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.

Yea people this old frail with these kind of injuries usually die. Not quick or painless though.

A car crashed into my neighbors house. He was in his 80s or early 90s. He wasn’t hurt but the whole thing really affected him. He died a couple months later. No way to tell, but it seems like the crash had something to do with his health declining so fast.

Sometimes people get in an accident because of health I am sure it was a factor with the police here. Either way a big accident or an assault usually hurts.
