It was NOT a karate chop-—her arm came up and his hand bumped into her arm.
..
no he clearly chops downward with his arm
I wouldn’t call it any “karate” chop ofc but he definitely moves his arm forcibly against hers to limit her movement as she tries to reach for the microphone.
She went for the mic and he used his left arm to block her by “karate chopping” down on her left arm.
She was doing her job, reaching for the mic to move it to the next person. He was the aggressor.

You're watching a different video than everyone else. His arm came down onto her arm, his wrist came down onto her arm. Period. To be fair to him, on full videos he even said "Sorry!" right after to her because he knew what he did to her. But he caused it, and his arm came down on her.
Watch the video carefully in slow motion. When she grabs the mic that he is holding, her arm is motionless - that means her arm was not moving upwards. THEN his left hand comes down karate-chop style. Repeating - his left arm CAME DOWN while her arm was MOTIONLESS! What is wrong with your vision?
There are other slo-mo vids on other threads that ABSOLUTELY show his wrist coming down on hers to block her taking the mic
My look shows it was not incidental contact by acosta, he deliberately knocked her arm.
Nope; watch the loop below.
Her arm did NOT come up.
Her hand grabbed the mike and his wrist came DOWN; pushing her elbow down.
