trauma!
- dktalks 11mo agoI was in a grand jury recently and a cop/attorney came to the supreme court of our state with a terroristic threat from a homeless person in a park who made a gun sign and said pow pow, and they wanted us to indict them.... By this standard most of the sports player in the nation should be indicted. Good news we unanimously rejected it
