I get just as angry seeing the elderly abused and mistreated as I do children. Respecting our elders needs a revival.

The jerk who was yelling at the old man kept saying “I am the police!”

Makes me wonder if he was telling the truth. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least to find out that the LAPD has a foul-mouthed, bullying racist on staff.

I’m with you — IMO it’s the elderly and animals who get the worst abuse and the least help from the “system”.

The incident happened around 8 p.m. Wednesday near Wilshire Avenue and Vermont Boulevard.

The writer probably means Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue.

And they wonder why most white people refuse to ride public transportation in the cities.

OK, before I even watch this let me guess: The instigator is asian.

Hit play....

Oh my, h-h-he’s not asian.

Well *this* is a surprise.

Looking at this objectively, I think the older man was making things worse by continuing to goad the angry man.

If someone is obviously enraged at you, it is not the time to keep insisting that you are right, or try to keep the argument going by throwing fuel on the fire. But some people just cannot resist, and demand to have the last word.

If that loud mouthed punk had tried that while I was on the bus he would have been beaten within an inch of his life. Then I would have had him arrested.

You can’t be nice to these kind of people. You can’t talk to them like they are regular human beings. They are like animals. The only thing they understand is getting in their face and letting them know if they act up there will be consequences.

By the way I would never let my wife, children or an elderly relative ride a city bus. They are too violent.

"I AM DA' PO-LEESE!"

No. You're not. And, posing as a cop like that will get you up to five years in jail.

Don’t let the white beard fool you. The older guy is probably in his 50’s and looks like he is in good shape. He got in some good punches in the punk’s face. The punk was bleeding in the mouth and the old guy got off the bus unscathed.

The man said, “don’t underestimate a black man”.

This is the simmering pot Barry is trying his hardest to boil over.

When It’s crowded I rush to grab a seat so I can offer it to an elderly person.

SOB. He’d get alot more from me, too.

Of course, if the old white man said that stupid anti-holy word just once while being abused, HE’D be all over the news as some evil racist and probably lynched by now.

People are pathetic - NO ONE does a damn thing. Sick.

can anyone make out the insignia on the black man’s hat.

Looks like he was extending his TWO MINUTES OF HATE.
