#BlackLivesMatter is defending a 75 year old white guy while the "ALL LIVES MATTER" crowd are defending the cops who shoved him down and concussed him. In case you were wondering who actually believes all lives matter and who just wants to defend police brutality.

To be fair, he was reaching for something on the cop's belt. Mace? But the cop obviously used a little too much force.

It's crazy how this detail has not come up in any news story. I've got to re-watch the video.

It's pretty clear. I caught it on the first view. Let me know if you see it too.

a tiny bit too much, the guy clearly stepped backwards - ie, in balance - before he decided to let go and collapse.

poor him, but really?

This sounds like a pretty big generalization to me.

This was unfortunate but I don't see the police brutality angle. Guy went in, pressed riot police and got a love tap check back.

If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Chances are, at 75, this dude is a veteran of the anti-Vietnam War Protests but is not as spry as he used to be.

The man was aggressively approaching the police in the middle of a clearing operation. He deserved to be pushed back.
