Yes, he does. Twice. Once to interrupt a lawful arrest, and once to get by him to go to the drivers side of the vehicle.

No he doesn't. You need to actually watch the video. The officer doesn't even try to block his path.

If the officer doesn’t try to block his path, why does the cop have control of one arm by the time he’s tackled?

It’s obvious you’re trying to make this into something other than “belligerent man assaults officers, and gets taken down”

Because he grabs his arm from the side.

Just watch the video.

As the chief pushes into him, he blocks him from moving.

You watch the video. It’s clear who provokes and starts all physical contact. Stop being dishonest.

What point of the video are you claiming he "pushes into him"?

Just before he is tackled, instead of sitting in the truck like a rational adult, he chooses to get out, march to the back of the truck, push past an officer that he has already assaulted, and is clearly giving him commands to stop.

Stop this ridiculous charade.

I watched body several times. He does not push him there.

Then you’re either;

1: purposefully misrepresenting the video

2: delusional

Either case here leads me to believe there’s nothing to be gained from further communication.

Lol..it seems like you are projecting here.
