Was that a phone in the man's hand? Was he trying to record badge numbers around their waist?

I'm just curious if we have any info on that.

I forgot some people are not logical. Okay, a given person can beat up a given 75 year old man with one push.

I hope nobody speaks of you that way if you're ever assaulted like that as a senior.

Protesters just don't get it - when they tell you to move back - do not approach them and argue.

On the other hand - each and every one of us should walk a week in their shoes and see just how fed up we get - but none of us do - we just sit on our butts and complain about it.
In most other developed countries, police are somehow able to better resist the urge to assault citizens.

Yes he is and he's waving his hand back and forth to emphasize whatever he's saying.
I thought you disapproved of this kind of first strike violence.

I do disapprove!

I just wanted to know what he was doing. I was pretty sure by the video that it was a phone and he was trying to record badge numbers but just wanted to confirm it.

Of course the cops were wrong. They initiated force on him.

Old man pushed to the ground by police in Buffalo - bleeding from head
I don't think they meant to hurt him, but:

- They didn't help him
- Some tried to help, but were prevented by other officers
- Later they lied about it

If you make a mistake, admit it, help the victim, and own the mistake.

The guy is nothing but an instigator - just before going to the protest he tweeted: The cops should not have clubs.
And should not be in riot gear. The National Guard should arrest the police.

He hates Trump and has a youtube channel where he sounds like a loon. Oh by the way - there is now a Go Fund Me for Him. Liberals are such easy marks!

I'd imagine the people who got killed, raped or beaten to a bloody pulp during these "protests" would trade places with this guy right about now...
