A companion of William C. Sager Jr. called 911 early Sunday to report Sager was being harassed inside Molly’s Pub by the management and two off-duty police officers.
Soon after that call, Sager was thrown down a set of stairs and placed in handcuffs while out cold.
Then, still in handcuffs and bleeding from the ears and mouth, he was dragged out on the sidewalk, a short distance from the bar. When a friend tried to intervene, he was placed under arrest.
Later, when on-duty police responded, they found an internal surveillance tape from Molly’s in the trash nearby.
These new details emerged Friday as a wave of Buffalo police officers, troubled by the events at 3199 Main St. five days ago, shared what they knew. A Sager family member also confirmed much of what others told The News.
Sager, who was to be married in July, remains in the intensive care unit at Erie County Medical Center, unaware of his surroundings. Police and people who have visited him say there is little chance he will recover from his severe brain injury.
These reports suggest that at least one of the off-duty officers inside Molly’s Pub early Sunday was more than a passive observer to the beating.
The off-duty officer retrieved his handcuffs so they could be clicked around Sager’s wrists. He then complained to responding officers about Sager’s friend, who was arrested.
Said one cop: “Why would an off-duty officer put handcuffs on an unconscious man?”

Just about any workplace. Standard procedure... accident=pee in the cup every time
But such loyalty to the U.S.A. is waning, as more and more law-impaired officers brush aside the sovereignty of the people, and answer only to a paycheck from the socialists.
It is not a pretty sight.
Officers are split, sharply, between those who would uphold the law, and those who march to the beat of the "security" in the nationalizing socialism which is taking over the A.F.L.-C.I.O.
A good cop should get the front page of the newspaper, as a tribute to his or her doing the right thing. And a bad cop should get the front page of the newspaper, the story, that is, of their losing their job.
Good cops deserve our respect, and bad cops deserve "the door," and political endorsements should be prohibited.
Police and Firemen elect to take the most stringent of civic duties requiring self-restraint. Each day, they must walk a tight rope above a tight ship, while the rest of us get a little slack ... or are such slackers that we could not punch out a chad with a sledge-hammer and a chisel.
It's the same as walking the straight line in combat --- never slacking off, remaining true to your business at hand, focused upon the objective, determined; or "somebody else pays for it." The grim business of taking a bullet for somebody else, when it's your time; and in the world, the grim business of taking a bullet "for society."
A society which cares for what? Half of whom obviously don't care to know the truth, what are the statutes, what is the rule of law, how important the rule of law is as a surrounding strength of public resolve, with which we maintain an even strain in our statutes.
A society which thinks the Boy Scouts are the bad guys. A society which does not care enough for truth, that it will tolerate the endless show of lies --- the daily gruel of "the liberal media." A society which is so guilty with its own shortcomings, that it welcomed an opportunity to be "blessed" by "President" Clinton's remark that he "did not 'sleep' with that woman."
God bless the good cops; and as for the rest, you can't leave soon enough.
Perfect example of why cops should not be taking money as employees from anyone but the municipality or state that authorizes them to carry a weapon.
That they can exercise powers of arrest and life and death at the behest of Loopy O’Slurredspeech Bar N Grill is inherently corrupt.
It also says in the article Buffalo cops aren’t allowd to work security for bars, so why haven’t they been fired yet?
All moonlighting cops working “security” should be fired. You shouldn’t be able to hire private police in this country. What are we, Brazil? Not yet, I hope.
Yeah, they made short work of him....
I thought fiorinal and fioricet were non narcotic?
Video: Cop Causes Man To Lose Testicle During Traffic Stop
http://www.infowars.com/video-cop-causes-man-to-lose-testicle-during-during-traffic-stop/
I watched a bunch of conventioning cops sweet talk the local cops out of arresting their drunk buddy after he sexually attacked a waitress at a bar.
Guess this guy didn’t get the memo about never calling the cops.
Amen! A private company hires a cop who wears the government uniform and has all the powers of his job that he uses for the private company against private citizens. Here in Houston they’re always out directing traffic in front of businesses. They stop traffic where there is no stop sign. That should be against the law. If the powers that be think a stop sign should be there, or a traffic light, then put one there.
I watched a constable scream at an old lady one day at one of these locations. I followed her home and told her I’d be a witness if she wanted to file a complaint. She was scared half to death and said she would not file a complaint. So, I called the Constable’s office and they denied they had a cop working at that location. Damned liars!
You are correct...they are a barbituate. Says don’t operate machinery...stuff like that. I used to suck ot up and go to work after taking it. Now I wouldn’t dare. Even though I have a scrip...if something happened, the city or the insurance company could hang you out to dry.
Buffalo Police Brutality 4/24/2014
A cop in that case, Officer John Cirulli, will resign and take a plea to two misdemeanor charges.
After he resigns, The New York city Police Department will hire him.
Pavlovian stupidity?
Corrupt police officers should get the death penalty, and they will, for all eternity. Police unions, like teacher unions, are part of the problem.
Cops should not work security. Security is by nature mercenary work. It is totally different thinking and goals.
In both cases the citizenry is paying another party to do a tedious and sometimes risky task instead of performing it themselves.
The ONLY difference is in who is invoicing the pay stub.
Sorry, but i do security. Our primary task is to serve the client, and his will, not law. The job of cop and security are nothing alike. My source of authority is from the client and his rights. A cop’s is from the state. On property, i can do things a cop can’t. Off client property, my orders don’t mean shit.
Utter fail.
I reject the primary leftist tenet which you have absorbed and made your own, which posits that the state has authority not derived from the citizenry.
Semantics. I’m not after the debate of where a cop’s authority comes from, though I flat out agree with you about that.
My only point was the differences between a cop and security. And why a cop does not belong doing both.
