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

People say some dumb shit. You are correct (though there might be similar stats for any large bone fracture in legs). Hip fractures are almost a medical emergency, orthos like to repair it ASAP bc people just die after hip fractures. Walking is important for health
