In watching the video, mayor says he’s not gonna hit anybody. Video sure showed us something else. Is the mayor intentionally lying, or is he genuinely that out of touch with his own actions?
I think he said “get”, because he was yelling “I’m gonna get you” as he was being dragged away. AKA making death threats, which is a felony. He is trying to create plausible deniability for the death threats by jumping in front of a news camera, before any charges get filed.

Calling that a death threat is a stretch that would not hold up in court in my jurisdiction. It lacks specificity
I think the victim is correct that it qualifies as simple assault
Why would a republican mayor ever intentionally lie?
