Hopefully the police officer who arrived to arrest him tased him 1st in order to avoid being coughed on as well. Feet should be shackled to hands, behind his back, then Gorilla Tape a good mask onto him
I had a police officer tell me once that if someone had a cup of urine and threatened to throw it on you while claiming to have AIDS, it would be a justifiable self defense shooting if you had a gun. I don't see how someone coughing on someone while claiming to have the virus would be any different.
It's happening more than a person would like/think. There was a story a couple days ago where someone out east coughed/spat on $35k worth of food in a grocery store. Yep, it all got thrown out.
Flash back to boot camp, standing in formation during evaluation for graduation. kid behind me sneezes and what feels like a water balloon, hits me in the back of the neck. so f'n gross.
