Police slam grandfather trying to protect grandson from crowd to ground Buckeye Walmart

[RamboLiberal]

(Witnesses) They said that people were tearing the box of games apart, trying to get to the videos, and a woman ended up getting punched.

Then the grandson was trampled on in all the mayhem -- even cutting his lip. His grandpa put the game in his waistband so that he could lift the boy out of the crowd.

Witnesses said that's when a police officer grabbed the man and slammed him to the ground – possibly thinking he was stealing the game.

Blood streamed from the victim's face, but witnesses said police didn't believe anything was wrong until they turned the man over.
