Having your shit fucked with is no fun, particularly when it's in front of a large audience*, and if it includes force then yeah, that's assault. It's not grevious assault or aggravated assault, but it's the kind of thing that people can get fucked up by, and 'lol walk it off' is kind of an insufficient response.
Tho obviously yeah enormous eye-rolling at the Wire season 5ishness of "Something happened to me - pulitzer here I come!" and "Now that I am a victim I can pay attention to this support network that I would've happily ignored for the rest of my days otherwise". It does strike me that it's probably more opportunism than "And _that's_ why you should be afraid of black men! *headtilt*" but I may well be being too generous.
* really have no idea how large the audience on this was.

you know what would have been perfect, is if in the followup report dude had burst back in, snatched the mic and shouted "I'M STILL THAT N_____, AAAAAAAAAAAH"

I mean, obv this would end up being classified as "assault" because what else could you legally call it, but acting like this is on par with getting punched/kicked/beaten/attacked is seriously dumb and minimizes the seriousness of the actual violent crime the original report was about

also how i feel about most "assault on a police officer" charges.
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 24 April 2012 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
it's probably like low-level misdemeanor assault or something. It's at least some level of misdemeanor in most if not all states to deliberately make any kind of unwanted contact with another person (beyond, you know, tapping them on the shoulder to ask what time it is or w/e)

Is it just me or was there a laser pointer dot on the police guy's shirt for a second after they flipped the camera to him at the end of him speaking? Lots of shenanigans going down.
