Sometimes these police officers act as if their job is more important than the lives of the citizenry they’re supposed to protect. Look at what just happened in Buffalo.
A 75-year-old man took to the street in support of the nationwide George Floyd protests. He stood in front of a group of approaching Buffalo police officers and without provocation, was pushed to the ground splitting his head open.
Buffalo’s Mayor Byron Brown said the officers have also been suspended without pay.
Brown went on to say:
“Tonight, after a phsical altercation between two separate groups of protesters participating in an illegal demonstration beyond the curfew, two Buffalo Police officers knocked down an 75-year-old man. The victim is in stable but serious condition at ECMC. I was deeply disturbed by the video, as was Police Commissioner Byron Lockwood. He directed an immediate investigation into the matter and the two officers have been suspended without pay.”
