Washington, D.C., on Thursday.Two military personnel were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries after it was reported they"felt the effects" of a lightning strike, according to a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS.
Kanye West joined marchers on the city's South Side as they marched toward Chicago Police Department headquarters. Photos show the rapper in a black hoodie and mask surrounded by protesters. The march was led bythat West had donated $2 million to charities associated with Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd and that he has established a college fund for Floyd's daughter Gianna.
What a scene: hundreds of people, kneeling, with black power salutes, at the seat of the Lincoln Memorial, where the March on Washington happened 57 years ago this summer. Hard to not see the impact of Colin Kaepernick right before us, years after his NFL Exile
When representatives of authority are taunted, tested, & tried, it results in non-compliance. In videos of police responding to non-compliant individuals we see how it ends. People no longer respect & revere authority. Elevation of self destroys people. Obey the police, period.
Update: 57 other officers quit from the Emergency Team in ‘solidarity’ with these 2 dickheads. Entire BPDAlerts is corrupt
And 75 police walked out to support them...so now the city can burn. Oh...on a side note...don’t step in front of a riot squad when riots are going on 🤷🏻♂️
When is the police going to stop their violence against we the citizens who at the end are paying their salaries. Maybe they are taking drugs before they go to work? That’s the only possible reason for their aggressive behavior
there’s something else to it if you pay attention to the video the first two cops initially hesitate and almost stop and another one comes from behind yelling “push it back” and pushes cops to engage men the same one that pulls the cop from helping the men
micahuetricht And the others have resigned in solidarity with the suspended cops.
I've seen so many videos this morning of poor treatment of cops on American citizens today. It's as if they don't care that the protests are a demand for them to stop treating people the way they are. The behavior being protested is what they are doing to the peaceful protestors!
All of them should be fired.
They need to suspend the others for walking past too. Protect and serve the community!
if they weren't cops, they'd be in a jail cell right now.
Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking.
This is a microcosm of the problem. Out of an entire group of cops, there are 2 bad ones, but the rest of them let it happen, walked by the guy, arrested other people watching, and attempted to cover for those officers.
Don't bring your kids to the protest and if you don't move when police clear a street don't wonder why your head hurts.
Я вам не верю
Erie County District Attorney John J. Flynn should be handling the investigation, not the Buffalo Police Department Internal Affairs Division. Having IAD investigate is like having the fox look into who ate the chickens. Criminal assault by police officer should be prosecuted.
This is what the protests and riots were about! Police brutality Specifically the dispropotionate use of brutality against Black Americans. Now that white people are being assaulted, mamed, and abused, maybe AllLivesMatter folks will finally demand reform?
This is outrageous. But it’s also telling how upset people are over this poor elderly white man. Now imagine they knelt on his neck for over 8 minutes while they watched him die. This power trip mentality must be stopped!!
Certain news channels are cutting the clip short because they don’t want you to see all the officers that march past the elderly man not moving, most likely unconscious,on the ground.
Those two officers should have been terminated, arrested, and charged.
if a normal citizen did that and it was captured by local news camera, that person would be in custody right now.
And what about those marching by,yes,but what about our society and culture which has marched right on by for centuries,in so many different ways. Yes, police brutality is awful, but these police officers are products of a society that we are part of,
They need fired and charged with aggravated assault.
They should be fired, charged with assault/battery and arrested.
You can hear the racists at NPR wailing and wringing their hands lamenting why the old man had to be white.
micahuetricht Yep, definitely only two officers in that video.
I saw an entire troop of shaved baboons wearing black combat costumes & a sane, evolved human, wearing camo, focus on helping his fellow man.
They should be fired and charged BPDAlerts
Again, CCPChina propaganda accounts swamped into this thread
They are all complicit. If any of them are supposedly “good cops” they would have stopped to help.
If I did that I’d (rightfully) be in jail.
they ALL walked past him.... fire them all.
'WHY WE CAN'T WAIT'- DR. KING
PLEASE GIVE UPDATES ON THIS. The ELDERLY MANS CONDITION & More Details of the circumstances
Suspended? They need to be FIRED and charged with assault. ENOUGH!!!
Why aren't they charged yet?
I really wish I was allowed to assault the elderly at my job and simply be “suspended without pay”. Sounds dope.
It’s disturbing that two officers can do that and all the others just stand by watching and do nothing. It’s clearly a toxic culture there in Buffalo.
The photo posted with this story was taken of a confrontation in NYC (not Buffalo). For the sake of accuracy, better to take a clip from the video or have no photo at all.
Who sent the old man up there anyway anybody see that anybody see that old man talking to somebody before you went up there anybody
They get a time out, he goes to the hospital... That's what this is all about
Only suspend? That's assault.
The crockpots of the alt right are already posting nutty conspiracy theories about how it was faked with contraptions and fake blood. They probably think the gravity was faked as well.
Why are they not arrested for assault. PoliceState
And over 20 just stood around yelled his leaking like they were pinned down in a bunker WWII and simply walk away
This Attack on American must stop ThisEndsNow
suspended for murder?
Arrest them for assault
And as for the officer who restrained the officer who attempted to help the man who was pushed to the ground? Is he identified and suspended as well?
They should be arrested and jailed without pay. 'Suspended.' WTF world are we living in right now?
One bad apple 😂
Yeah that's great but where is the assault charge?
