Just curious how felony assault is not a physical violence offense. I understand there could be differences in state laws, but most felony assault charges require use of force wither resulting in an injury or involving a weapon.

It may depend on jurisdiction, but often assault is a threat, assault and battery is violence.

I get that. However, to reach felony status it usually has to involve a weapon, or protected class of person even if battery is considered separate. That's why I was curious.
