What's the problem? How many times where the police supposed to tell him to move to the side before they got physical?
You can hear them screaming at him to move and he's still walking around like he owns the street. All he had to do was just step to the side and let the police past and nothing would of happened. But he's acting like he doesn't see them and doesn't fell the police dogs right on his heels. His "I don't give a fuck" attitude is the reason why he was pushed into the concrete, before he was knocked over the police gave him three soft nudges and asked him to move and he ignored them so they gave him a hard one to "wake" him up. Besides, common sense would tell most people not to step in front of police with attack dogs and full riot gear on. 8)

Do the cops own the street? The guy wasn't even a part of the protest, he was walking home. He wasn't threatening them, wasn't acting violently. He was walking down the street w/ his hands in his pocket minding his own business. Defending the cop here is insane.

In addition they didn't just push him, he was struck by them and initially they attempted to cover it up, if it wasn't for the public's cameras, it wouldn't have been even caught. it just so happened that the most heavily surveiled city in the entire world did not have any CCTV that captured the events that unfolded.
Manslaughter is manslaughter, now the underlying problem is this, the police force do not need to instruct their officers to behave like this but when the officers do, and don't get punished for it in exactly the same way anyone outside the police force would, then it sends out a message out that if you are a cop, you are above the law.
