Los Angeles police released a statement saying Chris Rock did not want to press charges against Will Smith.
>Rock, a well-known and respected comedian, took the stage at the 2022 Oscars to announce the winner of an award. But, like all comedians, he made a few jokes, including one targeting Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. Smith initially laughed as Pinkett-Smith looked not too pleased at the jab. Moments later, Smith walked on stage and smacked Rock, then yelled profanities as the comedian tried to say it was just a joke.
>The moment left the room stunned and set social media ablaze. Many comments were about arresting Smith. Some commenters noted that if that happened on a street corner or with lesser-known people, Smith would already be in cuffs.
>That is where the LAPD statement comes in, the agency stated that Rock declined to press charges and seemingly washed its hands of the incident. But Rock isn’t needed if the police are so inclined. It’s a TV trope that police can’t press charges without the victim’s consent. That’s not true at all. The police can choose to press charges — what often holds up the process is the fact it can be difficult to win a case without a victim.
>That is why you often see it with domestic violence cases. It’s hard to convict an abuser if the victim doesn’t describe the abuse.
>It’s also how pretty much every murder case happens. The victim can’t press charges, so the people or state does it. That is why criminal cases are referred to as “State of” or “People” vs. Criminal cases are not listed as “Rock vs. Smith.” In this case, Rock is not needed. We all saw it. It was filmed in stunning 4K. It’s been splashed over the internet.
>Smith slapped Rock. Now, it can be up to the police and prosecutors to decide whether or not it’s worth it to press charges. But they don’t need Rock to do so. The evidence they need was splashed before our eyes.
White privilege at its finest. If a white man had done that, he would just get a slap in the wrist. But since Will is a successful Black man, he is going to get charged. Fucking white pigs.

there's no such thing as "pressing charges" the correct term would be pursuing charges the state can prosecute anyone they want with or without victims or witnesses, it just makes it easy for them if the victim shows up in court. in this case theres millions of witnesses because everyone has seen this video by now
