'ALLEGEDLY' there's a fucking video literally proving that they shoved him god i hate this country any pig that uses or have used excessive for should be arrested lose their jobs and should never be allowed to work a government job again

Oh gee! Another liberal fscist run city with bad cops! It’s violent liberals causing the chaos! Get rid of LIBERALS!!

They need to be held 100% accountable for their actions. He wasn’t a threat. And to walk away after pushing him. They are sworn to serve and protect. Their oath was broken. Their badge means nothing to them.

They should have been shoved into the jail.

Oh, it's so sad! They're not happy that they no longer have that privilege with impunity. So sad. FUCK THE POLICE.

Since you said two buffalo , NY , police officers . I don't expect buffalo to behave as human.

Not good enough. Those officers need to be fired, charged with assault and arrested. As for all the other officers who didn’t stop to render aid to this man and callously walked by, they too need to be fired. They aren’t fit to wear the badge.

Unbelievable the evil rot that's set in the US police force.

WATCH VIDEO CLOSELY. First two officers act sanely until 3rd officer comes up behind and makes them keep moving, pushes cop on left forward. What’s his name? ALL 3 SHOULD BE SUSPENDED.

Allegedly?

They should be prosecuted and receive years in jail. After serving his country fir many years, this 75-year-old American doesn’t deserve this kinds of treatment and disrespect.

Watch the man’s right hand with phone prior to being pushed away & ask yourself what he was trying to do.

Somethings never change

Lots of cops are losing their jobs, hopefully their pension, and freedom too. Put them in general population. Without the badge and gun they are just regular bullies.

KeithOlbermann Now suspend the police spokesman who said he tripped

How do you go from a 'trip and fell' to police suspensions? The offending officers and anyone involved in this coverup need to be fired and charged. I guess in Buffalo if you are shot by police they charge you for stealing police bullets.

Suspensions mean nothing. They are usually back on the job within 30 days or less.

KeithOlbermann Get to sit at home AND stay paid? All on our dime? What a punishment 🥱🙄

Staged...fake

Army position was the best heavy army

I bet you money that this wasn't the first time the officer used excessive force against someone.

Every single officer who left him lying on the ground and didn't stop to help should be fired.

Suspended? They should have been fired immediately

KeithOlbermann Fire their asses and throw them in jail.........assholes!!

U.S. finalizes order allowing 15 passenger air carriers to suspend service to 75 airportsThe U.S. Transportation Department said late Wednesday it granted final approval to 15 airlines to temporarily halt service to 75 U.S. airports because of a lack of demand stemming from the coronavirus pandemic. When you want to attack airlines for getting loans fr the Govt as a result of Covid19 - remember the Govt made them continue to service areas & run flights for the pats three months while no one was flying at great cost Now airlines will price gouge us essential workers still flying. So they win on subsidies, furloughed workers to cover costs and essential workers (mostly government ones) getting screwed on fairs!?!?!? Fair? Hell no!!
