BUFFALO, NY—After a video of the incident received national attention, Buffalo mayor Byron Brown confirmed Friday the suspension without pay of two policemen who were caught staining an otherwise spotless section of city sidewalk with blood. “I have seen the video and am deeply disturbed by the actions of these officers, who not only spilled a significant amount of blood on an otherwise pristine square of pavement, but then casually moved along without making the slightest attempt to clean it up,” said Brown, adding that once a bloodstain like that had set, it was practically impossible to remove completely. “Police Commissioner [Byron] Lockwood has launched an investigation into why not one officer present thought to respond with some baking soda and peroxide, a handkerchief soaked in club soda, or even just a quick surface wipe to keep the blood from seeping into the cement and leaving a permanent mark on our city. The lack of respect shown for this piece of municipal property—which had just been power-washed last week at taxpayer expense—is frankly disgraceful. Rest assured, these two officers will receive additional training in the department’s specialized mopping drills before they are reinstated.” Brown added that his thoughts and prayers were with the city employees working to cover up the blood splotches as best they could.

Red3Biggs I'll only except 🤔 Fired 😁

So good ! HAHA. Now can you write about the 57 crooked cops who resigned from a task force?

I’m sorry but that officer is an Idiot! The man is 75 years old! Can’t do that.

ANARCHY, eventually may be the only solution, if people WILL NOT LISTEN

it was a con job

They violated OSHA regulations

TheOnion thinks the officers would have been punished and not the guy bleeding from his head. That IS satire!

I stand with Buffalo Police. Clearly they didn’t mean to hurt the old guy. Old guy shouldn’t have been there. DO NOT DEMONIZE GOOD POLICEMEN!

KnightGambit Fire them instead than arrest them

aLL SiDeWaLkS MaTtEr

That satire is searing

icecube TreySongz they side walk! NOOOOOO! 🤣🤣

Can anyone tell me if the man ended up being taken to a hospital? Is he ok? I watched the viedo yesterday and it left me feeling sick, but i havent been able to find any other information.

Miiiiiiiiggggghhhhttttt be a bit too edgy on that one :-/

Police better apologize to that white sidewalk or else

The buffalo has roamed these clean streets for thousands of years, suspension to whomever come to soil it is just proper reaction

when a satire news outlet is more trustworthy than actual news, something has gone wrong :,D

KkkorruptAndRacistAsHell

This is a bad take honestly.I know you guys like going to the edge and sometimes a bit over but we don't want this man's suffering be associated with a satire.take it down a notch on this.

You do Mark Twain proud.

That Blood could hold live saving plasma . . it's like shredding a possible big hugly winning lotto ticket.. just at the moment the winning numbers are being named.. turning off the engine just outside the atmosphere..

Too soon. I get it, wait too long and it's no longer funny, but the whole funny because it's true shtick isn't gonna work for a while.

Too far!

The Schutzstaffel are on the move.

That's not funny

Expected.

You've been on a roll lately but phew

Khuze_Elikhulu This is not funny

Too soon, man, too soon.

We are in the middle of a pandemic. It's dangerous to go around putting blood on stuff. I hope they learned their lesson

holy shit

Exactly. This is the exact reaction we get from NYCMayor more concerned with property than people. The bs slaps on the wrists of nypd goons while all week footage of their abuses are everywhere.

The old fool got in face of the smallest cop, grabbed at him, got pushed away and lost his balance. End of story

Buffalo Police Suspend Two Officers Over Video Showing Elderly Man Pushed To The GroundThe police department initially claimed that the man had tripped and fallen, but was forced to act after video of the incident went viral. I hear the elderly man is in critical condition. They should be fired and charged, not just get a slap on their wrists. That's not enough They should also be charged with assault. They assaulted him and neglected to practice follow up care. We all saw it.
