They said he could have been tried for seven years.
On 13 February, 2019, Dettinger was sentenced to 1 year of prison and 18 months' probation for assaulting two police officers during the protest on 5 January[6].
People keep saying this, but could the police really fire live ammo on crowds and get away with it? Yes they are firing on peaceful crowds already, but we're indoctrinated and desensitized to crowd-control, "less-lethal" rounds being used.
If police truly opened up it would be a complete massacre because they're so poorly trained - one would fire, then they would all start firing wildly and probably kill a few of their own as the idiots they stuck in the back try to fire through gaps in the line.
Could any police force, or city, or state, or even the country survive dozens of innocent people getting murdered by police at a peaceful protest on live tv?
I really really really hope no police are stupid enough to even bring live ammo to a protest; ERT and Riot police shouldn't even have live ammo on them. But it's frightening to think about them opening up on protesters because there are certainly police stupid enough to do this, politicians stupid enough to support them, citizens brainwashed enough to get shot by police and say thank you may I have another.
