I don't see why it's so hard to just say that.

Also, that video is a perfect representation on why I refuse to fight anyone. The potential for a serious head injury (see his left hand all curled up to his chest and legs all rigid? That's bad) over what might amount to nothing is exactly why I consider any physical threat a mortal threat in potential.
Completely disagree with your first comment. His actions didn't rise to the level of a response from the police that would lead to serious bodily injury...which is what happened. On the other hand, I don't think anyone could have foreseen a simple shove like that resulting in what happened. Kind of an "unintended consequences" thing. I don't think a simple shove by officers in a skirmish line in a high risk area is unwarranted when they're approached by someone who's obviously a little agitated.

I agree with the second part about getting into fights. Hell...just walking down a flight of stairs with my physical issues is risk enough.
