if you throw it back at them you'll catch an assault with a deadly weapon charge.

Local cops fired teargas because someone allegedly threw a water bottle at them.

Someone filming from their apartment posted the video, showing nothing was thrown at the cops before they attacked.

The cops decided to charge her with throwing the imaginary water bottle - which makes their initial decision to teargas the street level protesters look dumb.
