2. That's unfortunate considering their repugnant behavior.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the old gentleman died as a result of their pushing him and landing him on the sidewalk.

6. No, he didn't die but he spent a month in the hospital

Infuriating.

3. This is wrong.

4. Felony assault seems like a loser from the git-go ...

Sometimes you wonder what the prosecutors were thinking in cases like this ...

5. They bring up charges like this knowing they won't stick

They are on the cops' side.

9. Same as putting on a half-baked case in front of a grand jury.

Gee wiz. Couldn't get anything to stick. Oh, well, we tried.

14. "They bring up charges like this knowing they won't stick."

SO true ....

7. So what's the take-away here...

It's OK to rough up the elderly???

10. Let's not say "shoved" - let's say ASSAULTED.

11. What's really bizarre...

As I look closer at the photos of those two cops... I knew a dude who looked like a hybrid of those two officers combined -- and that guy was a huge asshole. Weird!!!

12. What's next, kicking small children and puppies

is OK?!?

13. Of course. If only he'd been a Proud Boi, it likely would have been different.

But those elderly peace activists are dangerous killers.

15. Angry but not the least bit surprised.

The fix was in.

16. This is sickening.

Then they wonder why we have BLM protesters. Police are to protect not assault.
