That was the exact point of the protest.

They didn't hurt anybody yet the police assault them.

Omg they're psychos, pushing people down without stopping and then spraying them 

I wanna see how tough they are standing naked in front of a bunch of people, bet they'd be more pacifistic

How is this an assault?  They stepped over her.  Crying wolf too many times is just as bad imo since it causes people to not believe you when you need them to.

what the ****? walking over someone defenceless the way they did in their attire is no assault? really? This would be assault no matter the age of the victim!

1. Why wouldn't she move out of the way? 

2. Why did they continue to walk over her when she was on the ground? 

3. They're behavior to the people trying to help her up is ridiculous. Kicking and spraying? 

Ok I keep watching this and I'm just like 

One officer slammed his baracade into a man trying assist the woman up, then they were kicking the people in their way, and walking over the fallen ones. Then they were dragging someone who had fallen, and when they literally yanked the elder woman off the ground. 

What was the context of this event? 

Why are police able to do basically anything they want with little to no ramifications?

Couldn't find anything video related, but apparently the protest turned violent several times in a span of two days so it's not really a surprise the police would be on edge

Lmao of course people would defend the police, in military attire, assaulting an elder woman. #BluLivezMattur

To me assault in this scenario (ie trying to control a mob) would be defined as stepping on her, kicking her after she down, etc.   Stepping over her  to push the mob back is not assault.
