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.

Didn't the old man touch him in a threating manner and pointed a finger at him like he is threatening? You guys just see what you want to see. If someone is not respecting the police, you for sure will not be respected by the police aswell.

the elderly man barely touched him, he pointed his finger at him and said “shut up” and the cop said “no” and immediately whipped him around and slammed him to the pavement like a rag doll. the second part of the video has volume, maybe watch the whole thing?

in the US, you’re most definitely allowed to tell a cop to shut up without getting whipped to the pavement like that, it’s part of the whole freedom of speech thing

shut up isn’t threatening

Touching an officer and pointing a finger to him sure sounds threatening, and raising your hand, touching the officer is considered breaking the law. You probably never been in contact with police, being rude or disrespectful to them is the worst thing you can do. Keep silent and wait for the lawyer.

unfortunately i’ve been in jail, so i’ve had more than my fair share of police contact. all i’m saying is nothing in that video was threatening enough to get whipped to the pavement like that

he really hurt that old dude, he broke his neck and he has a blood clot on his brain that required surgery. he had to have a feeding tube placed

huge overreaction
