Don't I hear that [ __ ] That's some real [ __ ] You just heard what he said. Okay. What he said. No. No. >> He was charged with domestic battery and two counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer with injuries. Domestic battery is a class A misdemeanor on its own, but those resisting charges can become a felony if officers documented injuries from that struggle. We have no way of knowing whether that happened. We could not find a court record and we do not know how this case ended. Was that one gesture enough to justify the arrest or does everything else he said change how you see it? Drop your thoughts below.
