What Red used to call Eric on "That 70's Show" is a good one.

I kind of wish the officer had pulled out his gun and shot the guy.

Tased and then pepper sprayed. Repeat as needed until he repents.

That would work as a secondary option. People doing that crap just need to be beat like a rug.

Is it just me or does that guy look like Dak Prescott?

That’s an easy way to ruin your life with a felony

Authorities say once Dechoudena was cleared, he was arrested and booked in jail on a terrorist threat charge. But the Tarrant County’s District Attorney's Office later changed the charge to harassment of a public servant.

The DA is a ... um ... "British cat".
If terrorizing others and threatening with a deadly weapon (the virus is deadly, no?), I would love for the terrorism charge to go through.
I wonder if the idiot soiled himself when they read him the original charge. He could have gone away for years.
Now the officer's life is disrupted and he must live in constant fear for his life. He should sue for millions for mental anguish, right?
And please don't let FecesBook hear about this. The young idiots might start it as a new fad. I'd refer they stick with eating Tide pods, drinking bleach and snorting condoms.

This may be an easier charge to get to stick and carries a higher felony level (3 vs State Jail Felony) for how he did it.
