And if he had an acid pouch, what would stop him from throwing into their face while being on the ground?
What if he had a nuke?
Exactly. So you always play the probabilities and weight the risk.Now you get it.
No way of knowing.
So why didn't they just arrest him? They arrested the next guy. Apparently for being past curfew. Instead they used force and were caught on camera. It's always the same, the force was caught on camera. The argument is that excessive force has always been used but there were no cameras before. I am not making that argument but that's THE argument.Arrest him for walking up? No. Excessive force? No.
This is a freak accident. The one officer barely touch him, and the other did not push back much. This was an accident caused mostly by the guy losing his balance as he was pushed by a line of cops moving forward, that he had no legal right to prevent or interfere with.
And if he had an acid pouch, what would stop him from throwing into their face while being on the ground?
?
Perhaps and maybe he asked the cop to push him backwards so that the world could see and perhaps he took his blood thinners so that he could get a really good skull fracture with lots of blood.The old commie had to get HIS cameraman in position for the incident he wanted to create, therefore nothing before.
So why didn't they just arrest him? They arrested the next guy.

Try sarcasm.
And who said he is my friend? I certainly did not.Sorry your friend played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.

Exactly.Had this been a man wearing a MAGA hat and the Portland (OR) police were involved, I expect that some would be singing a different tune. Since instead the old man was a leftist, all is fair.

Exactly.
You (/we) can disagree with the man and his placement, but there's no reason to shove an older man to the ground and cause such a severe injury when there's 0 threat involved. Had is been some protest for 2A on some liberal city, I assume a lot of the "hooray for blood" folks would be furious (and for a good reason..!).
I think (hope?) none of the participants of this discussion are actually happy that this man got such an injury, even if their keyboards are saying otherwise. Maybe I'm overly optimistic but I think that caring for a fellow american's well-being triumphs political arguments.
ZFG. Communists aren’t people. It chose to play a stupid game and won the prize for its participation.Exactly.
