You wrote in your post 55:

He was obstructing the policeman engaged in the lawful duty he was being paid to do. That old fart is fortunate he wasn’t cuffed and hauled to the slammer!

My point was simply that we don't know what was going on with the old man. We need to at least know the words that were exchanged, and the testimony of those who were present and witnessed the entire engagement - of which we may only have a very small segment. I'm not on the side of either party, in this. I just like to know everything, before I start throwing around epithets like 'old fart', or deciding what 'should have been done'.

That’s all well and good, but everyone who watched the video already knows the essential facts, which are that the elderly gentleman made the mistake of impeding a law officer carrying out his assigned duties, got knocked down for doing so, and injured his head when he fell.
