Cops were told to clear the area, the elderly man walked up to the cops, why? We don’t know, but one of the cops shoved the man backwards and the man tripped. It was a very unfortunate event, but the cop wasn’t trying to assault the elderly man, and didn’t throw him to the ground as reported on the NBC evening news.
Pushing is assault and when you push a 75 year old man backwards he may fall. This is very basic stuff we all know.
That old fool, god knows what he was doing going up to these cops that are marching forward touching them grabbing them. I don't care how old he was the cops are not in the wrong here and it's just unfortunate he fell from being tapped and smacked his head I really don't care Newsflash you don't go to a cop and start touching them bad things happen and it should be that way
