A veteran FBI agent who was caught on camera shoving a 15-year-old boy to the ground and threatening the teen with his gun has been found guilty of assault.
Gerald John Rogero, 45, was off-duty last December when he meddled into a Maryland family's dispute over a child custody drop-off.
The agent, who knew one of the family members involved, was rebuking a man for being late to drop off his child when a teenager confronted him for intruding.
Rogero forcibly pushes the teen in the chest, sending him flying backwards, according to video repeatedly shown to jurors on Tuesday.
The two then grapple before Rogero whips out his service weapon and orders the teen to lie on the ground.
"If I have to shoot you, I will. Don't make me shoot you," the beefy agent says. "Get on the ground."
So he decides to use his official "capacity" to intervene in a non-violent family matter that did not involve him at all, then claim a 15 year old kid "assaulted" him when he came within 3 feet and told him to go away?
The important thing here is that this heroic FBI agent went home safe (and his pension and bennies that we pay for are also safe).
