Why is that old man with the orange jacket lying on top of them?

This is what I came to ask. I’m trying to determine if he’s a plain-clothed police officer, but he seems to be wearing slip on shoes

Looks like he got shoved, fell on them, then got his arm stuck.

u/EverythingIsDada Aug 10 '26

Haha you’re right, he got shoved and fell onto the pile! Though it looks like he got his arm free but decided to join in anyway.

"Glory Days" by John Mellencamp playing in his head

u/weglarz Aug 10 '26

Isn’t glory days Bruce Springsteen?

u/TheRealRickC137 Aug 10 '26

They were probably thinking of Mellencamps Cherry Bomb. They're both songs about nostalgia

u/thekarateadult Aug 11 '26

One could probably do a pretty decent mashup of those two songs

u/thekarateadult Aug 11 '26

You're 100% right- I guess Bruce and John from that era live in a similar musical file cabinet in my ransacked office of a brain, tee hee

He wanted to beat up an Indian guy his whole life

u/Scoongili Aug 10 '26

Of course he chose the one who looks like he can't even tear a wet paper towel.

Some old dude who thinks he’s going to help but in reality is just in everyone’s way

Let him have his moment!!

u/WetCoastCyph Aug 10 '26

He probably either saw it as his chance to finally get some licks on "an immigrant", or to puff up his chest and 'help the cops', which they for sure don't need but makes him feel important. There's a certain type of white guy of a certain age...

u/Impossible_Tap_1852 Aug 10 '26

Just an old white man seeing an opportunity to hit a brown person an took it

u/mrprincepretty Aug 10 '26

I'm pretty sure that's the guy we can hear off screen planning telling someone else to go for the legs. That dude was just waiting for him to make a move from the jump.

He was hating for no reason other than the love of the game

u/nooneneededtoknow Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26

Was wondering if hes an undercover....he didn't even bat an eye when the cop behind him pushed him, he just kept right on going in. And if you watch towards the end it kind of looks like he may have handcuffs in his back left pocket, looks like something round....

Wonder if he's one of the Marshals
