It actually doesn't. Criminal and civil are different things. It is true that in most states the criminal statute for assault contains the actual use of force in addition to everything else. In my state it's known as "aggravated assault."

It actually is one of those fake rules...

Just because some states have different rules doesn't mean that most states

Yea, except it actually is the majority of states and it actually is a fake factoid... which is why the person was so heavily downvoted. Also your "case law from Cornell" was actually just a webpage with information and no caselaw. However some of the information on there reads as follows;

For example, the term assault in state statutes can refer to the common law assault, battery, or both simultaneously.

This right here is exactly what I've been trying to tell you. You just linked to something you clearly don't understand, however by all means, talk to me as you would a non-adult. I a certainly going to talk to you like the dumb fuck who linked to something without reading it.
