A fraction of a second? They weren't piloting an F-14 in Top Gun or something, there was a visibly unarmed elderly guy shuffling towards them alone on the sidewalk. It was literally the opposite of a situation that demanded split-second decision making.

As with the grandparent comment, I question whether you even watched the video of the incident or if you are just repeating some stupid stuff you heard about the incident.

Yea, life isn't a movie, don't you know? Regardless of how old he was, or how harmless he was trying to look, he could still be a threat.

Yea, I did, several times. It looked weird to me. The push wasn't enough to knock him over.

I also just found out there is some evidence this was a staged event, complete with fake blood.
