Well SloJoe is two years older and would deserve all of that.
“Antifa was waiting for the spark, and the Minneapolis police supplied it.”
***************************************************
Ahhh....CORRECTION: One Minneapolis cop supplied it.
You really swallowed the media propaganda. Gulp! Gulp!
I’d guess that the 75-year-old actor is a former commie Yippie* who got paid for the performance by the Nazi Soros.
*Yippie - a member of a radical antiestablishment group founded in the US in 1967 and favoring theatrical gestures and stunts.
Spare us your bawling bullshit about how this commie is seriously injured. If the old commie fool dies, the leftists killed him in the hospital.
“Yes, the old guy was an idiot for getting in the way.”
And yes, as a long time “protestor” ...or whatever the hell he is...he needed his brain pan cracked.
He stumbled more than was pushed down.
Nothing overtly malicious.
I don’t have much sympathy for the commie geezer (apologies to any geezers here), but if you line up 100 random 75 year old men and give each a good shove backward like this case, more than half will fall backward, just as this guy did. A cop should be smart enough to know this. We can’t just dismiss such actions any more than we can dismiss the officer who killed Floyd. Save this stuff for the rioters and looters. You really want a police force that acts like this? Will you be OK with it when it’s a 75 year old 2A protester?
The mayor or DA of Buffalo just gave ANTIFA the green light to steal, kill, and destroy.
You Buffalo FReepers are on your own.
I was very disappointed to read they just resigned from those positions. They are still emploeed by the pd.

I watched it normal speed and it did not look like the cop pushed him very hard, but then I saw it in slomo and saw that it was the other cop who pushed him super hard with both arms using his baton.
Totally uncalled for. If they had all just walked around him he would have been left all by himself looking stupid in the middle of a sidewalk.
No other officers resigned, they just said they were no longer going to be part of the “emergency response team”
honestly I did not see the emergency either
“...What the hell did he think would happen? ...”
He knew EXACTLY what would happen. He did it to have his “police Brutality Photo Op”.
Like that commie indian assh*le that got in the Covington kids’ faces as soon as a camera was on him.
It’s staged, and the bastard took one for Team Commie.
Clearly staged, if you ask me.
Know your audience. At 1st from a distance he looked like a Billy Idol wannabee w/ the Hair. Until he stumbled or was pushed, those are not the reactions of someone much younger, he had the balance of someone older, I saw it in my Dad as he declined. With that said couldn’t the young Cop read this guy, aka he’s old and probably not jacked up on something, or was he too full of adrenaline. Granted I can’t hear what he said to the officer, my guess was it was taunting and the way he invaded the officers space with his hands, not a good move either. Sadly these recruits are going to need the wisdom of Job going forward combined with Bruce Lee’s reflexes dealing w/ camera phones, public sentiment, & people who have boundary issues.
Apples and Oranges. The idiot moved in a cop. A simple shove to chest for the cop to defend himself was the fault of the stupid old idiot. To bad.
Of course. He should have been shot.
It wouldn’t have worked if he had his helmet on
Your first sentence is biased and misleading. Apparently based on the police union spokesman quoted here:
“Fifty-seven resigned in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders,” Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans told WGRZ on Friday. WKBW also reported news of the resignations.
Fact: They resigned from the Emergency Response Team (ERT), not from the Police.
Supposition: They resigned in support of their fellow ERT members, as suggested by the Police Union.
Suggestion: If I were a member of this team, I would have resigned because I opposed the strong-arm tactics employed by this team against this legal and constitutionally protected protest.
I saw NO evidence of terrorist threat of violence in this instance.
HE approached the police officers and starting doing something to them physically.
I don’t see that they really pushed him that hard, but at that age, it’s easy to lose your balance, even thought it did look a bit theatrical.
There was no excuse, however, for them not helping. The one did stop and try and was pushed on by his fellow officer. I don’t have a clue as to whether the one was the other’s superior. That could explain why he complied.
It’s very interesting, though, that so many resigned.
I guess the dems are getting their wish of eliminating police departments.
The black market on guns is going to be really hot when that happens.
The old guy could have been told to go the other way. It was not necessary to knock him down and then push away a cop who stopped to check on him.
