I notice in the video that he was actually shoving/hitting a group of apes before he himself was cold-cocked.

But wasn't he there to protest the White cops'violent treatment of Blacks ? Why then was he lashing-out at these poor, misguided youth ?

Looks like he was acting out of fear and self-preservation in defending himself against savage groids just as Zimmerman And Darren Wilson did. -What a hypocrite.
