A protester was injured Thursday night after being pushed by police as officers cleared Niagara Square as the citywide curfew went into effect.
Following the incident, which has drawn national attention and scrutiny, the Buffalo Police Department has suspended two officers without pay and has begun an Internal Affairs investigation, according to a police official and a department spokesman.
The left has successfully neutered enough of the country to the point of no return.
This show of weakness, ineptness and fakery does not help a thing!
I’m willing to bet that his injuries will be listed as COVID-related /sarc-off sorta
The guy deserved it.
What part of ‘stand back’ did the guy on the ground misunderstand?
It’s a bad look that the national guard all the way at the back were the first to render help. Profuse bleeding out the ear like that implies a possible base of skull fracture, which can go south very very quickly without medical help.
I’m starting to think all police should do a few months overlap of basic EMT training as well to graduate, with an increased salary to match.
He’s in stable, for now.
It was amazing how quickly that ear began bleeding...within a second, it seems.
Time for the police to walk away from their jobs where they aren’t being backed up by their local government officials.
Someone, a terrorist, walked up to a NYPD yesterday and stabbed him in the neck. So I guess these officers should have just let old dude just walk up into their physical space, clearly out of the ordinary, and see what happens.
And I’m not one to defend the cops in many instances.
Hence the concern of a fracture. Older people do have various vascular/derm abnormalities which can result in skin ripping like tissue paper and profusely bleeding, but the fact that the man appeared unconscious should of prompted urgent attention and concern for skull fracture rather than a dozen police who could clearly see the bleeding walking over/past him. This is very well within the scope of basic first aid training to start calling for more advanced medical help.
It looked like the dumbass touched the cop’s gun. It wasn’t much of a push but I guess the guy lost his balance.
As they walked past him they should have kicked him ... make an example out of him for the rest of the trash. The longer we pussyfoot around the longer this craps gonna last.
==== What part of ‘stand back’ did the guy on the ground misunderstand? ======
Exactly. That was a pretty weak push by the cop toward someone who was disobeying lawful orders and actually reached out to touch the cop.
Some people like police states. I don’t. If someone confiscates your guns and then spits, rifle butts, and laughs at you on their way out, don’t complain about it then.
You will find out that the man that fell used fake blood ... a stunt ...this is a war ... wake up.
That’s not fake blood.
I feel bad for the old guy but he advanced on the police and shoved an object (his phone?) into one cops face and then smacked the other cops arm twice with it. No No.
