KBOX AM RADIO reported the death of a Dallas patrolman as well as a Secret Service man at 1:52 PM CST...

Thanks for the helpful reference to Canadian law. But in the Texas Penal Code, there is no “battery”. It’s all assault.

Cool. But note that I underlined 'swinging at someone and missing is an assault'
If I was addressing 'battery' I would included that the underline.

You seemed to be dismissing Oswald's swing as being non-actionable, since he missed..

Cool. Your citation of Canadian law would be helpful if the Texas Theater had been in Canada.

Meanwhile, groping somebody’s hips is also assault — even if you’re a cop.

No, it’s non-actionable because it’s self-defense.

I once worked with an ex-cop.....He enjoyed talking about his days as a cop.    One of the things he told me was; that they would sometimes grab and squeeze a suspect's testicles while going through the suspects pockets.    He said that would make the suspect much more cooperative....

OMG!.... They must have brought Tippit back to life so he could be shot by the arch villain Lee Harrrrrvey Osssssswald in the theater.

>>> 'Groping' is a term more applicable to Trump. And you're the one reaching here...

No, it’s non-actionable because it’s self-defense.
>>> Resisting arrest is actionable.
