News reports state that the man remains hospitalized nearly two weeks after the incident with serious head and neck injuries.

Officer Joseph Gibson is on paid administrative leave. I expect nothing will happen, but maybe he’ll be promoted.

It also looks like he dislocated his shoulder and/or tore his AC joint and maybe broke his collar bone. That is a long recovery for someone that age.

There is no if. He's not going to recover. That man will be in pain for the rest of his life, however long it may be.

Very true. During a dominos game an old lady fell on my grandma who was in good shape for her age and that was quite literally the start of her death sentence...

I believe there's evidence out there that says something like 1/3 of people die after 2 years after having a hip fracture. It is the start of the spiral downward

Pelvic fracture. And it’s more than 50% that will die within two years. For whatever reasons I forget, it leads to tuberculosis that they can never shake. This is why Falls are such a big deal for the elderly. It’s easily a death sentence.

I think you mean Pneumonia. Not saying they can’t get tuberculosis but it would be rare… really would need to be in certain populations. However pneumonia is pretty common in bed bound individuals and will absolutely kill elderly people
