    Watched this a number of times trying to figure why the guy breaks away and moves towards the crowd. At first it seemed odd like he was charging bystanders, but then I realized it looks like a cop holding bystanders back might’ve been rough.

    Like I thought he was attacking the lady in black in the crowd, but looks more like it’s actually a cop’s arm on her and he’s reaching for the cop’s arm.

    And then they just go hog wild.

      I believe he wanted to escape and since the crown is pro palestine , he though they would open the path

        Well, the cops were telling them to leave and stop obstructing the checkpointq, so technically he was complying then if that was the case.

        Laying hands on a cop manhandling someone though? That’s a beating in any cops book.
