Penalty for assault on police officer?

Question

My friend was at school just hanging out and one of the police officers at the school (who likes to tease the students) started talking to him. At first it was just playing like he usually does, like telling him to pull up his pants, cause his boxers are blue and he used the same ones yesterday, stuff like that, nothing unusuall but then it started getting serious.y friend did it and the police officer decides to stick around and start messing with him telling him is stuff like u think ur a tough guy, making jokes and stuff, emberassing him, and my friend tells him to stop, and to leave him alone, cause he dont want no trouble and he already puilled his pants up but the officer keeps on going. Then he starts poking him on the chest, and stuff and my friend tells him that hes not playing around that he seriously feels disrespected and he needs to stop. So the police officer starts pushing him telling him "o so u think u tough, gangster" and stuff like that and my friend starts swinging at him, and he can obviously fight better than the overweight police officer, and knocks him out. There were teachers there as witnesses but the didn't get in the middle. Would he be guilty or what could he do

Answer 1

Wow this question is a load of c**p.  If anyone assaulted an officer like you just described, then the teachers would have called 911 and a load of officers would have arrived for the suspect, or failing that, the officer would have woken up and a load of officers would have arrived for the supect.  Either way, that person would be in the ADC or JDC.

This question is just a lame attempt to insult the police.  Good thing the bad grammer and lack of correct punctation and spelling made it funny.  

Answer 2

The whole legal system sticks together. When you assault an officer, you assault the entire legal system. Your friend needs a good lawyer and soon, because this is really serious stuff. Likely he will go to juvie until they have to release him at 18 or 21.

Answer 3

teacher friend witness get them all you will not win your friend is in more trouble then you know YOU NEVER TOUCH A OFFICE that will follow him when he gets pulled over every time they will see that in jail they will she that he is going to jail and just say bye now the cop was wrong but it does not matter he is going down by the ****** up system

Answer 4

TO BAD IT WASN'T CAUGHT ON CAMERA YOUR FRIEND WOULD HAVE A GOOD CASE AGAINST THE COP. IF IT WENT DOWN LIKE YOU SAID. BUT USUALLY IT WOULD BE A GOOD BEAT DOWN BY THE OTHER COPS RESPONDING AND SOME JAIL TIME.

Answer 5

if this really did happen (which it sounds far-fetched to me) and the student was 18 or close to it, it would be a felony. The student would have been arrested right then and there. Lucky the cop didnt use more force against the student (which in a case of assault against an officer, deadly force can be used).
