    Default Re: Aggravated Assault Against a Police Officer

    Are you honestly saying that the police should have seen such a terribly drunk person on a city bus and just LEFT you there? "Left you alone?"

    Are you still drunk?

    Further, you mention theft of services... may I assume that you didn't pay for your bus ride?

    And you think the police should have just left you there.... unpaid and dangerously drunk.

    Again... are you drunk NOW?

    To: antrc170 & viol8te,

    I am quite certain that neither of you have the competence to assist anyone who seeking assistance in a matter of criminal assault.

    1. It is understood the police are not required to obtain witness statements. However, witness observation may be relevant to fully assess the situation. Events prior to the arrival of the police are relevant. failure to seek witness statements for the record looks like
    You were drunk on a city bus. How many witnesses do you think they needed to prove that?

    2. I was in a state of unconsciousness. The applicable Arizona Statute does not address the means by which one becomes unconscious. (see below) Your moral opinion is probably best served in a different forum. And by the way, I was not charged with public intoxication.
    I guess they figured they had enough with the multiple felonies.

    You were obviously a danger to yourself and others.

    3. I am not claiming intoxication as an excuse for my behavior.
    Actually, by my count, you already have... twice.

    However, I am claiming the police may have provoked my arrest by applying pressure point techniques and forcing restraint. But not for their behavior the incident would not have happened.
    How, exactly, are police officers supposed to remove a belligerent drunk from a city bus? Where you hoping for unicorns and glitter?

    Honestly... the fault here is not the officers but yours for being so blotto you resisted help AFTER ASKING FOR IT and then took a swing at a cop.

    4. The police were aware that I was unconscious for a lengthy period and unresponsive to stimulation.
    Sure sign of alcohol poisoning. See above "danger to self and others" comment.

    I am sure they are trained to assess the need for medical assistance. I do not have access to official police procedures however, my situation likely requires medical assessment.
    I thought you said they took you to the hospital? What else do you think you are entitled to?

    One minute you are demanding to be left alone and the next are wanting to sue everyone because you didn't receive an airlift to the nearest trauma center.

    Make up your mind.

    5. The applicable Arizona Statute reads as follows:
    13-1203. Assault; classification

    A. A person commits by:

    1. Intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any physical injury to another person; or
    we can actually stop here... but let's go on.

    2. Intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent physical injury; or
    That works too.

    3. Knowingly touching another person with the intent to injure, insult or provoke such person.
    wow, that works, too.

    Aggravated assault applies only if the person has knowledge the other person is a police officer which, I clearly did not. (A.R.S. 13-1204(8)(a)
    What part of the badge and uniform got past ya?

    Saying you were too drunk to recognized uniform police officers is NOT a defense. What, they should have to get a sky writer or something until you understood that piece of tin over their heart was a badge?

    That's just stupid. I thought you promised not to use your drunkeness as an excuse anymore.

    I welcome everyone's opinion but am only interested in responses from those who actually have knowledge or experience similar to mine. I will seek moral advise from other sources.

    Thanks
    You are welcome.

    Enjoy prison.
