I've spoken with Buffalo @MayorByronBrown and we agree that the officers involved should be immediately suspended pending a formal investigation.— Andrew Cuomo June 5, 2020 Mayor Byron Brown tweeted called the incident"disheartening" and said his thoughts were with the victim.
ELDERLY LIVES MATTER ! The 57 + who support Elder Abuse should turn in their badges ! Buffalo57 TurnInYourBadges BPDElderAbuse NaNaNaNaHeyHeyHeyGoodbye
Terrible. Where are we heading as mankind? Aren't 3 officers involved? Why only 2? All religions failed. Corona sweeping out the entire mankind is the only way for humanity to reboot on this planet? BillGates BarackObama Pontifex
Only suspended? They should be fired to malign police department.
Should be Sacked 😤😤
We need police who are not afraid of the people or not able to control their angry of the public
Fire them! And anyone who sides with such illegal action let them go!!
Americans stand with the officers not the liberal fools destroying the state
They are all the problem. Good riddance. How can they not see the error? Could've resulted in 3rd degree murder.
Thank you to the 2 soldiers in camo (army?) who did stop to help him. The Police just walked on by and left him bleeding on the ground. Perhaps we would be safer with the army on the streets than the police?
Good! They should resign all together! If they think that behaviour was ok, they are on the wrong career path.
Bravo to the police officers who supported the officers that did what they were trained to do!!!!!!!!
Assaulting a 75 year old man...are you kidding me? Then, lying about it? Law enforcement is out of control! We need to pass legislation to stop this madness. Law enforcement has not been responsible with their powers, so let's reduce them.
Should suspend all cops
These out of control maniacs need to be arrested for assault! I am more disgusted with this country than I have ever been!
As if union workers are going to stop and clean that up.
The elite, who fund most of the entertainment industry, have an agenda to turn our country into a dystopic hell. They are dividing us to implement their 'new world order'. Don't go after the order following cops, pursue the corrupt politicians that bow down to the elite.
criminal charges needed max sentence prison no question no excuses no explanation no spin no doubt on video
Not enough
This picture is disgusting
JuliaDavisNews What about others who didn’t even try to help this man, who just walked past?
In Nigeria. It's all About this
So now change the news to Excessive force instead of Racism ..
'Buffalo Soldiers' they're aint.
Depressing how I could predict the colour of the man before seeing the pictures. The media always seem to feel the need to say 'a black man' but for a white man it's just 'a man'. Hopefully one day all reports will just say 'a man' 🤞

They were suspended? The point is, after this happened...the report stated that he tripped and fell. The police MO for covering their criminal behavior. There is no accountability! They should be fired! If I did that, they would arrest me!
How is the older man? And suspended? INCARCERATED is where they should be. It's a FELONY last I knew to assault an elderly person. I think it applies to Law Enforcement too, since they're not above the law.
Police are not responsible for their own actions.
Yeah, and then fired and CHARGED!!!!! It better be. 👊🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
“Don’t believe the rumors that America is a bad place or there’s bad people everywhere. I’ve come across just good people. Some live in the country. Some live in the city. Everyone’s very similar. I think we’re more alike than we are different.”
Thank you Gov. Cuomo for the way you manage your state. You are an inspiration. You give me hope your country will be great again.
Prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
Ending qualified immunity will mean officers who break the law like these fuckers will actually get arrested like a civilian would. Keep recording them. Keep demanding accountability. Sign the petition. Contact your congress member about it.
It is more than 'a few bad apples'. The police infrastructure is corrupted. From the top down. The only way is complete police reform and a zero tolerance bill keeping police honest and accountable.
He didn't just hit his head on the sidewalk! He fell hard, went Iimp and blood started to pool immediately. And the crowd of cops around him did nothing!
AudreyGarden but naturally, their police union will claim that it was the old man's fault.......
Are they being charged with assault?
Hit his head. You could hear his skull fracture in the video... It is sickening. Police violence is out of control. Imagine what happens when the cameras aren't rolling. PoliceThePolice JusticeReformNow PoliceBrutality PoliceViolence PoliceReform
FridayRevivalService Prepare the way Messiah is coming
Fired not good enough anymore. If I pushed an older man over and cracked his skull open I would be in prison for life.
Now they must be fired and charged with assault and elderly abuse.
They should have been fired not suspended!
You are fake news and the enemy of the people
Blatant disregard for human life!
SUSPENDED?! THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT!
Absolutely shameful and with all I have seen this last week it is not just a few bad apples
FIRED. And charged with assault. That’s what we want, that’s justice.
They need to be fired. No mixed messages, the police aggression should not stand. Dude was 75 FFS, how dangerous was he?!
Suspended? Wtf? He needs to get fired! And banned for public service! The ones around should be suspended for not doing anything!
corybarlog If somebody did this to the police what would the punishment be?
The police should be arrested for criminal assault, lock them up.
We need to severely punish lying by officers. A) criminal sanction for clear filing of false reports, B) where a police agency is insured, it is insurance fraud.
How about in Alanta when an officer pushed a woman & she broke a clavicle, Caught live on CNN.
i have no mercy to the old man. Law is law. If everyone does the same thing like him, the country will never have order, which is exactly certain people want. He simply shouldn’t be there.
So police are suspended for suspended because older guy lost his balance while pushed while those who hurt police are arrested and let free? How is that equal justice. It’s bad that he got hurt but he had a part to that event as well. Then you say DA looking at charges, really?
NYGovCuomo just said he spoke to the victim this morning. Thank God he's on the mend.
This happens in America on a regular basis.History of local police:Pinkertons were some of the 1st.Hired by theUltraRich to keep their abused workforce in steel mills,etc in-line.PrivatePolice at the beck&call of the1%ended up murdering unarmed workers wanting under72hrs/wk.
Only two? What about those that just walked by him while he lay bleeding on the ground?
Did you notice that not a single cop checked on the man?
Trump thinks that is okay.
They should also be punished for submitting a false report. Now any case they've testified in is suspect.
FUCKING COWARDS
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
We need their names
Is there any doubt that if this were a black man the article would surely mention his race?
cnn how do the police actually think that they can get away with these lies? To say that man tripped and fell, Come on!
Acosta They should be fired and charged with assault, at the very least.
What ever happened to “Protect and Serve?”
why did he do that ? Is there anything like respect for an older person in THAT COUNTRY CALL AMERICA ?
Suspended without pay? What's going on? These pigs should be arrested and punished severely.
Acosta Two Doctors, Nurses, X-ray Techs, Respiratory Therapist, Food service, Cashiers, Janitorial workers, Carpenters, Plumbers, etc. WOULD BE FIRED! REMOVED! Immediately.
Disgusting, why not report this man was elderly and white. Police training needs to change. how about the ongoing prejudice from all levels of society towards elderly?thousands Upon thousands of elderly have died in past 3 months and continue to die.Where is outrage!
Acosta That’s aggravated assault. Intent to cause serious bodily injury. Police use that charge anytime the slightest physical contact is made by a defendant they don’t like. Bc the vagueness of the statute. They use it as a hammer. Elevate simple assault to agg assault all the time.
Fascist punks.
Not normal
Gather the police lied that he tripped & fell. The fact is the police are a product of a system rigged against many. This level of violence and lying are taught young. Time seems to be catching up with them but change will certainly not happen fast enough
For police to assault an elderly man and leave him laying there, if they have learned nothing from this movement is that Police Brutality is never an option. That man was not attacking or assaulting them. The police assaulting him was uncalled for.
Was that old guy reaching for his gun?
I don't understand how it's always mentioned on US media that members of the police are suspended... This is assault, caught on video, how are the two aggressors suspended instead of charged? This is not even worth mentioning!
THIS IS NOT EQUAL RIGHTS! THAT IS ASSULT. People are yelling AllLivesMattter well obviously not... seems to me that BlueLivesMatters more. MURDER IS MURDER, ASSULT IS ASSULT!! Fact : a thing that is known or proved to be true.
If there was black police they'd fired
I hear Kevin Hart. They gone learn today.
Real good BPD, what's your problem, you guys must love protest. The ones involved should be charged. THIS CAN'T KEEP HAPPENING!
They need to be fired and charged with assault
They should be fired!
How about an attempted murder charge and leaving the scene of the crime or all the complicit cops just watching. The driver in robbery gets the same charge as the one who actually committed the crime. The same rules should apply to police.
What about that 3rd lieutenant with golden badge, coming behind and pushing the 2 officers? Thats just bad practice. The 2 officers should have turned around and told their manager. Please wait a minute, im talking with a client. We been treated like CATTLE. They are hoarding us
Why aren’t they arrested and fired?
CNN doesn't report on the hero officers stabbed and shot during the riots. Biased news. This is a sick organization.
Man tripped until video came out 🙄 Sad it's never your word against the police, you need video proof or you're a liar. 🤬 This has got to end!
I use to like watching cnn but overethe past couple years your network is so negative it depresses me. You have so much hate in the reporting. I’ve switched to fox. They appear so much more educated than cnn reporters. Tune in and learn esp the females
And what about the other 20 BPD that just walked by a 75 yr old unconsious in his own pool of blood
Someone needs knock their heads on the concrete
Police brutality isn’t a race issue...“Disenfranchised white” btw is a racist term to umbrella any negativity against caucasians. Focusing on cause & effect relationships, or burn( punch walls) until your opinions are taken as fact?
is the EnemyOfThePeople
Good news and hopefully not a trick of the system 🙏
You spelled fired wrong
look at the size of that guy he is massive i would have done the same sorry
He did not trip he was pushed backwards clearly and he was bleeding from his ear and they just looked and walked on it was unbelievable and we see this from the uk btw
No reason cops don't all have body cams. Money has never been the issue.
NAH ARREST THEM BLUEFALL
NYGovCuomo ananavarro ChrisCuomo What about the other officers that looked at him and walked by while he was bleeding out onto the sidewalk? BPDAlerts what in actual fuck he's 75 yrs old, stable serious condition, this is blood on all officers hands that looked & walked by!
egoldie80 Makes you wonder why the NFL never put the sound out to this with all these QB's showing there True Colors 👀
Only 2, other seeing him on the ground are animals.
Fan the flames who cares right
Bullies never ever allowed. But don't stand there. Go stand between the two concrete balls. You'd still be there. 75 years old.
Way too many sidewalk lawyers out there. If you have an issue with police...record it and take it up later with the city. NEVER try to play attorney with a cop on the street. NEVER.
They release a memo saying he tripped. They didnt know about the video yet. Cops exist to protect themselves first and foremost. They dont care about us.
Based on initial video, police issued a statement that said the man tripped and fell. After more videos became available, police amended that statement, the officers were suspended and the department opened an investigation.
