Sean Charles Dunn faces felony charges for allegedly assaulting a federal officer with a Subway sandwich, sparking widespread media interest. Initially arrested without charges, the federal government subsequently pursued felony charges, resulting in Dunn's job loss at the Justice Department. The government's heavy-handed tactics included a significant police presence for Dunn's arrest, drawing criticism for their excessive nature. Dunn's lawyer indicated attempts were made to arrange a voluntary surrender prior to the forceful response. The incident is perceived as highlighting governmental hypocrisy regarding the administration's stated goals of reducing wasteful spending.
The administration is trying to counter the viral sensation that was Dunn's initial "attack" with a bizarre - and dystopian - video of their own documenting Dunn's arrest.
You need riot gear and 74 troops (sorry, 20) to arrest a guy whose weapon of choice is a Subway sandwich? That's not a display of strength - it's pathetic chest puffery.
This incident lays bare the hypocrisy of all the early (and empty) rhetoric from the start of the Trump II reign about cutting government waste.
Dunn's lawyer Sabrina Shroff says they were trying to negotiate his voluntary surrender when the government orchestrated this spectacle.
