Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Federal Agents Boo-Boos Lead to Felony Charges: A Case of Misguided Justice - A federal agents minor injuries during a protest led to felony assault charges against Sidney Lori Reid. Despite three grand jury rejections, prosecutors pursued a misdemeanor case. Body camera footage revealed Reid didnt intentionally harm the agent, who had scratched herself while assisting another agent. Reid was acquitted, expressing disappointment in the justice system. The Justice Departments aggressive prosecution of protest-related assaults has resulted in many charges being reduced or dismissed, with all defendants who went to trial being acquitted. This suggests an attempt to deter future protests rather than pursue genuine criminal cases.
