NEW YORK (AP) — The latest night of protests in New York City sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of police was markedly calmer, while video of a police officer appearing to shove an elderly protester who falls and cracks his head in Buffalo drew widespread condemnation.

whatcha gonna do
when they come for you?
"showed a Buffalo police officer appearing to push the 75-year-old man "
There’s no “appearing” about it.
I understand that this is just grabbing a news feed most likely, but something like [sic] after the word would not be out of line.
Grampa is no angel, he has probably done a lot of bad things during those 75 years…probably was a hippie in the 60s. But yeah, that is another reason why we need to deploy the 101st Airborne to deal with them antifa old farts.
This is HORRIFYING, yes BUT wait there’s more. Not sure what the date is but it is an example of the day to day issues that are being protested against right now.

This is one reason why people are protesting. Imagine if that were you. The police have the person subdued. People of color are typically treated unfairly in all areas of life.

The K9 cop should be fired on mere incompetence, let alone the violation of civil rights that went with it.
The cops claim that “we have EMTs on scene” which doesn’t justify their actions, but not one of them calls the EMTs over when it’s obvious they should.
Cuomo, what the hell are you going to do about your corrupt, incompetent staties?
Was the violence against the peaceful, white haired gentleman reprehensible? Yes, of course. But what compounds the the awfulness of this incident exponentially is that the police immediately lied about the circumstances in their official report – until having to backtrack because (yet again) there was video evidence of what really happened.
Wait for it …

Elder abuse charges? There’s a late night tv attorney ad for that.
Boy this should set him off

I saw the video last night and it was horrifying. While Trump refers to peaceful protestors as terrorists, the real terrorism is being committed by the police in cities all over the country.
Supplicate for yer pardon, bunkerbitches.
The word on Reddit was that the older gentleman was trying to return a riot helmet that he found to the Police. I don’t know if that’s accurate, but you can see something that looks like a riot helmet in his hand.
Irregardless, good God, what is wrong with these people?
FaKe nEws. StAgeD by antifA. Packets Of ketChup.
Nothing can excuse this behavior.
And nothing will be satisfactory as a result except the immediate firing of the two officers who pushed the man to the pavement—and the firing of the 15 or so who walked past the bleeding senior citizen and did nothing to help.
Hope these guys get their pants sued off.
The staties are with antifa? How deep does the resistance run?
Trump and the police have a lot in common. They LIE a lot.
Oh yeah and it appears not only did the ex cop’s son shoot Ahmaud Arbery, he called him a fu*king NIg . They also hit him with their pickup while chasing him before shooting him:
The testimony of Richard Dial , a special agent with the GBI, included several newsworthy items, including that Travis McMichael had called Arbery a “fing n*r” after he had shot him and before the police arrived.
In the Glynn County courtroom Thursday, Dial described how investigators had examined Bryan’s pickup truck and found a dent, white cloth fibers from Arbery’s shirt, and handprints.
According to Dial, Arbery managed to briefly escape after Bryan’s truck hit him and run in a different direction before the McMichaels and Bryan blocked him with their vehicles again. That was when the fatal altercation occurred
Essentially, they hunted him down and killed him in broad daylight.
Even more frightening in the video - after the man falls backwards and hits his head, police leave him on the ground and walk over and around the fallen man. WTF!
