Looks to me the cop gives him a pretty weak one arm shove to try and simply create space, and the man being old as hell and moving back at the time lost his balance and fell

Where the officer screwed up was not checking on him and giving aid. If he did that I think people view it different

But, I don’t see him as having the intention to knock the old man down

Intention has nothing to do with the act.


Whatever his intentions, the act was still performed and that was the result.

I mean we can be non binary

I don’t think during a protest situation when a perimeter is established that using one arm to create space when a protester doesn’t back up is an outrageous thing to do

But, when it’s an elderly person and they fall, you need to render aid. Simple as that

Guess it depends on your definition of "few".

Maybe so

But at the time it didn’t look very hostile. His reaction to the man falling hard looked pretty inhumane

I’m going with the statistical approach

YMMV

Which is crazy because the same ones who say this, change their tunes when they discuss politicans/police/military imposing on the 2nd Amendment. Then it's they are willing to go to war with police/military to the death. It becomes then frick THA POLICE & DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!!

Welcome to the "You're a fricking idiot group." The fricked up thing is that you are probably allowed to vote.

What happens if you shoot someone and they die and your defense is I only wanted to wound him? Not going to go well for you.

At my age,which is ten years younger than this old guy,if pushed backwards I'll hit the ground.

Certain muscles aren't as strong as they used to be.

This could have been have handled better.
