You have to remember the woman in question has cerebral palsy. Not an easy hand to be dealt and she's trying her best, probably concentrating on just walking.
She comes up on the the cop as we all have come up to a person at one time or another and stops, but the cop advances one step (which to me seems intimidating) and by doing so, he closes the distance between them, then he just stands there and she tries to squeeze between the two imovable tough guys. The result was that he then reacted and pushed her over.
The thing that bothers me the most is that the cops are supposed to be there to help people like the woman in the video, but sometimes they fancy themselves "law givers" and they lose sight of what they're there for.
At the very least they need to take a long hard look at this cop in question and if there's anything on his psych profile which might indicate that he's a power whore or a sadist, he needs to go.
