Well Duh, of course he did.
Looked like a classic “soccer fall”
The crack sound could have been from anything, maybe something he had in his pocket, maybe something on the ground, maybe any number of things that can’t be easily explained but it just doesn’t sound like the sound of a skull hitting the ground. To my ears it sounded too metallic.
Fake blood. Fake story. Real leftist
He was shown to have a tube or wire running up his back under his shirt, going under his mask and coming out into his ear. I don’t think the actual fall was faked (although the cop obviously did not mean to push him over), and he probably really did bleed, but I suspect he was wearing some kind of communication device. He was carrying his cell phone and “tapping” police with it, and when the officer pushed his hand away, he was putting his phone near the officer’s comms equipment. So I think there’s a lot more to this story.
Bull. He was barely touched, then took a dive.
But he wasn’t brutally shoved. He was brushed away by a passing officer and he turned that himself into a stumbling fall WELL AFTER the officer made contact. The cop wasn’t anywhere near him when he fell.
He wants crapcago 68 give it to him: riot club over the collar bone. Buffalo eh? This guy 120 years ago is type who would killed McKinley. Must be the cold there! Flynn the asshat DA needs to go. Felony assault my backside.
The way that guy fell like he was knocked out cold after a light push lends me to believe he was ok with suicide by Cop for “the cause” He made no attempt to put his hands out to break his fall.
The helmet he was carrying provided the dramatic sound effect.
“...A frail-looking old man standing alone against the Buffalo police is brutally pushed to the ground and left to lie there, bleeding: ...”
He was a big guy, much taller than the police officers. He wasn’t standing, he approached the police pushing his arms toward them with what looks like an iphone in his right hand. He pushed it at both officers, first time at an officers neck area and then at the other officers waist. The so called victim was the aggressor.
They did not “brutally” pushed.
It was a slight shove because he was physically manhandling them and it looked like he was going for the gun.
I thought his fall back looked a bit on the theatrical side. It was like a stumble and I suspect that he may have miscalculated and actually tripped and hurt himself.
Better Call Saul!
1- he wasn’t frail looking as the article indicates
2- he went down as if on purpose and once down, he laid there w his legs crossed as if lounging
For those that havent seen it..look for the slow mo where it is clear he was scanning comm devices
dont remember if he was trying to clone or pick up the signal or what the technical term is
The cop didn’t push him hard enough.
look in his left hand.... he has a motorcycle helmet... a nice little weapon it is..
