Sandwich Thrower Becomes Early Symbol Of Trump’s D.C. ‘Crime Emergency’
HuffPost
Both the White House and local activists have highlighted the Subway sub slinger amid Trumps’ police takeover.
WASHINGTON ― As a dozen U.S. Marshals patrolled the busy U Street corridor on Friday night, they faced angry D.C. residents who felt they had no need to be there.
When a HuffPost reporter asked one of the agents if he worried for his safety – that is, if he feared someone might launch a Subway sandwich at him ― he flashed a smile.
“Only if it’s a footlong,” the officer said.
Everyone’s talking about the “assault with a deli weapon,” the “hurl of sandwich” — the felony with a footlong that occurred on Aug. 10 after federal law enforcement officers descended on the city.
As if by mutual agreement between the White House and its haters, the sandwich attack has become a symbol of President Donald Trump’s militarized takeover of D.C.’s police.
