re: #107 BigPapa
Apparently so. As that screencap from MSNBC revealed, Martin was found on a grassy area. The incident may have started in a concrete area (sidewalk/driveway or street), but it clearly ended up on a lawn.
And I find the whole notion that the sidewalk as a deadly weapon to be complete nonsense. That’s like saying that any inanimate object is a deadly weapon. Push someone up against a tree? Deadly weapon. Against a wall? Deadly weapon. A push into the pool? Deadly weapon.
It is most certainly not a deadly weapon.
