He is Officer Travis Brown, and he's in the hospital fighting for his life:

Two new graphic videos were released showing the moment a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer was violently knocked over by a suspect during a Michael Brown protest on Friday – an incident that has left the officer in critical condition.
The protest came just 10 days before the start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and among those arrested Friday was Keith Rose, a St. Louis alternate delegate to the DNC and a member of the City of St. Louis’ Civilian Oversight Board which reviews allegations of police misconduct, Fox 2 reports. Rose has since withdrawn as an alternate DNC delegate.
“Keith Rose has decided to voluntarily withdraw as an uncommitted alternate delegate to the DNC,” the Missouri Democratic Party said in a statement.
The new videos, taken from two different angles, show Ferguson Police Officer Travis Brown apparently being hit by 28-year-old suspect Elijah Gantt on a sidewalk outside a police station after protesters attempted to pull down a perimeter fence. Police say Brown is “fighting for his life” after being critically injured in an assault during protests on the 10th anniversary of the fatal shooting of Michael Brown.
The newly released video, taken from CCTV and another police officer’s bodycam, was played at a news conference Tuesday and shows the suspect had a running start when he ran down the officer, whose head violently struck the pavement.
Officer Brown was unconscious and prone on his back with the suspect lying on his chest as other officers quickly arrived and jumped on the suspect.

Horrible
No, that’s the guy who stabbed the cop. The delegate is a gay looking white guy who kicked down the gate, leading to the event. They arrested several.
Attacked not stabbed. Autocorrect. Several were arrested when they tore down the fence. That guy is the one who beat the cop. The delegate is some white guy in his mid 30s, member of the police oversight board also. He was leading the effort to tear down the gate.
They need to start shooting these protesters. The cop looks like a great guy. Family man with twin daughters. Joined the department after the Michael Brown protests and they recruited black officers.
America needs a new Kent State. Their stupid protest game is having too little of consequences.
Feral animals protesting a fake news story about Michael Brown.
They should be shot on site just for being that stupid.
.......the black guy pictured attacked the cop. The DNC
delegate is a gay looking white guy who kicked down the gate......
St. Louis activist & DNC delegate charged in Ferguson protest
Get this bit...
...For much of the past decade, Keith Rose of St. Louis has been a leading activist for police reform and election integrity...
Bold is mine.
Betcha the election integrity angle needs some scrutiny.
We are an intellectually lazy nation with way too many citizens willing to believe anything that comes out of pop culture (including the news media). If Einstein were alive and wrote something scientifically profound in a non-mainstream publication the public would not give it any credit and would instead preferentially believe what was said by a transgender high school science teacher who was on CNN. AND, they would think of themselves as smarter and better informed.
BTTT
Out on no bail yet?
If Gentle Giant had succeeded that cop would have surely been killed.
If the population targets FEDERAL buildings spread throughout the landscape it could be a good thing. Especially office buildings. Might even clear a few illegal alien encampments at the same time.
Really? He doesn’t look like he could beat up a drum.
He is Officer Travis Brown, and he's in the hospital fighting for his life:
no its not it a white guy who charges the black cop
Besides, alternate delegates are illegal, as Trump’s found out.
I stand corrected. It is this black dude that deserves the punishment.
The articles shows a white guy, but says this person hurt the cop:
“…28-year-old suspect Elijah Gantt.”
Liz is right.
