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.
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.

calm down
i would expect in a time of peace, no riots going on, and a large group of cops not in riot gear to never ever react that way to someone approaching them on the street.
i can see a nuanced difference in this particular situation. they're either going to or coming from a potentially dangerous encounter. if you're assuming all the protesters are peaceful, that's laughable. you can't know who's good and who's bad when they're walking up to you.
my assertion is that it's about 80% the cop's fault, and 20% the old man's.
