i understand the police are on edge- if you look the old dude was returning a police helmet to them.
Watch him. Does it appear that he was making an effort to hold out a helmet to them? He had the helmet at his side. No effort was made to “offer” it. Is that how you would return something?
And that’s a “scooter” helmet, not a cop helmet.
This guy is an old hippie showing the youngster’s “how it’s done.”
Don’t play if you can’t stand the elbows.
