Female protestor who kissed riot policeman's helmet charged with sexual assault

That is certainly gross - and she should probably have some punishment levied against her.

For what it’s worth I still don’t see how that’s sexual assault though - although at this point I appreciate that may be splitting hairs.

I also still feel like we must be missing a lot of context here. I’ve never met a police officer that would let my fingers get anywhere near his mouth. Why didn’t he stop her? An important aspect here you need to consider is that he was in the position of power and should have had full control of over the situation - I don’t gather that he was ambushed by a random passerby.

But please keep in mind that I’m not saying that she’s done nothing wrong here - just that a charge of sexual assault is ludicrous, given the situation as much as the events in question.

Welcome aboard by the way! I hope that your b_s account serves more than one thread.
