And before resigning, they all walk by the guy bleeding on the ground purposefully not looking.

Hard to watch that and not be horrified.

I guess this guy has been a constant gadfly at protests for some time. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not but shocking.

That video is terrible. If even looks as if a second officer is about to strike him again until he is held back by a third officer.

But the walking over his body maybe the worst part.

If I recall correctly, they also instructed other officers to grab the two witnesses. No not protestors, not rioters, witnesses

There's another video, slightly longer, which shows that the police stop after a few more seconds and attend to him. I think they were a bit shocked by severe consequences of the shove and uncertain for a moment (even though it was a predictable result of the heavy-handed approach that the police have been taking that somewhere something like this would happen).

What is absolutely not forgivable, though, is lying that he "tripped and fell" on the police report. And it's even more outrageous that dozens of officers are coming together to defend that egregious lie!

That is incorrect; the police continued to walk past and a member of the National Guard ended up attending to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFeewU0HhNE

>>rectan+d3
Either he was severely incapacitated and needed medical attention, or he wasn't and lettit him stay behind the line was tactically dangerous. Either way, they were in the wrong.

Yeah, at least the two national guardsmen (stuck behind the cop line) check on him as soon as they get a chance.

>>rectan+d3
It’s elder abuse.

This came up on a law enforcement subreddit. Riot police training is that the front line always keeps moving in order to provide a security barrier, the medics behind them will attend to anybody injured. In this case the medic was national guard. Supposedly it took 18 seconds between the time the man fell and the time the medic reached him.

So the initial shove was pretty horrific, but the line movement at least has a plausible explanation.

I'm trying to understand where the riot was? They pan to the left and there's like 30 people max in the park across the street. This seems totally unjustified given the circumstances. Somehow they managed to easily apprehend the second man in the video without shoving him to the ground. Just disgusting either way.

It wasn't a riot situation, it was a human situation, he was just standing there. Don't forget that also the initial police report (they put it on their twitter even) that someone "had tripped". It was the usual denial of the situation with lies that we see so much now, that actual video can expose. If that video of the old guy going down wasn't taken, we'd never have known.
