This verse is obviously above the death of GF. What doesn't make much sense to me is the one line. I may not fully understand the verb "shove" or the "kid" is someone totally else than GF. Or was he shoved to a some crowd? I thought he was taken out and arrested.

IIRC, one of the young men or teens in the crowd of spectators came out and started yelling at the cops; and one of the cops pushed him back into the crowd. Kinda like "Stay out of this." Someone else might have a clearer recollection.
