Right, because the officer just beat up an old woman.
From what we can tell;
He went to her door to "formally caution" someone for their lawn. This may have been a verbal or nonverbal warning.
Who has taken into account the actual chances that he knew that this particular home was that of an elderly woman, before he knocked on the door or went up to the house?
Was he just supposed to turn around because he found out it was an old woman, or even if he knew from the start that it was an old woman, despite the fact that her lawn did not meet legal ordinance? Its only okay for "some" people to break the law, when it suites your means, right?
When he asked her for her information, she refused.
He probably warns her that he can place her under arrest for refusing to give the officer her information.
She still hasn't given her information.
He attempts to detain her.
How he attempts to detain her, we do not know, and this is the meat of the situation.
She "sits down" and "turns to walk inside".
He continues his means of detaining her, which we do not know.
Somewhere in here she gets a scrape and knocked down.
Now that the officer looks like an ass, for simply doing his job, he says that he should have just gotten her information through another means.
So basically, he says sorry for doing his job, because he knows that will appease the public.
What aren't you grasping here? So far, nothing he has done was in the wrong, that we know about.
Why don't you heed your own advice and open up a law book and brush up on penal code.
