Cop slugs protester in Occupy Wall Street protest

[Doc Savage Fan]

I replayed this several times....it looks like the guy in the green shirt hit the officer's left elbow (not hard) and the cop reacted immediately.

I'm curious, what would it take to get you to protest something? Would you be okay if it was you or how about your boyfriend that the cop slugged?

I don't whine about my situation (aka protest) I fix things. Nobody I care about would waste their time protesting or otherwise be in a position where a cop would want to strike them.

watching the video in the OP it seems plausible that the dude took a swing, but i need a better angle
