A cop stopped and called and ambulance and a Mdeic was there within a minute.
This whole thing couldn't have been more than two minutes long.
It looked like he was barely pushed.
Then you did not WATCH the video. You read the captions and assumed you saw what was in the video.
Go back. Watch the old guy’s right hand. Watch the push. What happened to cause the officer to react?
That is how you watch this stuff. If you don’t agree, that’s cool. I won’t call you names. But I think there are a lot of videos out that we are not watching closely.
He had apparently been going up to cops or others and tapping them on the arm or someplace (such as the midriff) with his cell phone...nobody quite knows why. That said, he definitely did seem to be going for the cop’s belt, which is not good.
He was shoved way too hard, which was probably not intentional. But the thing that was intentional and is really bad is that the cop who shoved him wouldn’t let anybody else stop to help him even though he was obviously badly injured.
Once again, one bad cop drags everybody else down.
The cops had a line of force to maintain and couldn’t stop. The follow-up guys in camo knelt by the old man’s side within SECONDS. Another protestor came thru the “maintained” line within SECONDS...and had to be subdued. If the cops had stopped and bent over the old man, the second protestor would’ve been on their backs. That old guy was a threat and had to be pushed back. Not only was he making movements toward the cops with his right hand, he had a helmet in his left hand he could’ve swung at them.
I enjoy it. He was hoping to created a little chaos for the cameras. He knew better than to approach marching riot police. The protesting is killing innocent people and ruining lives. Maybe next time he won't be so eager to participate.
