What's the charge? Delivering a footlong meal? A succulent foot-long meal?
It would be assault of a police officer and resisting arrest. Looks like that guy in pink was running in slow motion vs the special forces wanna be's wearing 50 lbs of armor and equipment.
Throwing sandwiches should become the new protest en masse.
I think it's just a play on succulent Chinese meal guy (he's dead now).
Godspeed, you hero of gyros, you hoagie heroine, you rigoletto of Ruebens...
A grinder goodie.

My goodness, so poetic - I love it! And I fully agree with you.
Here's the director's cut. :)

The way they leapt at him the moment he threw it tells me that what he was saying and doing was actually getting to them.
We need more of this.
Also, I know I often laugh when I'm uncomfortable, so maybe that's it, but the camera man is about to find out that maybe having the Gestapo take over your city isn't actually funny.

I mean, I highly doubt it. They were paying keen attention to the fellow screaming and yelling within a chucked sandwich distance, and he then threw a sandwich at them. They'd probably been considering what they could get him on (besides white or rye) for the entire time he was yelling at them because anyone close and loud is likely the biggest 'threat' much more so than any of them having a brain at the point of them going in with any seriousness after being ordered into a city with a lower per capita crime rate than the white house.
Right, but like all of them took off after him lol
Damn! He was close when he threw it. Solid work getting away.
That sub belongs in a museum
Oh, Spez is working on it
this was beautiful thanks for sharing it
Are those the dangerous gangmembers Trump was talking about?
Don’t you know it’s worse than Baghdad!

Nah he was a hero delivering justice
Not all heroes wear capes
But he does have a wrapsheet that's a foot long.
Some just have hero sandwiches?
So... I gotta know. Was it a hero's hero he launched?
a domestic terrorist using a sandwich of mass destruction. /s
The murder weapon was composed of ham and cheese
what a hero
handoff food delivery for those fine fucks, whoops folks, in the gestapo
Cops love sandwiches.
That slow run was like ballet.
Fucking fantastic!
I keep trying to formulate a plan in my head:
On one hand ACAB: They all promote the national security culture within the law enforcement sector that we civilians are the enemy. The departments are all corrupt through and through
On the other hand the non ICE officers hate being used as S𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑟ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑡𝑠𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑡 or Einsatzgruppen (German SD, or Death Squads, respectively) to pick on innocent civilians to be shuttled away to concentration camps. And I wonder if there was a way for the public to tell them we're sorry they are being abused by being repurposed as general goon squads, and if that might encourage them to resist more than they do.
Also, ICE agents, either pre-Trump used to sometimes engage in action that at least had the appearance of legitimacy, e.g. tracking people with violent records. New recruits (post OBBBA Budget) were told they'll be hunting the worst of the worst and then are picking up day laborers and ice-cream vendors, which is soul crushing for even MAGAs who wanted to be the hero.
We need to be able to take these sentiments and weaponize them against the system, and the policy-makers that are forcing them to be evil fucks for The Man.
I don't know the specifics, but there's a schematic in there somewhere.
Oh? They "hate" that, do they? Cite your references to that claim, please. Otherwise, your comment seems to stop at "ACAB" in its efficacy. 🤌🏼
ACAB? American cops are bad?
All Cops Are Bastards, a sentiment that arises from the blue code of silence, so that even the well-meaning ones are obligated to lie in court to defend the violent ones, what allowed the loyalty-over-principle sector to rise into power, which is why there is such staunch resistance against publication of disciplinary hearings against police who misbehaved or broke laws, even though such documents are supposed to be public as per FOIA statutes.
When California passed a law reinforcing the notion that such files would be made accessible to the public, the precincts literally shredded or burned their files.
The institutions are corrupt through and through. It was especially evident during the Ferguson unrest, when the blue lines showed they had no trigger discipline for the military hardware they were wielding. It was laughable, except for the danger they were posing to the demonstrators.
Officers who seek to serve their communities quit. Some of them have publicly denounce police services and have become staunch police abolitionists. The only officers that remain are either violent killers, or the ones willing to cover for violent killers.
All cops are bastards.
"assault and resisting arrest".
