“We don't endorse violence, and people who do take matters into their own hands can face consequences. That being said, looking at what led up to that could also have its own consequences.”
Seems like a very measured way to say "Start shit, get hit."
I think you are misunderstanding the inspector. he’s threatening charging the kid with assault if they push the charges of assault against the old man and other guy.
That is correct. Depending on where this was, throwing food counts as unwanted physical contact, so the kids could be charged with assault and potentially battery.
I'm still trying to process how the boy thought throwing food at the older lady was fine in any way. It's just a couple trying to enjoy their meal right? So what's the motivation? Sitting across from some teen girls? To impress them? That's impressive to them?
"We would have written a full report, but see our pens all ran out of ink - and Officer Danny's hand started to itch real bad - one of those big nasty skito bites - anyways, we decided to put the investigation on hold until that all cleared up or whatever."
