Old man falling looks like a combination of incompetence and truckload of bad luck. Looks like these two suspended guys are listening to the man, then 3rd one comes and shouts to push on and both of them give a quick shove at the same time, resulting in the man taking off-balance steps, tripping and falling.

Unfortunate and unprofessional, they should've walked the man away from there. But it's stupid to think they deliberately cracked his skull, probably pretty shocking thing for the officer too and a thing that will haunt him. Unless you already think none of these officers are human at all..

"To add insult to injury they just walk right by him offering no aid to him till two state troopers stopped to help" Not at all, they immediately call the medic team. No use for others to gather around the old man.

Ever heard of "duty to rescue, failure to render aid"? You stay at an accident scene doing what you can until professional help arrived. Not only were they at fault for shoving the old man, walking away and lying about it are two more counts against them. These people should not be on the street dealing with the public.

I have, doesn't have much to do with this situation. They have an emergency squad for it and it arrives quickly. One of them stays there. Others need to carry on whatever task they had. No point touching someone with potentially serious injury and trauma if more qualified and equipped units are available.

I agree the two men shoving shouldn't continue to operate after the incident. Very likely too much going on inside their heads.
