"Arrested" is not "prosecuted". But no doubt he'd be in a world of hurt.

I think the "prosecuted" part is inferred, he gets "arrested" and later "prosecuted"

NYPD had about 36,000 officers and I'm sure more than just pistols. I think they can manage.

Thanks for the link. Most of the memo details reasons the executive is not immune,

So, if he's not prosecuted and convicted... He can just do the same thing the next day?

I wonder if the Secret Service would use deadly force to protect their orange hitler against NYPD?

He's really all about inciting his dumb and aggressive followers to do it for him.
