Absolutely. Just noting that those idiots screaming at old people never touched them, while the police officers in those other cases actually knocked down old people for no other reason than they weren't moving fast enough. To be fair, in each case, another officer tried to help the person who was attacked. In Buffalo, the officer trying to tend to the victim was restrained by other officer to keep him from helping the man.
And I can tell you from experience, that being screamed at is common enough on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I was walking a dog one day, and an otherwise perfectly normal-looking woman began to scream at me for not having clothes on the dog. Burroughs was a large dog, but fortunately, he was not at all aggressive, and just pulled me off in another direction. The woman then got in front of a trolley, and screamed at the operator for a bit. He was familiar with the issue, and just sat and waited for her to move on, which she eventually did.
Lots of crazy people on the hill, but I've never seen one actually hurt anybody. I can only imagine how they are reacting to the troubles there, now.
