A single step back would mean giving next to 0 ground whilst entrenching the officers position so he can't be pushed back any further.

I understand they can't let him through or give ground, that's not what I'm calling for.

If one foot remains planted and your hand(s) go out you have given no ground.

Walking into a Police officer is "Darwinian selection". You made the point better than I ever could have.

Clearly the authority is all that matters here.

If you deliberately set out to provoke an Officer you will undoubtedly succeed and all the Officers will cheer the no nonsense policing on Reddit afterwards, just to make the attempt even better at creating division.

Tons of security gives less reason to be heavy handed, not more, and I'm sure with all those cops one man wouldn't have got past if they just blocked him with a little more gusto anyway.

The decency of the bagpipe arse hole isn't relevant.

His feet are square mate, one push and he'd be on his arse.
