TWO BIG BAD COPS pushed the elderly guy
Really not necessary
Those 2 need a new profession

Watch the vid, he was clearly pushed backwards.
What video, there is no video on that link, one picture and lots of writing, I could not see any link to click on for the video anywhere in that link.
The vid was in the middle of the story, in the link.

All they had to do was escort him to the area they wanted him in.
I am GLAD they were suspended
They have NO understanding of how to handle their authority.

This was an unfortunate accident, I don't believe for one second the cops where trying to push him that hard.

More disturbing is the general attitude of not giving a f# once the guy's head was cracked open and bleeding in front of them... until some genius finally decides that an ambulance is needed, but even that decision felt like a lonnnng time coming within the context of a situation as serious as that.
They just seemed like a group of clueless dopes in uniforms.

If you notice the guy was trying to shake their hand, But they taught him that won't be tolerated. Anybody who watched this video and thinks that was ok, then I don't know what to say. Why push somebody backwards like that? For what? I will admit maybe not the brightest thing to do walking up to them during these times, but He tried to shake their hand and that is the response? I just don't get it and apparently those in charge didn't either as the cop has been removed. For those saying he slipped, maybe you have perfect balance and not are not older but being pushed backwards unexpectedly will cause the feet to tangle, and I guess shaking the guys hand and then leading him down the street afterward would have been too much to ask and a shove backwards instead is called for in that situation.

He has a phone in his hand, or other similar device. Hard to shake hands when you are holding something.
Whatever, let the emotions and narratives flow.
It was obviously premeditated, you can see in the third video they all stomp on his head and throw a wild badger at him while he lay there bleeding and reciting the lords prayer. Then someone whips a cooler out and they all crack beers and laugh.

I didn't see that at all, did you watch the video I linked.
The whole line stopped, they called for a medic unit. It's police in riot gear, they aren't just going to whip out a stretcher from their pocket and be able to airlift him out in the 20 second clip we saw.
