I mean, if she had been going for his gun and he didn't react then the cops would have a much bigger problem on their hands.
And what if she was? Would you rather a poor old crippled lady get pushed to the ground or have someone suffering from INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE SPASMS wielding a firearm in the middle of downtown Vancouver? The cop apologized, he was only doing his job.

Ok I'll ask you, why was she allowed to walk off uncharged if the cop truly thought she was going for his gun?
There is no way the cop actually thought she was going for the gun. I visited Vancouver during a huge gay parade [insert jokes here] and a big fireworks show. Cops had all the streets closed off and I have never felt so disrespected. It honestly felt like I was in another country, and not Canada where I have never had my freedoms limited. It definitely is just a Vancouver thing because Calgary cops handled the Red Mile with such class. They could learn quite a few things from the Calgary police.
