Please stop parroting stupid stuff you've heard on the radio or on Fox News. Anyone can watch the incident, someone shared the link on youtube in another comment.

> Seems like the loss of balance and fall was out of their control

They pushed him and caused him to fall over backwards.

> raising your hands toward their weapons

He's got stuff in both his hands and he's very clearly not trying to take their weapons away. His hands are roughly at the same height as their "weapons," yes.

Yours is a rhetorically sneaky way of suggesting it was reasonable for them to believe he was reaching for their batons. It's similar to the way LA cops used to murder unarmed people and suggest that they were "reaching for their waistband." Literally anyone whose arms are of normal length is at any given time "reaching for their waistband" if their hands aren't on their heads. Don't be this dishonest, it's pathetic.
