If you know anything about the corrupt legal system, then you know that the corrupt prosecutors have absolutely no problem getting convictions on a simple assault - if you are a nobody - right?
If a crime has been committed; if the defendant has committed it; if you can prove it you should not decline to file it because the proof is less than ideal or because there is a prospect of acquittal due to jury apathy. Nobody likes to lose, but fear of losing should not deter you from filing charges. George R. Dekle, Sr, Prosecution Principles: A Clinical Handbook (Thompson/West: 2007), Page 50.

If you are someone important, then the prosecutor just finds it simply "impossible" to find the evidence, the intent or that willing jury who will convict a cop, right? Kind of like the lame "the dog ate my homework" excuse, right? You'd have to be pretty stupid to believe that tired, worn out excuse, wouldn't you?
And you should get real suspicious of prostituting attorneys who only bring one charge, shouldn't you?
What charges should you file? Because almost any criminal transaction will offend against a spectrum of laws,125 you will therefore have a number of charges to chose from. The NDAA Standards prescribe that the prosecutor should file only those charges which adequately encompass the defendant's offense and are consistent with the interests of justice.126 George R. Dekle, Sr, Prosecution Principles: A Clinical Handbook (Thompson/West: 2007), Page 51.
If Itasca Deputy Roy Edward Procopio, Jr assaulted Ray Howard Knaeble, then at minimum Procopio charge options should have been: Assault - 5th Degree – Fear of Bodily Harm or Death & Misconduct of Public Officer or Employee, right?
But, that wasn't the case in this instance, was it? The only option was: Assault - 5th Degree, wasn't it?
609.43 MISCONDUCT OF PUBLIC OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE.
A public officer or employee who does
any of the following, for which no other sentence is specifically
provided by law, may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than
one year or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both:
(3) under pretense or color of official
authority intentionally and unlawfully injures another in the other's
person, property, or rights; or
Ryan didn't want Knaeble to know that there was more than one option, did he? That is the lawyer's trick, isn't it? The lawyers never want to tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, do they?
It is easier for them to rig the game and pervert justice if they can keep you in the dark, isn't it?
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and
plead the cause of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9
