Fifty-seven police officers in Buffalo, New York, have resigned from the force's emergency response team following the suspension of two officers who allegedly pushed a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest, a source says

An investigation is underway in an incident Gov. Andrew Cuomo called"wholly unjustified and utterly disgraceful." The man was seriously injured.Video of the demonstration Thursday shows a row of officers walking toward the man and two pushing him. His head bleeds onto the sidewalk as officers walk past him, some looking down at him.The officers resigned from the emergency unit but not from the force, according to police.

— Erie County DA June 5, 2020 Gugino had a head injury and could not give a statement to investigators Thursday night, the tweet said.Cuomo said the officers should be fired and prosecutors should move"fairly but quickly.""When I saw the video, I got sick to my stomach," Cuomo said."I would encourage the district attorney not to do what happened in Minneapolis, which the delay itself caused issues," said the governor, adding,"People don't want vaguery.

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 Cuomo said he spoke with Gugino. "Thankfully he is alive," Cuomo said Friday at his daily news conference in Albany."You see that video, and it disturbs your basic sense of decency and humanity.

Good, that 57 gestapo removed..

GOOD! they didnt take that guy down... the shoved him back and he fell while backpedaling ..

Good

57 thugs with badges supporting a brotherhood of criminals. Their message is clear!

I would love to see the video one minute before the old guy tripped. Was he provoking the police? It’s odd how there’s someone there to film everything then only part of the video is shown.

GOOD RIDDENCE. The bad apples are self filtering.

Shows you they are all the same. They resign because they are being asked to do the job they were hired to do...I think they should be completely terminated!

The video was horrific; the sound of his head hitting the pavement made me want to puke. However, it does appear the the man’s right arm may have been reaching for the officer’s mid-section. I know I am going to get blowback for this but I think we should wait for more details.

Good do they lose their pensions

Why does this say allegedly when we all watched it happen? If you don't say it like it really is, then that allows them to get away with it. When you see an injustice you say it. You speak up you scream it loud. You don't his behind words like allegedly. We witness it so say it.

I'd say good riddance. Anyone who thinks it's ok to shove down anyone who's not attacking, much less the elderly, has no place in law enforcement. The instigators should be prosecuted, and those who walked off in support be should not be allowed back on the job.

If they are standing behind the assaulting officers then Fire them All & Hire Good Cops. Stop police violence by Firing & prosecuting bad cops immediately.

A good start.

Oh it’s great that all those in that battalion have to face criminal charges. That’s why they resigned.

good riddance

Resign you murderers and go to hell, no man with dignity would ever higher you.

Good, now there are job opining for decent people.

Good, they suck at emergency response anyway.

No allegedly about it! These officers are a disgrace to their country

This is more fake propoganda. Look as camera bans left. There is no one there but one dude holding a BLM sign. More stagged BS.

The best they could do with such an opinion to serve awesome

I’m glad they did, let’s train new officers that actually know how to protect and serve our community without insults and false arrest. They literally should have been arrested for elderly abuse. SMFH

Bye! What those officers did was wrong and if you are against them being suspended/fired, then you shouldn’t be a part of the police force. Let the bad apples go!

news4buffalo The Blue Code of Silence Boggles my mind how these 57 cops can protest in support of cops pushing a 75 yr old man and DID NOT EVEN STOP TO ATTEND TO THE INJURED MAN. THEY SHOULD ALL RESIGN FROM THE POLICE FORCE. This is proof why people are protesting!!!

If any of them want their jobs back hire them at rookie pay. No peace, no pension.good riddance.

Fire their asses, if they can't follow direct orders from their chief, they sure as hell won't follow any new protocols on using force.

Good deal!! They looked stoned. Don’t rehire them. They don’t seem to understand that they, along with Trump are the cause of these protests.

It's beautiful how to stick together when something bad happened to one their colleagues. However, pay no might when one of them is doing something bad. (Like killing George Flyod)

They just dont get it. MightIsNotRight

Fire them all from the PD and replace them with real officers. Fortunately, good cops with heart and common sense do exist and out there.

All 57 should be fired for not wanting to do there jobs like professionals

FUCK THEM

Replace them quickly and show them there are good people willing to defend our citizens fairly. Fuck them.

Be careful what you ask for NY. 🙂

FIRE the 2 violent Officers that the world saw push the man to the concrete ground. Fire the 57 Officers who felt that the unjust attack was ok so they resigned in protest! Police violence is not tolerated. You dont get it yet!!!

He didn’t ‘allegedly’ push that man. You saw it, YOU HEARD IT. He 100% shoved that man to the ground. BY USE STILL SAYING ALLEGEDLY MEANS YOU REFUSE TO STATE FACT AND CONTINUE TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

Seems like those are the ones that shouldn't be cops anyway.

And there it is folks. Stormtroopers stick together.

That's how to spot and identify racist police officers.

They resigned in solidarity with the officer who pushed the old man, they're on the wrong side of this issue!

If these people don't see the mistake of knocking over a 75-year-old man, they don't belong to the police, it's good they go

'Fifty-seven resigned in disgust because of the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders,' Buffalo Police Benevolent Association president John Evans told WGRZ on Friday. Sounds mightily like the Nazis who murdered in the Holocaust. WAKE UP!!

Update your story !! They’ve been charged with assault and that’s why the cowards quit the team because they knew this assault charge was coming. They should all be fired immediately!

This is actually disturbing. These people will go and defend Donald Trump if he refuses to leave the office after the elections.

This incident and the resignations pretty much demonstrate the problems in police departments all over the country...there were so many alternative ways for this to play out but the police choose the most dangerous and least insightful...

Doctors wake up! OrthoToday psychos during WW2Facts HolocaustMuseum invented cruel Civil War butchery for normal muscle pain resolved with TLC AcupunctureICOM! liars joints wear out like car parts so replaced w car parts! CureArthritis can't exist!

对,都辞职吧。。。让法官自己去街上对付抗议者

And ya know what? They should quit. nodicksonthe force

Allegedly?

To Serve and Protect. My ass. These guys have lost the plot.

This was not staged. Police officers need to be retrained. The police should never be militarized. This is hubris of the worst kind...the armed kind.

Good

Allegedly?

Fire all of them. They obviously have no intention of being good officers.

This sounds like ageism. How is his number of years relevant? Whether he’s 25 or 75 and is an agitator then he is handled the same way. Stay out of riots - don’t participate.

OMG 57 cops lives in a buffalo

They resigned from their swat team,, not from their police force.

Stop the violence against people!

police fire all 57 completely from the police force Good ridence Buffalo you need these guys patrolling your streets like you need 4 feet of snow today

Good they should not be there if they support knocking over an elderly man peacefully protesting and just walk on by shame! That’s not the America I remember

Having seen the callousness in the way this poor man was shoved to the ground, the two officers responsible need to be CHARGED, not just suspended. And if their pals choose to act in solidarity with them, they're in the wrong job.

Let them go.. if u can’t control urslf u have no business being in the police or be called an officer..

How can you say 'allegedly' when we all have seen the video from different angles? No friggin' allegedly about it. The protester WAS pushed by the two officers.

“that supposedly pushed” I think everyone saw the video, I'm speechless!

“Allegedly” smh

Police officers should all resign from policing all 50 or so of them!

buffalopolice I can only imagine the stress you’re going through as well as your families. I’m sorry our so called American people have to test & mentally push you. That’s not ok either. Long hours + stressful situations = frustration & unclear judgement. AllLivesMatter

Good riddance no one cars

A little old man along fire them all

Good riddance..!!!

'Allegedly' he fell. Watch the video for the truth. 'In my opinion', some if then should be charged with attempted murder.

Did anyone investigate if the order to resign came from Trump?

Racism MUST end!

How 'brave' of them...

How convenient for the BP Assoc Pres John Evans to say that he slipped!if he hadn't been pushed it wouldn't happened, you are not talking about a young guy, he's 75! The ER Team could've used some decency and respect to do their job. Shame on you all!

Good!! They are all unfit for their position

2 follow order and push 2 follow order and suspended 57 dont follow orders 57 dont respect orders Speak when you are 75 years old and pushed by healthy men

Good! Let them all resign the police department fully if they believe what happened was right they should not be allowed to be police officers MayorByronBrown resign if you think this is okay you are unfit buffaloprotests BPDAlerts news4buffalo TheBuffaloNews NYGovCuomo

These are the 'Type' of 'Cops' that Would Turn Their Head On Brutality!!!!!!

Good riddance

The guy obviously said something to them he shouldn't have. This wasn't grandpa taking a stroll down the road, this guy is a known activist. Leave them alone and let them do their job and GTFO of the way.

Wow that many

“PRIVILEGED”... When CNN and other networks say something “allegedly” occurred; when it’s PAINFULLY OBVIOUS, the elderly man was pushed! Not to mention, the police reported the man tripped and fell (has since been recanted). ONLY recanted due to the fact it was going viral!!!

What in God's name is the problems of this police men,the dust of their heartless act has not really settled and they are up to another.SHAAAAME!!!to them.

Let them resign. If they think that it's ok the pushing an elderly man to the ground is kool, then let them resign. They should never work for the police department again. As much I support the police, this bunch are acting like gangs if police.

describes how people can be influenced by their peers to adopt certain behaviors on a largely emotional, rather than rational, basis. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they may make different decisions than they would have individually.

They should be ashamed of themselves 🙁

I hope the man is ok. This isn't right. Help a fallen man up. Is this what you teach your son's?

Those cowards did not actually resigned. They merely left their post. We have come to a point where it is no longer “just a few bad apples” but rather a bad tree that has been rooting bad policies for decades. Time to chop off the tree and replant.

Die arbeiten nach Anweisung von ganz oben !!!!!!!!

What is so difficult about policing which is proportionate; which de-escalates; which is demilitarised; which trains and equips officers; and which is publicly accountable to the people they purportedly serve and protect.

Nobody’s talking about the fact that good people are going to need to step up and decide to be police officers or we won’t have enough.

That is their prerogative!

So pathetic

Go sell mary kay cosmetics

They should not be there if they are troubled by violence against the elderly being punished. Pushing the elderly to the ground is never necessary. Good riddance, they should also resign as police officers.

They should all he terminated and the department defunded.

I understand the need for impartiality but to use the word ‘allegedly’ in this instance when it’s clear, on good quality video, that he WAS pushed is not necessary. Like saying seanhannity is allegedly an apologist for Trump. Just rather silly.

Psalm 57:4 (GOOD BLOODY RIDDANCE) I am in the midst of lions; I am forced to dwell among ravenous beasts — men whose teeth are spears and arrows; whose tongues are sharp swords. 6 They dug a pit in George Floyd’s path but have fallen into it themselves. GOD TALKS. 6/6/2020 6:58pm

I believe I saw a video of that event, us old guys can't move fast because were no longer capable. It appeared in the video I saw the man was turned away as he was shoved twice into a metal barrier. The second sent the man head over heels.

Allegedly?

The old man was in the wrong!

Let the assholes all go home. Why attack an Elderly peaceful protester like that. Inexcusable

That's great, but all of them stand accused of abetting crime against the 75 year old man. They left him lying on the pavement bleeding. The two men who shoved him must be prosecuted. Their behaviour went against the code of conduct.

Good, I'm Glad they left. I saw the video of these 2 cops push this elderly man to the ground & he did nothing wrong! It looked like he hit his head. He was knocked out and the 2 cops just walked past him on the ground. I have NO Respect for NY Cops-0%. They can ALL Burn In Hell

Maybe the real reason is they didn’t like what they were required to do.

ByeFelicia

Good riddance

in solidarity of a*holes eh?

Their response shows that they find it normal to knock down a 75 year old man. Thus find it normal to use force to anyone! They all should be fired!

Cool Strong Cops jobs pl hold on you shall come stronger God Bless Donot Give Up good work USA needs your services at these times Amen Mahesh Bhatt Kirticorp

you have a typo with the word “allegedly”

good! saves the trouble!

your not wrong you just do your job.

Why are you saying 'allegedly'? Now video proof isn't enough either?

„Allegedly“ not watched the Video ?

57 scum bags who should be named and shamed. I feel so angry and can only imagine how the protesters must feel. Get these morons off the streets as soon as possible. They dont deserve to wear a badge.

He was pushed and bleeding from a head wound....the only other people around where armed officers. Fact.

Good fucking riddance.

This propaganda video really gave those Chinese propaganda videos of folks dying in the streets some competition. Now slow it down and zoom. Yes, they're playing you folks on the Left hard too.

Sentletse Good riddance.

Allegedly on camera

jaketapper If they support what happened then good riddance. They should have arrested their fellow officer on the spot. Good cops need to turn in bad cops. Supporting a bad cop action also makes you a bad cop.

The old man is just talking, indicating something on the side... He gets pushed without even trying to ask him to move! And the rest of them pass by an injured citizen! Is this the training us police receive? Something wrong with the lot!!!!

If they can't even abuse the Old then what good is the job ?--Cops should be loyal to those they SERVE ?

mnyclark Good riddance, now do the mayor. 😡

TheShehus They've not resigned from their jobs, just that unit.

jaketapper That was very disrespectful, seeing the police push that senior citizen. That’s someone’s dad and grandfather at most. God is watching 👀

Yeah could have been handled little better at his age, but tense situation, I don’t know what he was doing and I think they meant to push him back (I admit hard) but not down. Not one I’m comfortable to second guess the guys on the front lines on.

now since all of them have resigned, let them goto training school for lectures on democracy, if they don't wan, let them goto meet hitler...

Wake Up World

See state that encourages criminality and punishing Lea and order

Every Police Force should create a psychological department.. So many of these cops could have a long history of dementia!!

good, we need to deport all police!!

'... allegedly'?!

Let them go.

Good riddance

Who said it’s just a few bad apples? It’s the whole effin batch!!!! 😡

Each and every one of them should be fired! “Just following orders” is what the Nazis said. Disgusting!

jaketapper You were ordered to physically assault people? In the article it states the order was to be careful and protect. So, something got lost in translation!

Good. Now find some better people!

I am glad they did resign from the special team, leaves the city high and dry on extra protection. I hope the rioters burn Buffalo to the ground.

Less KKK in the ranks! 👍👍👍

Allegedly?

57 pieces of dead weight nobody needs in that capacity. Don't quit your job without knowing where your next one's gonna be. Good luck. Will fit great on your resume.

Bye bye

WTF?

'Good riddance to bad rubbish'

“Allegedly” cnn. It looks pretty clear to me that it was done.

Good.

Sickens me. People age and lose their balance a little, but this gentleman had no chance when he was toppled like an oak tree! Bleeding from the ear is serious stuff, I pray that he is ok and going to be well after this! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

“57 Police officers protest suspension of brutal colleagues”

Maybee they were not there for the right reasons.

He pushed him to the ground. It's on tape. Not alleged. Fix this. Thank you JuliaDavisNews

Allegedly?🙄

Like minds stick together. Let them go. They are part of the problem.

Glad they resigned. Hopefully, it was all of them who walked right by while he was bleeding from his head and did nothing to help or wait for the ambulance. None of them need to be on the force at all.

I am stunned to learn there are 59 Rogue Buffalo police officers who think they’ve the right to push the old man until he felt on the street & got hurt. America Institutions are damned! SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden BarackObama NYGovCuomo annmarie DavidWestin tomkeene

And we don’t care ...right ?

best news ever!!

It's this type of mentality, we shouldn't be accountable, that should not be allowed in any law enforcement agency. Pot calling the kettle black!

Sack all of them They are no better

Don't let the door hit them in the ass

Don't let the batons hit you on the way out, jerkoffs. PoliceBrutalityPandemic hes75 YouAreTheSwamp

But that police it is supposed to lead the justice what is happening with these people. There is no humans. If they are not protecting the most vulnerable on the contrary what could be the worst. Who is the shif of that group of beast?

Accept the resignations very quickly.

Nothing alleged here. We watched this happen.

As a Hongkonger, i can understand why the society so so furious so angry.. The police are not supposed to be like this! They are no difference with thug or criminal.. Hope the poor old man can find his health and justice back! No more PoliceBrutality ! Anti PoliceTerrorism !

Can anyone point me to a statement from the PBA president where he condemns George Floyd’s murder? Until every PBA president and Police Chief signs a statement condemning it and states that they wont’t defend the “bad apples” they admit the whole orchard is rotten.

What are their names?

If they can't handle a 75 year-old peaceful protester without sending him to the hospital maybe they should quit.

jaketapper Basically: You can’t fire me; I quit!

Don’t care, resign all the way. Sensitivity training obviously didn’t work for none of you.

Start taking job applications and put them on leave w/o pay.

Let they as* leave and get some REAL officers in there. They better stay on cause once they loose that badge people migh whoop that a•• for every black killing

Corruption must run deep. Jump now Before the suspender's start naming names. Pretty sure, if upper echelon MPD officials start getting indicted. Lots of resignations would start dropping. Those were not EMTs that took George away. INVESTIGATE THE EMTs.

jaketapper Good riddance! Apparently, these 57 ex-cops share a loyalty to something far greater than their duty to protect & serve. Perhaps there loyalty & duty is to another organization? Anyone wonder what that might be?

They should resign. They have no business protecting and serving anyone. Instead they are professional bullies, harrasers and don’t deserve to wear that uniform.

Allegedly? And even if the 75 year-old man tripped and fell, why did not one of those officers stop to help? It looks as if he was walked past by at least a dozen officers. Why?

Criminally. Charge. Them. Now!

Buffalo pansies, they should quit. Why do they need a special unit in Buffalo anyhow!

Can you really blame them? They didn’t sign up for an entire movement to march against them, with protesters willing and able to kill. This guy antagonized.

From the photo it's clearly visible that the man is alone and there is no need to apply such a force to push him down. Has the power gone into the heads of being police man ?

All fascists. DefundThePolice DefundPolice PoliceBrutalityPandemic PoliceBrutality PoliceViolence

You follow an order, then you can kill people?

Job opportunity

woooooooooo

The most dangerous issue they have is their own city government.

Good. Get rid of all compliant and complacent cops.

Good, quite the force.

These 57 police officers MUST be re-evaluated by the BPD.

jaketapper 57 job openings.

That's very brave of them to give up a voluntary position but stay on the force. I'm moved.

How’s the man doing?

Hold the line! 💙

Good riddance. If you treat anyone like this then believe you don’t belong in the police force. BlackLivesMatterDC

Buh bye if you can’t apply the law rightfully

Can any of these officers even count to 57?

Them: 'It's just a few bad apples.....' No. This is an example of a broken system. Let's fix this. DefundThePolice

Thats gud news...many are waiting out there to replace them n be a gud cop...

Open season in that town. Hopefully nothing bad happens there but I can see rioters and looters trying to get there thinking they can easily wreak havoc without anyone stopping them.

They quit the emergency unit but remain in the force. They should be fired now! or you should quit the force if you're not happy!

Good .

This is why you will never get rid of bad cops, because as soon as they go after them the 'good' cops threaten to quit or not do their jobs

This is straight up heartless.

People please stay out of the way of police officers. That’s like stepping out into a highway and expecting not to get hit. There is a lot of anxiety, people on edge, stay home.....pray.

Glad my daughter doesn’t live in Buffalo anymore. ub

Its going to sound crazy, but the only officer I would could consider being lenient to might be the one who realized oh shit and wanted to help and actually played a roll in pushing him down, fuck those other 57 + the officer who said don't feel bad keep marching.. God Knows!!!!

I am mortified beyond belief. As an educator, son, parent, brother, student of the constitution, and quite frankly, just a human being. This display, not only supported but explicitly directed by one Donald J. Trump, is abhorrent to the fundamental principles of common decency.

Good riddance.

jaketapper Go, they need to resign from the police force now, they have no business being police officers.

Well, if that’s the way this team protects its citizens, then i for one am happy to see everyone of them gone. They should be off the force, with that attitude. Pushing an old man down and then walk over his bleeding head wound to leave him there. Those aren’t police officers.

Good bad cops anyway

A few bad apples ha? The police departments are NOW cults.

Sounds like addition by subtraction to me

Side note: Even Mafia doesn't go this low. Hitler & Co did, on purpose. Almost like unleashing the Wuhan-virus on the poor/POC was also intentional.

GOOD...PROBABLY OUT OF GUILT FOR DOING FUCK ALL TOO HELP THE MAN...NO LOSS 👍

jaketapper These cops should lose their badges forever, and serve some prison time for assault.

Fire them all and execute the two pricks who pushed him in the street.

The cowards. Those 50 are the ones who are just as impulsive as the one shoving the old man down. They’re resigning ahead of time because they know they can’t not on people & avoid getting publicly shamed. Those who are still serving or not afraid of not harming people.

all those pigs there should have been charged and fired

Given their attitudes, they’re No Loss! They should resign from the police Altogether, because they’re the type No Country Needs!

The good ones quit, because they don't like the way it's being done, but then that just leaves all the bad ones. So, the good ones have to stay on and kick the bad ones out...

There’s no allegedly - check the tape

They're not telling the whole story. Several probably resigned because of the horrible treatment of the officers (2 who pushed & 1 who prevented the officer from correcting a wrong). Many officers are for good, not ill will & are distancing from corruption.

Guess they don't like all the eyes aka cameras on them, the ones citizens DON'T FORGET TO TURN ON🤷

That’s all you need to know about their character. Good riddance.

Fine, go home if you aren’t in compliance with laws and regulations

Ramon36069 “ALLEGEDLY”?!?!?!

Those of you that fell for George Floyd’s staged death probably also fell for this one LOL

Outright appalling! Who knocks down an elderly gentleman just standing there? Then who walks by uncaringly? Protect the people! Don’t instigate violence! That was another example of violence and police brutality! Get a new job!

Adios and good riddance muthafuckas! You obviously aren’t getting what all of the protests are about so we don’t need you and your kind.

They did not resign from police. Only the emergency team. It's a play game . Should resign from force. No ball.

Good riddance to bad rubbish

To show their support to the murderer?

See you later

Meh, good riddance

Fire them all. Fire their superiors also. Next.

they should resign. the protests have really put the spotlight on police brutality. there are more than a few who forgot their oath to protect and serve.

That's 59 less bad cops in America.

Good riddance! Emergency Response Team. How about resigning from the police force period. We dont want or need you.

These two police deserved to be suspended

Allegedly? It's on camera.

Well .......BYE. Get some good cops in there place

Wow, what the hell is a 75 year old man going to do to 2 heavily guarded police officer's Not right at all, that's pretty cowardly to do and for the police force to look at that as an ok thing to do shows it's not just racism in question!!

57 steps in the right direction if they believe that their colleagues were doing the right thing

If that was my grandfather they would hope they were locked up then they said he fell then the one cop stopped the other cop from helping him

jaketapper Are they protesting the suspension or that the old guy didn't die? Either one says something about those cops.

Dumb

OMG is there any other news? Is Coronavirus gone? You want to make things worse by showing ONLY police hurting people but you don't show people hurting the police. You show what sells. You should try to make things better not worse but hey you are making a buck off of George. SAD

58 new job opportunities!!

jaketapper There's a saying that rats abandon a sinking ship.

CELEBRATION TIME COME ON, LET'S CELEBRATE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME TONIGHT! Those are the ones that do not need to be on the force.

It’s sad to think that 57 officers think shoving an old man down is acceptable. This is exactly the problem.

This is the lowest act

57 resigned because they were following orders? Wow scumbags

Well, there are 59 officers that should not be wearing a badge.

Get rid of these inhuman people!

Are we going to teargas them and beat them with batons for their protest efforts or shall we just PushThemToTheGround

More Nuremberg defense f-you BPDAlerts

Allegedly?!?!? Tha fuck!

Byyyyeeeee.

These morally deficient are not the kind of men I would want anywhere around me or anyone I care about in an emergency. If they think shoving an old man in his senses who very clearly was not completely coherent is not psychotically violent, then something is wrong with them

I don’t even like cops and can see this old guy is an asshole that wanted a confrontation and got it. He was lightly pushed and clearly stumbled over his own feet as he was caught off balance.

Yeah I don’t blame them. 1) WTF was that old man doing scratching at that police officer’s arm!? Seriously what the hell was he doing? 2) the police officer BARELY touches him. The old man is basically Bambi on ice. Those two officers should be reinstated immediately.

Why was the old man there? They were clearing the streets, he's the only person that can't follow rules, maybe that crack on the head will rewire his brain to comply.

Oh, they 57 officers resigned in utter disgust over the treatment of the 2 who pushes an elderly man? I see, like AmyCooper, they are playing victim. They asked him to clear area several times. Well, boohoo. If disgusted resign from the force BuffaloPD

Well I guess they'll need to hire 59 instead of 2 New Police officer in Buffalo NY.

I hate them

This is not a President issue, it is not primarily a racism issue. This predates MLK and even slavery. Just because it doesn't fit your agenda, you need to accept it. ONLY the truth will set you free. Check these stats.

Who needs them they’re just problems waiting to happen.

out with the trash.

Straight ass set/up. Staged to make the cops look bad. Dude had a fake blood pouch in his right ear all along. You can see it before he starts putting his hands on the officers. FAKED FOR THE NEWS. Please

Great start, now resign from law enforcement.

Then it’s 57 bad officers. If 57 of them do not believe what those men did was absolutely positively 100% unequivocally wrong, then they do not deserve to wear the uniform and the shield. Please turn them in please go become ditch diggers,maybe that’s even too good!

Second largest criminal organization in the world the police force first is the government

Allegedly?

Don't let the door hit them in the ass. The faster they are gone ,the faster we all heal and feel safer .😒

jaketapper cutthemloose

They resigned NOT because they thought what their fellow officers did wrong...but because they felt THEY were being treated unfairly. Are you fucking kidding me.

1FreshTake Those two assholes should be so FIRED!!

Nice when the trash takes itself out.

Good 57 bad seed weeded out

Good riddance

Suspended? They need to be fired and every other cop in this country that can’t help by addressing the problems. They must realize they are hired to protect and serve the citizens not oppress them. Every month a cop must go through a external thorough psychological assessment.

jaketapper Fire all 57, start aggressive strategy to hire minority officers

Fire them all.

The police union response cuts to the heart In the face of video evidence and eyewitnesses and top brass saying the man was pushed 'They were simply doing their job. I don't know how much contact was made. He did slip in my estimation. He fell backwards.'

For more precisely ..... They are just machines programmed to crush those who oppose the regime that's hiding behind the mask of democracy.

The two police should be charged for man slaughter. And the 57 that resigned should have their pensions taken away for abetting man slaughter

Good, with a lack of compassion like that they probably weren't cut out to be cops in the first place.

Seriously you fools think that the police during this climate would push a 75yo , even the few bad apples probably wouldn’t do so. Something very fishy here , js!! Wonder what a frail 75 yo would be protesting anyways. There’s way more to this story

So obviously 57 police officers don't mind pushing an elderly man to the ground. Good riddance.

jaketapper

Time for a good house cleaning there...

If they can't do the job, then they should resign~they won't be missed. They can do desk jobs.

jaketapper Allegedly? Was I seeing something ? He was PUSHED!

Why did the guy taking the video not stop this man he was not in his right mine. Not to defend the cops action but the old man should not come up to them like that

jaketapper Fire them all

Bull💩

This is hard to watch. Police pushed a 75 year young man to the ground causing injures and hospitalized. POLICE IS OUT OF CONTROL, THEY ARE ACTING CRIMINALS THEMSELVES. POLICE BRUTALLY ALL OVER THE NET..

Go Away...this Officers are not fit to the position of Protect Citizens. We don't need this kind of behavior in our Police...New cadets Welcome.

Good riddance

Good riddance.

Budget cuts should be easy this year.

Good riddance. Not one of them should ever be given law enforcement responsibilities again.

SimonJester007 Good riddance!

Drain the swamp ✊🏽

Let them go. I may apply to be a police officer. To actually protect and serve. No patrol and control.

Good riddance. That was unacceptable. If an officer can't use judgement with regards to a 75 year old with hands exposed then they shouldn't be cops. Disgraceful how others just walked by.

Bye Nazis.

good!

all57 swat cops quit...and Buffalo residents feel safer. What an upside down time.

jaketapper Good riddance Crooks 🤷🏽‍♀️

Oh they grew a conscience about dam near killing an old man

Bye that's that broken system shit we talkin about

jaketapper

Strong evidence that this isn’t a “few bad apples,” but a toxic and dangerous culture

They are animals ,and so are the others thst did not stop to aid that innocent man.

It’s a great day for city of Buffalo . You can rebuild with people who have more integrity.

Lol they 'resigned' from a team, we are happy to accept their real resignations though if they'd like to make their point more firmly

57 genuine “COPS SUCKERS”

JoeyJacksonEsq

FK all 57 they should quit the force entirely instead of engaging in this cowardly stunt .

jaketapper Good. If any more of these ass clowns think what was done was simply following orders they should resign as well. Good luck finding another job that pays you to assault the peaceful elderly while calling it following orders

At first I thought they were resigning because of the way their fellow officers treated that senior citizen, letting him lay on the sidewalk bleeding out of his head. Nope.

jaketapper Buffalo should really investigate that. If these folks left the emergency force because they feel those two cops were not wrong. Well investigate and fire as needed...

All this shows is that police officers will never hold each other accountable. Anyone with a brain and a conscience can see that was excessive use of force.

It's Buffalo, I'm sure they'll have plenty of jobs to choose from

jaketapper So send a message that looting will be a lot easier now in Buffalo. Because no officer should be suspended for possibly knocking down and failing to assist a senior citizen. If that is the message Buffalo cops are sending, Buffalo doesn’t need them.

Allegedly? They clearly gave this 75 yr old man a hard shove that resulted in his falling backwards. One officer yelled he's faking. They ignored the situation & moved on. The man had blood pooling from the back of his head & coming from his ear. Let them resign!

Don’t blame all cops. I was cop for 30 years. I would never have done this to anybody just protesting. I would never have kneeled on somebody till he couldn’t breathe. I am not racist. Cops are people. Just need to root out the bad ones. Bless the good guys.

jaketapper Might as well jump from a sinking ship

Good riddance

And no one went to jail

57 “officers” should be fired immediately.

Life alert is now your only option if you “trip and fall”

Now it's black community turn - White lives matter?

Looks like a good thread to revive LIHOP. FakeNewsMedia, let me introduce PsyOpBob.

Allegedly you people are stoned sick those officers pushed that old man down. Hell you’ve got video to prove it and you junkies still try to spin it and out right LIE about it. The system is so corrupt and degrading it’s useless and degrading failing the people protect & serve

Fredo's brother has got a lot of nerve commenting on the poor treatment of this elderly man. That piece of 💩 NYGovCuomo just killed THOUSANDS of elderly nursing home residents...😠

They should all resign from the force for dereliction of duty pursuant to failing to PROTECT and Serve

They left the department, not the force. They’re still employed

The BPDAlerts should just fire them. They're obviously a part of the problem if they're resigning in support of police brutality.

Let them go ! There are officers who will be better. Hired 57 more.

Do these people know how job accountability works. Most of miss a deadline and we get fired. They put a guy in the hospital and they are upset about a suspension.

Bye bye

“Wait, is that a whiff of petulance I’m smelling along with the tear gas?”

Good! We don’t need police to abuse citizens, Police men and women are meant to protect and even take an oath. You all were a part of the rest of America loosing any Automatic respect for police now.

Guess they didn't actually sign up to serve and protect.

Excellent. Fire those 57, since they have a Nuremberg-defence mentality.

They should’ve been fired

Good riddance to the 57 bullies who support the cowardly suspended colleagues to should serve & protect but instead under their badge battered a 75 yr old man. A lot of young Americans unemployed who could be trained in the right way to replace that load of rubbish

That’s perfect we not need them we need cops with good and professional principals, so go and stay home it’s better for us

jaketapper Criminals.... go to Buffalo! Quick ! Now! No cops! Progressives don’t like guns. Conservatives will respect progressive hatred of guns and not use their guns to help.

Since they resigned “No pay and No benefits “ and if that elderly man dies charge the 2 with manslaughter.

Bye boys

Who cares?

Wow... so many scum in the police. Amazing. Good+they are quitting!

Good riddance ... 57 dirty cops then

Correction 57 officers in favor or police brutality resign from force

The entire body should resing!

Don’t think we can use the word allegedly when there is clear and concise video evidence but bet

jaketapper They should feel free to resign from the force.

A bunch of baby’s. They should all be embarrassed

and all the wannabe criminals in Buffalo rejoice - get rid of the po-po, mayhem will thrive.

Fire them! There are plenty of opportunities at Pinkerton and Guardsmark if they can pass the background checks... “Please tell me why you were terminated”

Sounds like 57 jobs just opened up. Hopefully good cops fill them. Change can be good.

jaketapper Welcome to the joys of unemployment fry cooks and barbers have been living with. You cast your lot with Cuomo now live with it.

This is how the police union tries to keep the upper-hand: if someone criticizes or punishes bad police behavior, they circle the wagons and try to intimidate and bully the critics so that officers can continue their behavior with impunity.

jaketapper Don’t let the door hit ya in the ass

jaketapper It's NOT 'allegedly'! Stop trying to gaslight the public - we can see it 👀

Fire them all

jaketapper If their orders were to push around old men and then walk by as they bled out their ear, I would assume that they would not want to work for bosses like that.

🇺🇸 Hey, Democratic voters and US Media : Who will protect you when the cops are not working? blacklifematters Buffalo CNN NewYork WashingtonDC

Police in every large city should be interviewing with small departments in red states/cities. When the time comes and Democrats defund police operations, be ready to jump. Better to leave such cities without police. Give Democrats what they deserve.

JohnT_WX Pretty soon, every liberal city will have their police force on strike - and liberals will be calling police and police will have a repeating message: 'We're too racist to assist you at the moment and are protesting. Please call your mom. Thank you'. CopsStrike CopsOnStrike

jaketapper With police like that you are better of without them. Bad cops condone and protect other bad cops.

And this overwhelming proves the point that you are NOT a good cop if you cannot make rationale or common sense decisions. AND THEN to boot, stand by any human being that would do this to o a SENIOR CITIZEN OR ANY HUMAN BEING!

GOOD!!!!!!!

Allegedly? It's on video. We've all seen it. It's a fact.

If those officers support that behavior, then the streets will be safer without them. Good riddance!

Amazing are the work of JESUS

They're still on the force though so they didn't really do anything. It's like resigning from being a hall monitor.

They went home to beat their wives.

They should all be fired

Thats 57 less officers we have to worry about that think this kind of behavior is okay.

StacyLymber

Cowards doing a protest now ? Make sure you beat the shit out of them let’s see how they like it.

BTW....If you're saying 'Defund The Police.' and 'Violence Is OK.' By all means... let US know so my 1%er friends can come to your city and say 'HI' after it's done. OK ? *** You're playing right into the hands of Outlaws and Gansters ! Keep it up ! 😉 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They’re quitting because there is a little accountability now. They don’t seem like the type of people you would want as police anyway.

buh-bye...

Good. Don’t need them

Good news, let them resign, nobody will miss the bullies

Bye Felicia!!!

Good saves us the task of weeding them out.

They were all complicit - good riddance

Not just a few bad apples the entire apple tree is rotten.

They should all resign

They are only resigning from the emergency response team. They aren't giving up their job.

Fire them all, good riddance.

You misspelled fired and charged with assault. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hire new black officers to replace them.

BPDAlerts PBA Members be like

Good riddance!

Do BlackLivesMatter in Islam? Listen to this.

Trash throwing itself out.

It's always nice to see the idiots cull themselves out, isn't it?

Bye Felicia

I would too. I quit a job because Upper Mgmt was Trash 👏🏼

If the best you can do for why you're supporting 2 cops who pushed a 75 year old man to ground and caused him to bleed from his ear is, 'They were just following orders,' then please turn in your badge. You clearly do not deserve to be a police officer.
