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.
Cops are trained to deal with criminals in crimes. Not for protests and for curfews with people who do not want to be restricted. Plus these cops are probably overworked and tense, there are cops getting shot and beat up, even an old guy could be a little nuts and pull a knife and stab them in the throat. We are old people, some of the old people were trained in the military...we are not harmless just because we are older. I may be in my sixties, and sore all over from years of abusing my body at work, but if I had to I could take almost anyone down in minutes if they let their guard down, And I was never military, but know how to protect myself if needed. Never assume an old guy is helpless.
Then the cops could have used kids gloves since he is elderly, and moved him to the side or something.

It doesn't work like that , he could have saying his wife's having a heart attack and his phones not working , anything like that.
One had time to listen , why not the others .

Him and his depends wearing ass should have stayed home. Play with fire you get burned.
There was no permit for the protest.
It was after curfew.
He has no excuse.

How the hell are you attempting to justify 2 cops pushing an old man?
They could have EASILY escorted him to where they wanted him to go.
The 2 dip#s are suspended, imo rightfully so.

Your comparison is hot garbage.
The cops abused their power when dealing with a senior citizen.
It is vile.
They have been suspended so your "judging" assesment is crap also.
Sell your deflection elsewhere.
