Sometimes I really have to wonder how it is that some cops are on the job at all, especially the ones who are overly eager to use physical force. I see absolutely no reason for the officer in this video to have resorted to physical force on this old timer, first pushing with his hand, then with his ballistic shield and knocking the man over. Of course the old timer could have presented some sort of threat with his back to the officer as he was walking away in exactly the direction the officer had pushed him in the first place but it certainly is not obvious that there was any sort of threat. Frigging idiot, does he not realize all the crap happening now was due to, or is being purported to have been caused by, police brutality in the first place and does he not realize that cameras are everywhere, and did he somehow miss the cane or the fact that the geezer was apparently complying. I must be missing something that justified that knockdown - then again maybe not.
