So again, just so you can educate me, what the football field of difference you're talking about? Did this man trip? And are the people who pushed him innocent of any crime here?

The dude approached riot cops that are going to be on on edge with a helmet in his hand which could be easily seen as a weapon. Pushing him back in that situation is not criminal, age doesn't stop someone from being a threat. Do I think there should be some discipline? Absolutely as it was a poor decision with an awful result. This is getting more outrage than the two college students tazed in their car and dragged out. More outrage than a child being pepper sprayed. Why?
Because he's a white boomer.
