That first paragraph, do you have a source for that?
I tried to find proof and all I could find was that the grand jury that was hearing it as a felony refused to indict, so the prosecutors went with a misdemeanor that doesn’t require a grand jury indictment.
There were a few OTHER instances of grand juries refusing to indict other people accused on assaulting federal officers, but those were unrelated to the incident in question.
I’m not even sure it’s legal (…not that legality matters to this regime, I know) to shop grand juries … like that first paragraph implied, is it?


I’m seeing it quite a lot on mastodon where maintainers from big projects, like even curl, are expressing their grief and annoyance with ai generated bug reports wasting their time and overwhelming them. I don’t think it’s an isolated incident.
