I was not even trying to downplay the crew member's act, merely that my post was open to misinterpretation that I was trying to downplay it and therefore changed the word. I have not even changed my view. I still think that tugging on a jacket is no more violent than a tap on the shoulder if it was not a hard pull but just a gentle tug to get his attention, and judging from the OP's post, it is my suspicion that it was a gentle tug rather than a hard pull. Rudeness does not equal criminal act or act of violence.
Now where is someone qualified in criminal law when we need one? It's pretty futile arguing about the legality of tugging someone's jacket to get someone's attention between presumably those who are not qualified in criminal law?
