New York police are not calling it a knockout attack because the victim was not punched as they were in previous attacks, according to the Daily News.

Weird. It doesn't count unless it uses a particular technique?

I'm assuming this elderly man was shoved down (probably from behind), since it says that he broke a tooth. So it's definitely the type of random physical assault on an unknown individual that the term "knock-out game" covers. Or do you actually have to be knocked out by a blow from the front in order to be a statistic?

They don’t want the knockout game to exist. Look at who the mayor is.

Or he got in the way of a late pizza delivery guy.

It has to match technique, motive, what terms the assailant uses as "shorthand" for the attack, how many people were in a group the attacker, whether or not the attack was recorded, whether or not laughter is involved, and so on.

Like the attack with a brick? Not knockout game, used a tool.

The police and other parts of the government bureaucracy don't want the public to become alarmed or appropriately careful.

There are numerous videos of knock out punches here ( one includes a feral yut hitting a GIRL from behind and her kicking his ass). The idea is to slam the brain backwards (frontal) or slam it to the front (from behind). The fun is to say “I knocked out or killed a whitey”. Holder says it is to clear out their nasal passages.

Too bad the old man didn’t have a gun and “Trayvon Martined” his ass.
