Thugs push old man to the ground during protests // Trump comments
 

Awful

Yes The Cops are suspended
even shown as wrong on FoxNewsHD

That clip wouldn’t be out of place in a film set in some Dystopian future :worry:

Disgusting , anyone know why he approached them ?

Videos like this highlight that the issue with police isn’t just “a few bad apples” how many officers were there? why did so many just continue marching? why was some of them’s fist instinct to shoo the media away rather than you know.. check on him?

The same people who go on about 'a few bad apples' are always quick to discount the protests because of opportunistic looters, you can't make it up.

when asked about it, the police said that he tripped, then they were shown the video ....

The officers involved tried to report it as him tripping over too to begin with

Exactly. There’s about 20+ of them there and they did nothing.

Jeez imagine what they get away with when cameras aren’t rolling :conf2:

Meanwhile, low stated, quiet protests like taking the knee are unpatriotic and those partaking deserve to be fired.........

'You can't protest unless it's peaceful but if you do, we won't let you do that either.'

One of the same officers took the knee yesterday, you can’t make this up.

I have seen stories of police kneeling and then attacking but I've not found anything to corroborate it but this certainly gives it weight.

Awful, really shows how they need better vetting and training.

One guy did bend down to help but he was pushed off by a colleague/superior, crazy that no one helped him

I;m so pissed. I was so angry when I saw this i was up until 4am trying to find the wankers that did this.

Luckily they were named on social media.

They have been suspended... should be charged for manslaughter! There are so many of these things ive seen in the pass week.

Did he die?

No he didn’t die

Yep.

1. They stopped the 1 cop who wanted to help
2. Everyone else walked on
3. Had the audacity to say "a man tripped"
4. Then **** themselves when the video was released

The video has around 50 million views already.

Giving out leaflets

He still could.

He is in critical condition.

If he doesn't then it is aggravated assault at the least.

Fingers crossed he pulls through

Terrible. This crisis is showcasing the worst in everyone. I saw a video in the other thread of looters/thugs beating an elderly woman Protecting her shop which made me feel sick. People need to be more compassionate

NYPD saying a lot of the officers are being suspended due to their actions across the past week.
