Was it a real fall or one of those soccer game Shakespearian actor falls?

The inset picture (lower right) is from before his head hit the ground, so obviously there is no blood on the back of his head at that point. As for the tube, I didn't see one in the video.

Since police are not allowed to do any police work anymore. Maybe cops can donate some of their ammo that they won’t be needing to us 2nd amendment people?

Judging from that video, it was not a trip or a push but a complete act.

but a complete act.

He went for the officer's belt with something in his hand. It was more of a brush off and grampa vlad does a stutter step backwards and takes a dive.

Mission accomplished. And look at all the dopes (here) who fell for this.

“75 should be old enough to know that if you go to a riot, you just might get hurt.”

Yes, he was a dumbass and now this is plastered all over the world making our cops look like idiots.

I thought he went down awful easily, like those people on picket lines who topple from the force of a moving vehicle striking them at 1 mph ...

create the narrative, that’s what protest is all about.

And we have a whole generation of suckers waiting to lap it all up. In Vancouver, reporter remarked that “everyone at this demonstration is under 25.” Well there’s a reason for that. People older than 25 start to accumulate real world experience. Unless you’re some idiot reporter, you probably know things that would deter you from wasting your time feeding these fantasy gatherings.

“I never did nothin’ wrong” is the operating theme. Everyone has a story, doesn’t mean we have to accept it.

When he fell back, amazingly, he was laid out straight as an arrow with arms straight down at his sides with crossed ankles.

Oh, it makes me wonder.....

First of all that guy really tripped, it was a light push and I’m sorry but he was ordered to clear the area and he refused. He is not a victim.

Wow. Real time it didn’t look bad.

Still - When seeing a wall of Cops coming in Riot gear - Yield and move.

Yep - this really was what i would term “a tragic accident”...the shove wasn’t that hard and was center of mass to move the guy out of the officer’s face...the guy tripped over his own feet on the way back.

The “75 year old” was a big guy, much taller the the policeman he approached. The push was one handed and did not look very hard, the man seemed to stumble back several steps fall back first and start bleeding from the ear. Maybe he hit his head.

There is no way the officer intended harm, let alone serious harm in that push. It was simply, get out of the way. It went bad for protester.

What did the officer see? A tall belligerent man walks up on two policemen in riot gear. He is significantly taller than those policemen. He certainly did not look frail. He looked fit. The video is linked above.

I expect attacks on American interests worldwide on a massive scale. I expect an invasion of Hong-Kong or other Chinese areas of potential conquest.
Make no mistake these internal attacks will be mirrored by external attacks probably scheduled to occur just before the election which is fast approaching.
I would expect some kind of Middle Eastern blow up some kind of Pacific Rim blow up some kind of South American confrontation and all will be blamed on trump.
In the meanwhile stateside democrats will continue to raise other fearful issues and destroy economies whereever they can.
They won’t go out with a whimper.
This level of desperation means they know they’re gonna lose the election And the result will be the violent death of the Democrat Party.
Curfews in the cities with National Guard and military patrols on the streets appear very much like martial law.
You will probably see some of that in major blue States cities before the election and definitely after.
Inner city minorities have doubled down on backing the wrong horse the anti-American hate whitey Democrat party which is run by none other than white Democrat Plantation owners.

What the inner city blacks the foreign interlopers and the LGBT Whack jobs and racial minorities do when their horse loses?

Wont be pretty.

You bring up some very interesting points! I do not see any upside for the Commies, here and abroad, is things go hot in the Middle East or in the Pacific. The Media Maggots will work overtime trying to spin, but as usual, they will fail.

Yeah, it’s going to get nasty. Stand ready and be prepared!

My parents taught me that you do not shove old people when you have a choice. The problem here is police training. Police are trained to believe that a fingernail is more important than the life of a civilian. Do not try to tell me different, been there done that.

The guy deserved to be shoved to the ground. He was an idiot and should not have been doing what he was doing.
