Maybe, but as a prior LEO I never felt threatened by a 70+ year old person unless they had a weapon in hand. I would find it very embarrassing and emasculating that I could not handle that type of subject as a viral young man.
Cops have bad days too. Also, this might not have been the FIRST time this geezer had words with the cop.
I lived in Mexico for two years and Saudi Arabia for five. OUR U.S. cops are SO much better, smarter, more honest, more educated, more decent and more reliable that 99% of ALL the cops in second (Commmie) and third world countries.
We Americans just DON'T know how LOW standards are for police in those countries and how HIGH our standards are.
I've SUGGESTED to those U.S. cop-haters that they go LIVE in a second or third world country for a month, week or day and just SEE the differences.
They WON'T do it, of course, since it's FAR easier to just sit HERE in the U.S.A. and gripe about cops, condemning the entire force of the thin blue line.

You imply that you cannot be knocked over easily in the midst of a physical confrontation. Especially by an older man. Yet if you watch the video, you see it happen. It isn't that hard to do, especially if the younger 'officer' doesn't expect it coming from a 70+ year old man. It appears that the old man shoved backwards at the right time and caught the officer off balance.
