What's the idiot doing and why go against a large group of cops obviously heading to a specific destination...and what did he have in his hand he raised up? He had no business being there!

We are asking a LOT of cops in this instance, becasue we know that a 70-year-old man can pull a trigger about as well as a 20-year-old.

Should the cops have known he had a phone, not a gun? It’s not like they didn’t have a hundred things to watch out for; he could also have had a knife.

They pushed him back, not terribly hard. Did the KNOW he was 70 years old, they had like a second to respond, and they are supposed to immediately know that a guy coming up to them is old, frail, unarmed, and means no harm — remember, it’s not like they shot him, they just pushed him away.

Illuminating picture.

Never in my 62 years have I encountered a large unit of policeman in riot gear marching in one direction.

But if I had, my first reaction would be to get out of their way as quickly as my legs could carry me.

What is he doing interfering in the obvious mission these cops are heading for?.... Curview was on and the cops were on their way to enforce it.....so what's he doing after he was told to get out of the way?

Looks to me like the man was interferring asking for a confrontation and likely headlines....what part of 'Get Out of The Way! did he not understand??????

Then he trips backwards over his own two feet!
