Buffalo cops shoved an elderly man, causing him to hit his head on the ground and start bleeding.

-- The Buffalo Police Commissioner just announced both officers in the incident have been suspended.

Some cops in Buffalo shoved an elderly man, who lost his balance, and hit his head on the concrete ... laying motionless and bleeding from his ear. Protesters filled Niagara Square Thursday night to protest the death of George Floyd and injustices in our legal system. Officers, dressed in heavy gear, started to move in on the crowd while the elderly man approached and started a non-physical confrontation with some of the cops.

An officer from the group shouts"Move!" at the man and then proceeded to push him, causing him to stumble back and fall over., you can see blood surround the man's head almost immediately as he lay motionless ... and officers call for a medic. A rep for the Buffalo Police Department allegedly told a local reporter the man was injured when he"tripped and fell." His condition is currently unknown.

bufsportfan82 He deserved it

And what was he trying to do to them? You people are for everything evil and nothing right!

The cop who hit the old man turned back a few steps when he realized the man was bleeding But then he pretended he was not involving, then he is about to leave him... Really horrible

Why are you cluttering the feed with a story about a white man, when the focus is on BLACK lives matter!

This is the demeanour that needs to go. All the officers who just walked passed him should also be lumped in. It is unacceptable to look away from bad behavior

Now you all get it how some Cop over react and hurt or kill people hell the man was 75 years old what a threat only in this country America .Mr. President pass a law making Cop spend life in prison for wrongful death this will stop all of the B.S .

stay at home

Bull Shit ! I live in buffalo my whole life and the cops here have always been bullies.

They need to be charged

And this is why people hate cops...don’t they get it or they just don’t care.

Shocker! Police beat up a white man, happens everyday in Baltimore

Yo tmz where all the article’s in the police killed and injured Or the retired cop killed protecting his friend’s shop

Does anyone know if the man is ok . 😢

DISGUSTING & DISTURBING!!! 🤬🤬

😠🤬

This absolutely disgusts me to no end ever heard of respect your elders. They obviously have no respect for anyone. If you want respect you have to give it first.

No

Pass-out the Ordnance to the public and SEE

😠😠😠😠😠

So sad I hope he pulls through, and police are charged with assault and battery . There’s no reason for this brutal force on anyone no matter what age gender or race🤬

What about a bunch of dicks The one policeman was going to see him after he realized he was bleeding, but the other pushed him ahead . Wtf has happened to America Oh don’t answer that Mr Trump happened he’s brought nothing but hatred and filth to this Country

No excuse ! He is 75 years old and not a physical threat !

Can we just start shooting them?

They're just trying to protect and serve. The elites agenda that is...

Wow and just left him their. That cop that wanted to help him should’ve stood up to the other cop.. that’s what’s wrong with these good cops they let the bad ones control them.

The least they could have done after knocking jis head on the pavement, is check on him to make sure he's not hurt

They to ruff and the cop need time off to relax due to stress

Play stupid games, win stupid prize...

I hope he's okay that was an awful thing to do to that poor man

What was he doing?

Legal bullies it just goes to show they love authority and lack common sense!

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Heartbreaking. I hope this man is ok.

Don't go to a riot 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

I'm sending all elderly and children to riot that will show them lol

Please give it arrest. Why did “Elderly” man accost the police?

And they don’t immediately offer him ANY aid

BPDAlerts and no officers hired to protect and serve offered any assistance. But the flock to the other protester with the sign.

I find it interesting that so many white ppl aren’t outraged by this but instead blame him and say he deserved it. Every black person would have raised hell if this had happened to one of their own why can’t all of u do/feel the same? ☹️

Stay home and you won’t get hurt!!!! Simple

😡😡😡😡😡

He needs to get fired.

He should have backed up he is part of the problem. TMZ fueling the fire. These riots are out of control and white people shouting BLM is ridiculous!

Find out where these cops live. So we can send them a nice bouquet of roses of course..

Terrorists not cops

The headline is a misprint. The correct one should read...Elderly man assaults cops. Cops push elderly man back. Elderly man falls and hits head. Cops see he’s bleeding and call medic to assist cop assaulting elder man.

If you are a police officer surrounded by other officers, and you feel threatened by an elderly man walking towards you enough that you push him to the ground, you shouldn't be a fucking police officer.

So glad TMZ is on this one. this makes my stomach cringe.

American police hace a serious issue with thuggery 😳

Fortunately or unfortunately hes white

It's brutality! That's what u ppl don't get. They are brutal all the time and it's got to stop. They are all about blue. You not a cop you getting smacked.

Continuing Cuomos war on old people in NY

That's another unethical public murder....but still it's not accounted....

I see it now, the “elderly man” just wanted the officer to autograph a helmet. That’s why he was poking at the officer’s belt with one hand and holding a helmet in the other hand. He was asking the officer if he had a pen in his belt. Buffalo

and they are doing this to americans imagine what they did to middle easterns🤔

I watched TMZ to get away from serious news.for first time in my life I was glad for comercials

When did TMZ become like cnn.i haven't watched in a long time until now.i guess I made a mistake.back to other shows.

Wow! Home sweet home! Doesn’t surprise me, at all!

No protest for the elderly huh? 🤔

They don’t deserve the title officer Let’s call these MONSTERS what they are TrumpsGestapo Namethemandshamethem

At this point, officials and the media have no right to criticize protesters/rioters for looting or burning buildings unless they also fairly criticize police childish acts.

People need to learn HumanRights

honestly cops are more harm than good to the society

Wait, Y'all said you wanted a Boomerremover right? WTF

Omg what

TheNotoriousMMA is it you ?

When is enough going to be enough?

Update

This has barley made headlines so far sad this is the real problem police cannot have this kind of attitude the ill beat the shit out of you attitude we have to change the way we police and train police

Democrat run city's' fellas. George Floyd was murdered in a Democrat run city.

Where’s your coverage of DavidDorn ? biased yournarrative rip

Those cops are the terrorists!

yourbros22 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼🥺🥺🥺🥺

They did NOT need to push him!!! What if that were your dad or grandpa!!! He was protesting for rights!!

I can’t take it. There was no reason for this man to be pushed back like that. I am glad they called immediately for a medic. I pray that the man recovers quickly. PoliceBrutality

Wtf!!!!!!! And ALL the cops were just walking right past him as he lay there not moving and bleeding!!!!! Fuck!!!!!

If they are where the riots and violent people are then it can happen and it's sad but it does happen. Do not be around these areas cause we will be mistaken for the ugly crowd. For police we all look alike

Buffalo? You sure?

Assholes

ramiroisaiah

ARREST THEM. FIRE THEM. CONVICT THEM. LET THEIR OWN PENSIONS PAY FOR ANY AND ALL FINANCIAL DAMAGES.

I mean white people who grew up in the streets know better than to charge the police, he must have believed he had that MAGIC WHITE PRIVILEGE we all know doesn’t really exist

why tf are there people in the comments supporting this shit... wtf is this world... someone throw it in a dustbin, smh😪🚮

Let’s call these MONSTERS what they are TrumpsGestapo

I hope he’s ok. Does anyone know?

Cops Coppin RyanHurley2

Amazing to see fucking losers defending the cops...

the amount of people defending the cops in this WRONG situation is disgusting.

It was staged

STOP RECORDING AND START HELPING‼️

He was handing them a police helmet back ....suspended from duties? They should have been fired.

Cringe

Officer name: AARON TORGALSKI

Saw this posted somewhere .... 🤔

Fire and charge the officer and suspend those that did nothing! PROTECT AND SERVE! That is their oath, they caused this and did nothing, there was no other 'danger' to attend to except that man dying!

FireHimandTheLot because they all stood there and didn’t care to stop their colleague or check in the man.

This was unfortunate. Think of your Grand dad

Stupid old man

Gcizzy1 When would this brutality stop

What the hell is happening?🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

PaulMor87906902 That was wrong the man did break curfew but she shouldn’t push around an elderly man my heart felt feelings go out to him please officer should’ve taken a different tactic

WTF!? In addition to the officer that shoved him, how many other officers did NOTHING to help him as he bled from his head, shaking on the ground. This is shameful.

TheBuffaloNews

Don’t forget to report on the fact that they said he “tripped and fell”

How did that happen He’s white!!! I thought police only do things to black people!

Buffalo get it together! WTF! Why isn’t anyone helping this man? This is why police have a bad rap! YOU!

Was really just an unfortunate set of circumstances ..nothing really to see ..and since he’s not black ..it will be forgotten soon anyways. Only black lives matter today.

The police in the US are really not doing themselves any favours are they, as if their reputation wasn’t bad enough already?

This really pisses me off 😡this elderly man was pushed by this police 👮‍♀️, he could’ve die and this is police brutality. Aren’t these cops learning after RIP George Floyd ✝️

They need to be arrested and charged!!!!

Flicking animals

Is there someone out there compiling all the footage of all the police attacks and shootings from Mr Floyd's murder onward?

Buffalo Police department has had a problem for years. This is the outcome when a Police Officer crosses the thin blue line and STOPS Police Brutality. She lost her career and pension, but he didn’t lose his life. Her story

SavagesWithBadges

He was trying to give back there helmet. The is so sad and disgusting.

They want the murderers to keep their jobs so that they can continue to murder

ALL police should have to take a class where they listen to mentally ill people speak about the times they were abused by the police in detail. I feel this might be what happened here. Regardless, pds can’t be reformed without learning about mental illness.

He should have been at home rather than agitating Cops for a victimhood photo op. Corona Virus could easily harm him.

WHAT!?

This is the problem. PoliceThePolice ProtectAndServe VoteOutTheHate

Fuck cops!!!

I’m disgusted

😭

this is so fake

Mark Poloncarz, the Erie Co executive said he’s in stable condition on his Facebook page

I would love to know what exactly the man was saying and doing. Why would you put yourself at risk of something like that happening if your older and frail.

Misspelled elderly cuck

Ok TMZ where is story in blk 77 yo shot by looting thugs and left to die on sidewalk? Doesn’t fit ur all cops are bad narrative huh? GotIt

And not one mo fo turned around and was like, “man down”

can't wait for yall to go out of business

Their IDGAF attitudes and how they just walked past him like he’s a piece of trash on the sidewalk is TERRIFYING

This was really hard to watch.

It was staged

Is Trump Racist Please Retweet AmericaOrTrump BunkerDon BlackLivesMatter

Wow

If he dies, Trump should be charged with murder

Sorry piece of shits

Did you cover the David Dorn story? Did you cover the story on the nyc cop getting stabbed in the neck last night unprovoked?

That nigga ded smh

And they say he “tripped & fell”. Like How? Tripped on WHAT?

All these tweets but not a word about David Dorn

Man, can’t wait for this retraction... media is dead

“He’s bleeding out of his ear” FR WE DOING THIS?

Why the fuck he walk up to them ?

*Buffalo cops assault elderly man, cracks his skull* ... fixed it for you

Really TMZ? Accurate? All details? 🤔

But “peaceful protesters “ can kill people and destroy property and you are ok with that....right

WTH was that man doing coming up to the cops like that and trying to touch/mess with the cops? Back up and move away. So they pushed him away for safety and and falls-no gun use or anything, but if they used a gun, baton or mace everyone would still complain. Come the F on smh

Terrible to suspend them ! It’s the old mans fault .

Holy shit they killed him

Gestapo is coming. Fun.

He obviously tripped

💔💔💔

His name is Aaron Torgalsky/Togalski

People need to start blasting these “cops”

Accidents happen - the world is not a perfect place -

THEY BEEN SOME FUCKIN A N I M A L S

COPS are behaving badly. I am not. Leave me out of it. We ALL are appalled by the MinneapolisPolice

This all needs to stop already.

Scumbags.

😡

Americans are just fucked up!!😂

This needs a Graphic Warning.....💔

Look at these pos go on there page not one damn thing about justice for Floyd or anything only backing the racist pigs one does not have to speak to show there true colors

DariusDaulton One of the saddest. Infuriating

Breaks my fucking heart!

They should be fired immediately

Cops behaving badly. But I’m not.

WHEN WE VOTE electing local sheriffs, city council members, and the mayor. By electing district attorneys and some judges because if African Americans are electing those officials there will be accountability for police.

those are not cops.....oath keepers for hire

Scarsmucci said that Trump would turn on the American people. The Republicans have emboldened him to be the dictator he’s always wanted to be. He acts like a slave master having police roundup his slaves to whip them into submission. There is no democracy! God save us!

I live in Buffalo. This is just sad. I hope someone helped him.

He better sue them

Officer Aaron Torgalski from the Buffalo PD

he was in the way
