Buffalo, N.Y. tactical team quits to protest colleagues’ suspension for pushing senior man to ground: reports

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.A view shows a chalk outline marking the area where a Buffalo man was knocked to the ground by police while protesting against the death in Minneapolis police custody of George Floyd, in Niagara Square, in Buffalo, N.Y., on June 5, 2020.

Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown told CNN on Friday that contingency plans were in place to address any policing issues due to the resignations and he said state troopers were embedded with Buffalo police to shore up their operations. The video footage raised further questions about police behaviour, after the death of African-American man George Floyd in Minneapolis set off nationwide street protests.

“You see that video and it disturbs your basic sense of decency and humanity,” Cuomo told a daily briefing. “Why, why, why was that necessary? Where was the threat?”

Resign if you have any guts! robots!

This is how police support bad actions. The problem will be difficult to correct when police support bad actions.

Wish all bad cops would resign like these bad cops.

To be clear, still on the force with full pay - just quit being on the ass-kicking unit.

Seeing essential public sector employees protest during a BLM protest and the ongoing pandemic, it seems like these groups have a common interest. They’re less interested in pursuing change than they are in drawing attention to themselves. Like Trudeau taking a knee for example.

Bravo!!! 👏👏👏 Now, is missing all the agresors in more than 250 videos around twitter right now.

Their parents must be shaking their heads and be wondering where they went wrong.

Perhaps they should consider resigning from the force altogether to really demonstrate that they felt that what happened aligned with their values..to serve and protect

Hi, I'm trying to get as close as a 5,000 ppl sample with little time left, hence the spam :-( my apologies. Please answer & RT if possible. You can undo it later. Thanks! . . . unexit

Old man fell badly after being pushed weakly.

Good riddance

Great. No more beatings.

So... problem solved?

59 bad cops just outed themselves.

Their superintendent/chief can turn things around quickly by accepting their resignations from the tactical team AND NOT replacing them. Overnight, that would demilitarize the Buffalo police. A crisis is not to be wasted.

Nice misleading headline . Do better! These officers didn’t quit their jobs. They quit the crowd control team they were on because they’re not allowed to beat up old people. FakeNewsAlert

8:46: A number becomes a potent symbol of police brutality8 minutes and 45 seconds -- the amount of time George Floyd was pinned to the ground -- is becoming a powerful numerical symbol in protests that continue across the U.S. so many single people do not have any goal in own life all of them loser like myself in expensive country Get back to us when you tell us how many blacks were murdered in Chicago last weekend. Oh wait, those lives don't matter. Communists and their F**ed up rituals. What a joke. I'm glad this will be on film. When the hangover comes from this massive brainwashing, lots of angry people will be looking for answers. Maybe a little revenge/justice as well. I'd hate to be on the wrong side of that train.

Tear gas, outrage, solidarity: Scenes from the protests against racism across the U.S. - Macleans.caPhotographers on the ground during protests and riots across the U.S. capture images of pain, resilience and the aftermath of police brutality Why does the MSM continuously try to make things worse? They apparently want to turn the anger and hatred and violence up to 11. Is it be design? Why no story on the Police who were killed or injured. Or innocent people who were killed or injured. Why no story of the fire that killed a family of 5 children because protesters wouldn’t let the firefighters in? Why does the MSM continuously try to make things worse? They apparently want to turn the anger and hatred and violence up to 11. Is it by design?
