#8  Having done both track & field and martial arts, that was definitely an overhand strike, IMAO.

The fractured skull/concussion sounds like media distortion BS, given the hollow aluminum baton.

Curious that perp girl is leaking tears from only one eye. Maybe she suffers from blocked tear ducts as well as poor impulse control. Or maybe she picked up a menthol tear stick on Amazon.

#7  Relay batons are lightweight hollow tubes made of aluminum or plastic.

Injuring someone would require intentional force.

#6  The tear-filled acting is pure theater for juries.
