[extropy-chat] Police Officer Dies After Brawl With Biotech Protesters

[Mike Lorrey]

On the contrary, resisting arrest and/or assaulting a police officer is
a felony. Any death that occurs during the commission of that felony is
to be prosecuted as felony murder. It doesn't matter if he died of a
heart attack in the scuffle, it was the stress of the assault that
caused it the demonstrators are murderers. It's on the books.
