# The police are advancing on the crowd
Are they telling the crowd to get back?
Is this man ignoring them?
How has he found himself at the front of a crowd of protesters if he's just walking home?

There is no information about this video other than it's turned up, most websites/news programs have edited it to fit the slot and there's no information about where/when/what was happening.

Yet everyone is perfectly happy to draw their own conclusions and have already sent the officers to the stocks.

# I haven't drawn conclusions.
I'm struggling to come up with an excuse for those kinds of actions though.

# How about...
the heightened sense of fear on the side of the police that they were outnumbered by people lobbing bottles at them?

# That doesn't justify assault.
I don't think the Police would look kindly on someone pushing over a random person because they're scared of a general situation.

# Does it matter
Does marching give them the right to push someone?
Does shouting give them the right to push someone?
Does being ignored give them the right to push someone?

# You're talking like this guy was walking through London's streets on any given day
He wasn't. It was the middle of a protest which was, at times, violent. It's not like he was merrily walking along an empty street and the police set upon him
