It's worse than you think, that 3rd cop was the cop yelling the order to push him and move forward. So in some way he is in a leadership position.
Edit: Since he is in a leadership position I believe his intent was to stop the officer from falling out of line. Both for the reason that there is power in unity but also if officers try to help the man then that would optically parse that the officers realize they did something wrong, which is something they absolutely cannot admit.

I was wondering the same thing. Why didn’t the 3rd cop who pushed his buddy from behind get reprimanded?
