If I was pushed like that, I would have just been that...pushed. But the old man was pushed then tripped and fell.
it's true that cops should be taking the temperature of the room, but all the responsibility seems to be on them and only them to do that. the people in the streets need to take the temperature of a line of marching cops too.
this past week has all been about zero personal accountability. it's annoying.
right after the shove, there's an out of control protester doing the "peaceful act" to get a confrontation and a reaction out of the cops. he's trying get arrested and make a scene. you can't just expect the cops to know who's looking to start shite and who's not.

What a bunch of nonsense. Isn't their whole mantra "to protect and serve"? Aren't we supposed to hold them in high regard? Why is this in any way excusable to you? You think we should put the onus on every day people like this old man to just expect a cop to be a complete fricking dick and avoid interacting with them in any way? What a pathetically low standard you're setting for these people ostensibly charged with protecting and serving the public on our dime.

An "elderly" old man? That looked like a motorcycle helmet. An elderly old man can still shoot a gun, throw a molotov cocktail, throw a brick, etc.
The elderly old man still walked into a police riot line looking to be a pain the arse.
If the elderly old man was standing still and the police walked up to him, I'd have an issue. The elderly old man walked up to the police asking for shite. He couldn't even take a single push. He had absolutely no business being there.
