State governor says Buffalo incident in which elderly man’s head hit the pavement hard is ‘utterly disgraceful’

Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, have been suspended without pay after a video showed them pushing a 75-year-old man to the ground, as protests over the police killing of George Floyd continued into their 10th night.

Push? No, they murdered him!! 😡

They should be arrested, not just suspended.

Suspended what a joke he should be jailed

Suspended?! It’s assault!!!

Fire him!!!!

Good. But they just do it again and again don't they. They shoot, they kill, they push, they injure. They are just thugs. Even when they know there are cameras everywhere now. Still they do it.

Don’t they understand the police is working for the people?

That cop should be charged for abh

MOST cops in America are NOTHING MORE than 'mindless' bullies. The standard of entry in the police force needs to be reviewed and DRASTICALLY updated. That's the ONLY way to end or reduce PoliceBrutality PoliceReform

City of Buffalo New York Deep blue since 1966

Only Suspended? They tried to cover it up and they’re only suspended?

And what about the police who walked past and did nothing to help the man?

Good! Peaceful protests should be allowed, rioters and looters are despicable criminals but the police should always be held to higher standard than the criminals

Sick...totally sick

Sorry, but is this REALLY news?

... и переведены.... в сиэтл

Suspension isn’t enough. Horrific.

The Us should finally admit and change there branding. Land of the free was always a cover up, it’s a police state with fascist tendency emerging into full fascist.

'Suspended'. Won't be long until they're back, then.

The us police is like terror organisation.

He needs to be arrested for attempted manslaughter.

Pushed and marched over the man.

👏🏾👏🏾 Step 2: fired🤨 Step 3: charged🤨 Step 4: prosecuted🤨 Step 5: incarcerated🤨 ... You know, treated just like anybody else without a badge!!

With a President 5/6th Zionist New Orthodox dodgy Jew-ish real-estate developer.... US Police seem more than ever inclined to copy their Racist, misogynist Israeli counter-parts.. .....in displays of loathing/intimidation/brutalising/bullying ....and in-house protectionism

This elderly gent doesn’t look black, yet he was subject to the casual police brutality often seen from the police. Do they train their recruits on extreme video games? No rules no consequences? Officers at every level twist the truth, lie to the public. It’s now being recorded!

That makes me so upset!🙏😪🌏✌🏻✌🏿

NY police suspended compared to South Africa where the army beat up and sjambok-whipped a black man to death and yet the murderers were not charged let alone reprimanded

这是谋杀吧

So they aren’t being charged with adult for almost killing a senior citizen? Kool

I'm amazed at how some officers can't see the consequences of their actions, remember there were many there who didn't knock this man. I wonder who inspired him or what orange being got inside his head?

To the police, these protests mean a chance to abuse their powers further by pushing, knocking, running over, and torturing innocent civilians. I remember how the conservatives criticized Iran for attacking protesters. Now America is doing the same thing and they're condoning it

😭😭STOP All KNEE NECKING GEORGE FLOYD, Indigenous, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia,Nigeria, India,Pakistan,Iraq,Iran,Libya, Serbia,Yugoslavia,Lebanon,Palestine,Bolivia,Chile,Korea,Vietnam,Nicaragua,Cuba,Venezuela👺👺Famine,Health, Education, Refugee, Planet,JULIAN ASSANGE✊🏻✊🏻

One went to help but was prevented by another officer

Great now arrest him for assault

Suspended? Wow okay

Just seen that, horrific

This is shocking!! Not that I'm a fan of the police, but you can't compare the British Police to the Americans, our Police force would never of done that, they definitely wouldn't of just marched on and not administered first aid!!! AllLivesMattter

And the police say he tripped and fell.

Suspended? What a joke! That physically assaulted that poor elderly man. Such a disgusting disgrace! They need to be charged for their criminal behavior!

Juiced up gung-ho gestapo, just bludgeoning anything in their way.

London Police Officer suspended for defending himself...

I saw the video and it didn’t look good. Blood came out of his ear. Literally streaming out of his ear..any updates about the old man?

А что рука высокого спортивного мужчины делала возле обмундирования офицера? Он хотел отнять пистолет?

The worst part is, they tried to cover it up. The original statement said that be slipped and accidentally bumped his head, it was only when the video emerged that they accepted the truth that he was assaulted by 2 officers.

There must be 30 police officers there. Not one of them did the right thing.

'Look here, don't look there...' Can't see the problem with Antifa? - cus you are Antifa? Arrests coming. EXPOSEANTIFA

Good, any news about the two driving SUVs over people?

It’s a good thing there’s only a few bad cops and all the good ones came to help the old man up

Every single one of those officers who watched and did nothing is complicit. I keep banging on about this but he was returning one of their helmets.

“Police later said that a man was injured after tripping and falling” can we have a little more detailed context of that report (lie). By which channel was it communicated? was it made before or after the 11.5m views? I’m curious.

The silly old fool shouldn’t of been in their faces waving his arms around like a big man. Got what he deserved

Suspended? Charged, arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned is what should happen

Shocking action by the police . someone peacefully entering their ranks , politely asking questions and pointing at their weapons . PoliceBrutality PoliceBrutalityPandemic

The police are out of control. Who guards the guards

No way it should’ve been the officer in charge of that unit that should’ve been reprimanded he was the one telling them to ignore the guy ☹️

D E F U N D T H E P O L I C E They need to fire the 15% of cops w/ the most complaints NOW, then fire the 15% w/ most complaints in the next year so they start ratting on each other. Use the $$ to fund services that will prevent crime. Chant this:

US using excessive and disproportionate force and killing its own people. Urgent need “humanitarian intervention”. Where is the “human rights brigade”? Hypocrisy

Serious question.... are American officers trained to behave like this?

You have to be kidding! Only SUSPENDED. Why not summarily dismissed and charged for physical assault of a citizen

I’m very pleased that the odious police officer has been suspended but it is amazing that it was a swifter result, as had it been a black older man would the same swiftness occurred?

You mean for breaking his head?

Why don’t you cover the black on huwhite violence? It seems to be rampant during these riots?

They should be charged instantly. Was no need for that at all.

I hope this one has too.

The penalty for assault & battery is suspension.

Just suspended. GBH OR ABH. Charge them and make more officers and officials accountable for their actions.

The indifference shown afterwards is the worst part.

What this man is there? No fault fom the police LawAndOrder That man should be home ( risk person)

What about all his colleagues who did nothing?

I'd say 'Buffalo' or 'New York state' so it doesn't sound like New York city

Deserved it.

Good, and now let’s see them charged with aggravated assault.

How many are suspended who are NOT caught on video?
