I don't disagree with anything you've said, but we can only go on what happened in the video.
Whatever happened before that point, the kid obviously wasn't a threat at the point that he was assaulted.
The sheriff also confirmed that though there were some things that happened prior, they didn't justify the assault. The kid handled it the right way. Hold your ground and wait for the police after being assaulted. I've made a small amount of enemies riding my bike at lightning speed dipping through throngs of people at the park around my way. When a lady threatened me saying if I hit her, she will "react." I told her straight up. I'll call the police and then defend myself if she escalates it. Doesn't matter if it's an old woman or an Army Lieutenant to me. If you handle the situation in the right way, you should be protected. You also protect yourself to some degree in future encounters. Though I agree this was likely much ado about nothing, it still is what it is. He had no reason to put his hands on the kid. He also knocked a cellphone out of his hand and caused some damage to it I'm assuming. If the kid just wanted to walk away after the push, I'm sure damage to his phone might have made him decide to legally see it through. The bottom line is, it's not his job to police the public sidewalk and put his hands on people.
And as to the "its not his job" I'm not with this call the police bs all the time. If it warrants it or you don't feel safe dealing with a situation fair play, but if something is happening that ain't that big a deal, but isn't something that should be happening or is offensive or threatening to you or yours in front of you & you don't act you might as well cut your balls off. And to be clear idk if this guy did something THAT extreme to get such extreme attention by this drill sgt guy or not, but the thing is even with all that extreme attention his big crime here was pushing a guy.
As for the phone he should take the guy to court or take the L on that one if he wasn't completely innocent in the situation.

You should see some of the stories that have been buried by the media in recent days and weeks. Brutal stuff that makes this look like nothing. Which it is. But the wrong people are victims, not part of a protected class, so it’s not viral news.

please find all these so called racist posts by me and I will leave right now...seems like posting stories where a white person is clearly wrong means you are racist..yet the same posters criminalize every damn black person who is killed or assaulted by a white person

Which story are you referring to? I just posted one of the elderly woman beaten into a concussion because of her race. No social media outrage, no protesters, no vandalism or mainstream media coverage. I can point to 30+ murders that took place last month that were racially motivated and never made CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NYT, WAPO, and haven’t gone viral on social media.
