I'm not a big fan of deception. Despite past SCOTUS ruling, most famously in the ABSCAM case, that entrapment was moot, doesn't a sting risk provocation? Would behavior have been different without the sting?

He is a retired PA state trooper, and would do so as an overtime opportunity during his career.

To those who think it’s entrapment or some other nonsense, just remember that anyone who would assault a football fan because what team he cheers for is a violent moron, and deserves every applicable punishment.

To claim entrapment, a defendant must generally prove by a preponderance of the evidence that a law enforcement agent induced them to commit a crime they were not otherwise predisposed to commit. Key requirements include: (1) government inducement involving persuasion, coercion, or extraordinary means, not just opportunity; (2) the defendant's lack of predisposition, meaning they had no prior intent or readiness to commit the crime; and (3) the defendant had the burden of proof to establish these elements.

as I attend most Seahawks games. I don't yell at fans, but I've been close to unruly ones.
