What’s a good reason why the cop in Buffalo didn’t face charges for pushing the old man?

[Rocko]

I’m usually on the side of the police, but on this one I don’t know how anyone can excuse the cop’s actions.

 

[Blackrook]

It appears bad, but one should always get all sides of a story before making a final judgment.

I mean after watching the video I can’t imagine what the cop could say that would excuse his actions. The cop probably wasn’t looking to hurt the old man, but was quick to put his hands on him. That’s not good policing

You don't...next. If you feel the need to push around an old man you evidently need to beat women and children also and kick the dog.

 

[Blackrook]

If the police officer is charged with a crime, a jury will decide his fate.

 

[Canon Shooter]

You shouldn't dismiss the harm someone can do just because they're old.

It looked like he was trying to block the officers and failed miserably.

I suspect it had something to do with interfering with an officer in performance of his duties. Doubt the officer intended that kind of damage. Looks bad. At same time, what ever made the old man think the formation would stop, just for him. Does not make sense. If it worked that way, rioters and violent protestors would lead with the very old and the very young, easily accomplishing their goals.

Like I said the officer’s probably didn’t intend to do the damage he did, but he shouldn’t have been so quick to put his hands on the protestor.

It looks really bad, but if you are about to be run over by a tank in gear, you should probably get out of the way. Sad.

The old man, a leftist activist, was standing squarely in the middle of police ranks during a street riot
and was directed to remove himself. He did not.
So he was forcibly removed. Too bad he was hurt but he himself bears responsibility for that.

Old people maimed and killed by BLM and Antifa are give the okay sign by the Prog rulers.

Is that why he has help putting on his robe?

Show me that clip. I did not see it. Did you or are you just making it up?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Cops are usually above the law.

One wonders if he fell on purpose, all he had to do was provoke a cop and get pushed and fall backward and hit the ground. IOW, was he acting like the shove wass why he fel or did he do a good job of acting like it did?

One thing, it was after the curfew and he shouldn't have been there in the 1st place.

Two, the cops are marching forward and he confronts them as though trying to stop from from doing their duty.

Three, what was that thing he had in his right hand, a scanning device or something? Was he possibly trying to film his own incident of police brutality?

Four, WTF is going on in this country with respect to the cops? When he/she tells you to get out of the way, then GTFO of the way. When he/she tells you to do something then fucking do it. Don't give them a ration of shit, especially when you can tell they are doing their sworn duty.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Like I said the guy was notorious in Buffalo for being a nuisance as an "activist".
And his actions show a person who feels like he is immune to laws that restrict others.

So did he topple over because he was viciously shoved? Or because this old nuisance causing coot
was so decrepit? Or even possibly because he tried to play up the event and lost control of the
scam. In any case authorities wisely declined to prosecute the police.
That's upstate New York. In New York city this cop would probably have been publicly flayed to death.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

If the cop was in the process of coming to someone’s aid and the skinny dude intentionally impeded that effort, then not only should the cop not be charged but the skinny guy should be.

There was no riot. The streets were basically empty.
