The court in U.S. v. Santos, 363 F.3d 19 C.A.1 (Mass.), (2004) stated, “Defendant’s prior conviction for assault and battery on a police officer, in violation of Massachusetts statute, was a “crime of violence,” and thus qualified as predicate offense, under career offender sentencing guideline, regardless of statutory definition that allowed a non-violent means of commission, since any assault on police officer necessarily involved a serious potential risk of physical injury and violence.”
