Reply to comment by NetQuarterLatte in Pols target NYC’s violent, repeat shoplifters with bill to protect retailer workers just like cops, firefighters by NYY657545

Copying my response to your other reply:

>While they are not labeled "assault", there are various different offenses that fall under that same article you listed that don't require injury.

>Arguing that it isn't assault because the offense isn't named "___ assault" in NY is pedantic.

I'll copy my reply here too:

It's not pedantic.

It's actually quite relevant to this news, because they are proposing changes to assault when committed against retail works.

They are not proposing changes to offenses that are not assault under NY Law.
