Two police officers have been suspended in Buffalo, New York, after knocking down an elderly man during protests

Police gather on 5th Avenue and 59th Street in New York on June 4. CNN

After a day of mostly peaceful protests, the last remaining group of Manhattan demonstrators spent the past few hours marching north, starting from the lower end of Midtown up toward Central Park. Officers then began making arrests without any warning or announcement beforehand, Prokupecz said, estimating the police numbered in the hundreds.

SUSPENDED They should be FIRED and can NEVER be an officer again anywhere...not even mall security! let that sink in🤔

Alright!!

Sad!!

Yes it sucks but guess what. They were clearing the street, he didn't listen and came up to them. You see at one point he reaches out at the arm of one. Even 75 year old have to follow a lawful order of the cops.

We need new leadership in the White House because All lives matter, ppl please vote

Good!! They should be fired and every officer that walked past him without rendering aid should be suspended without pay, as well. It seems the protests have meant nothing to any of those officers

Suspended what a joke . Should be fired

That's Justice

Can we say a “white” elderly man

They have to be jailed for what they did.

They should be fired.

This is getting out of hand. Sooo sad!

Police just don't get it!! Isn't 😠

Need to be charged with aggravated assault

Charge those cops asap. Assholes need to be dealt with. I cant believe the cops acted like this to a human being

They should be fired. That man could have died. Sidewalks aren't exactly made out of pillows. Man was their bleeding. So yes, they should be arrested and charged with Attempted Murder.

Suspended.. excuse me? They should be fired and arrested for assualt

Fire them

Good

Suspended? What about fired?

Happy to take the resignation of all of those officers if they condone what was done Fraternal order of police can not help them since they resigned

PaulaNevesD They should be arrested, and then suspended

Suspended without pay I hope. Not acceptable behavior by law enforcement.

Why are they not arrested? If he had done the same to the cops he would have been charged with a felony!

They should be fired

Suspended? For knocking down and man and marching over his body while blood pours from his head? Those are people we are expected to call for help when in danger? BS. They could lose there jobs and face assault charges.

Did they charge then with assault or attempted manslaughter?

Funny way to spell fired

Not enough. I saw the video. They push the elder old man and he hits his head on pavement and bleeds out - AS THOSE SAME COPS STAND OVER HIM THIS IS ENOUGH. THEY HAVE TO DO TIME.

Suspended? wtf BuffaloNY buffalopd

This is assault on a senior citizen, charge them

They did attempted murder. Our government is a joke. The authoritarian government is oppressing the people

Throw them in jail! Debate the issue while they fucking stew behind bars. ALCAB a lotta cops are bad.

That should be a jail time

Maybe can ANTIFA safe the people idiots.

Suspended? You mean vacation?

CRIMINALS IN UNIFORMS!!

Hope he sues the hell out of the Buffalo SS!

There is a war going on with our police officers being screamed at and provoked every night. They are tired and things are going to happen more often if things don’t settle down.

Is this America ?

Race baiting. Only reports what the police are doing.

Good. They are unfit to wear that uniform. They’re nothing more than thugs.

Unlike is FAKE STAGED shit, this is REAL police brutality! 👇🏻

Fake or not... Don't let that distract you from the fact that they brutally knocked off an old man to the ground and no one did a thing to help him

I would most certainly expect so

FIRE THEM. SUSPEND?!? Yeah right. BYE.

not good enough they should be fired and charged

They had no business in pushing him as hard as they did, he didn't come to them aggressively.

suspended

Arrest the one who push him !!!!!!

BPDAlerts I thought he tripped and fell?

BPDAlerts Terminate them. Stop being luke warm about police brutality. They need to be dismissed immediately! NYGovCuomo GeorgeFloyd

and three others praised for helping a peaceful protester who got hit with a brick. But you won't see that on PropagandaNews

Bullies should be fired! Only excuse for knocking down an unarmed elderly citizen would be because someone is firing live rounds at him, which they were not. Police brutality is real.

Suspension is insufficient. They should have already been arrested. Pity officers are held to a much lower standard than the rest of us.

Especially the one that stopped another one from going down to help the bleeding old man

Canada is looking like a mighty fine place to raise my kids, now.

It didn’t take much. Maybe you shouldn’t be that close to the action if you are that frail.

Sadly...mercy Lord🙌

We need to carve a pound of flesh from them

They should be fired!

Fire them!

😭

Yep saw that video. So so wrong of them

They should be under arrest. Do those cops not have Dads, grandpas? Shameful.

I hate CNN!

They need to be terminated and charged

Just seen the video there. It is heartbreaking. 2 more to go to prison imo. We need to start holding people responsible for their actions. Not only did they push him, they left him lying ther with his head cracked and bleeding from the ear, no concern for his life whatsoever.

Suspended? Suspended? Suspended? That is NOT enough!

They should all be suspended. They all walked on by an injured person and did NOTHING. Brutality. No human decency. My God. Buffalo to us Niagara kids was a second home when we were young. Just beyond the pale.

They need charged, arrested & convicted!

What about all the others who just walked passed him and did nothing?! Where is the humanity! They should all be ashamed

Suspended? How about fired? With all that's going on they haven't felt the need to adjust their behavior.

I'm confused😕. why is it that only two people got fired? as far as I'm concerned all of them should have gotten fired or suspended. They all walked by, doing absolutely nothing. I thought there was supposed to help and support especially at this dire time and needs.😠

OKAY BUT HOW ABOUT ALL OF THE OTHER OFFICERS WHO WALKED PAST HIM AND LISTENED TO THE BAD APPLES INSTEAD OF DO THEIR DUTY?

So if your a cop and you assault an elderly man you get a vacation? Are police a higher class of citizens than the rest of us?

This is BS!!! He was pushed, shoved, and fell because of it he was bleeding from his ear! None of the police bothered to stop and checked on him. They should fired and then charged!

Not good enough

Why not fired!!!!!!

Naw where the assault at ?

Do the police have anything to value at all? What about ‘Values’? They deserve more than firing!

Suspended Fire them, now!!

Call the mayor and demand that Officer Torgalski and the other suspended officer involved are arrested; not merely suspended: 716-851-484 mayorcity-buffalo.com

Suspended?!! Are you fucking kidding me?!! Sick!!!

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Just a shame alongside people need to change things is vote all black people need to do is die, to even deny the system

At least 30 walked by him not helping should be fired asap.Racist thugs in uniform.Russian wanna be.

Hey CNN, let’s stop whipping things up UR causing more deaths. It was wrong Floyd was killed and all 4 cops should be arrested. Unfortunately the death rate of people killed by police is matched to the % of the races

The should be fired and put on trial for assault.

Every officer there who walked by that injured man should be suspended and the officer who pushed him should be fired and arrested for assault. They are a disgrace!

😥🙏🏻

This is flat out disgusting. We call these guys heros? Hahahahaha

Suspended That’s it👹

They should be charged with attempted murder.

Here we go thats the problem... Fired and charged! That's what we want!

Arrest those two policemen to show the basic respect to the old man,plz.

Because walking towards a group of men in riot gear is smart?

Real urban barbarians.

Imagine the way their minds work

Should be fired

That was just terrible to see. It's happening in Florida to.

Should be fired.

Welcome to the new TRUM-PUTIN America...

Кто-то верит в это?

They should be charged !!!

This is a time when the world needs more kindness and understanding. Peaceful protesters have every bit as much right to protest as anyone walking the streets. Buffalo you are my hometown. Stand together and help one another.

Fake News=CNN

An elderly white man. Since when do we leave our pertinent details?

Why are people provoking police officers right now? It seems like people are baiting them to do wrongs and catching it on video. Police need to be more moral than public as a rule but society seems to be baiting them right now..

JRadloff Sorry suspension is not even close to being enough.

They should be arrested for assault and battery with life threatening injuries. Why were they only put on leave without pay? Put them in jail, charge them, put them in prison for at least 2 yrs. If this elderly man has injuries that will affect the rest of life, longer.

Can anyone else do this at their work and just ne suspended? With pay?

They should be charged !

Suspension is not enough. Any police officer that has shown a propensity to brutalize a member of the public, has broken their oath to protect & serve. There are many videos of police being abusive to peaceful protestors. What do they do when there are no cameras? Fire them!

Why are they not fired immediately?

Disgusting pigs. How dare they treat people like that. Are there any decent cops in America?

And shouldn’t have been out there

They need to be MORE then suspended!!!

American police appear to fascists. Do they just recruit anyone? Look at the state. Do they just say, you’re too fat for your uniform but here’s a gun, go and power trip and do some cowardly shit?

Good they should have, these are the bad cops and needs to get off the police force, come on you see and know the bad ones fired,

They shoved an elderly man, saw him bleeding, and wouldn’t allow anyone else to get to him to help. Suspension isn’t enough for this type of violence.

They need to be charged with a crime and pay restitution for this man’s injuries.

They need to be fired

What would happen if someone did that to a cop. It wouldnt be some lame suspention like this jerk is getting. He should be fired.

SUSPENDED?! THEY SHOULD BE FIRED! WHAT A DISGRACE TO THE UNIFORM AND NY. THIS BULLSHIT NEEDS TO END AND THINGS BEED TO CHANGE WITHIN THE SYSTEM. YOU SHOW THIS KIND OF BRUTALITY YOU SHOULD NEVER WEAR THE UNIFORM AGAIN

Several policemen got stabbed and got shot by the rioters. I hope you reporter go to visit their families, especially their children 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You see, there's no systemic racism in the police force. Police brutality goes to everyone and anyone. So can we stop the protests now.

Are they also suspending the spokesperson for lying out of his ass about the man “tripping and falling during a skirmish”?

Suspended? Let me guess with pay. The system is a joke.

Why did he even approach the police in that scenario?

Just suspended?

Trump told police 'don't be nice.'

Not ‘knocking’...’shoving’ a clearly elderly man

Get your knee off our necks!

Only 2 officers Dozens walked right by him!!!! Why only 2? Nauseating

If this is what they are doing to old white men, then Americans have no chance..

CNN get it right they pushed him 🙄

What about the rest that did not look out to help? 😢

Innocent hardworking policeman are now losing their jobs because of stupid protesters going out of their way to mock them!

They should be arrested for assault🙄

Suspended!! BPDAlerts if this was anyone else they would be in jail!!! Unacceptable

democracy does not work. communism was a better system. it is quiet in russia and china there is no democracy

Should be fired.

Every ”officer” that walked past that man should face the same charges

They shouldn’t have pushed that older gentleman, but to make it worse, none of the other cops did anything to POS that pushed him, he’s obviously not hurting anybody.... why TF are the cops there anyway

These photos show how HKPoliceTerrorists treat the elderly. These HKPoliceTerrorists did not get punished for their evildoings!

I should think so too 😡😡

IAMJustLetitia And charged with?

Try paying your mortgage now, c•nts

Thats worthless. MURDERER. acab

I live in Buffalo. This happens here all the time. We had an officer literally just get away w murder! CNN please give this a lot of attention & put a spot light on this city. It might help authorities to act right! Until the video came up we were told he 'tripped'

Its the fact they just walk past him and dont give a shit when you can hear his head hit the floor and he starts bleeding and they dont even bat an eye lid! Scum bags

But the good thing is, there is a reaction to those videos.

What about all the others that just walked by cowards

And if he died from head injury, those cops should be charge with murder...

Looked like attempted murder to me

And yet the others just step over his lifeless body as he bled from his ears. How is it that only two are suspended and the others get to keep beating peaceful protesters? There should be a dozen suspended. To protect and serve is clearly bullshit. BlackLivesMatter

Buffalo should be ashamed

Blacks are wild people. But why do white people riot? Do they have a sharp class hatred of millionaires? They realized that they had been deceived all their lives and that there was never freedom in the USA? Why don't they join the socialist Marxist party?

They need to be arrested and fired and the other officers around him that did not hi thing should have been suspended. What the hell?

WTF USA What the actual fuck?!

They need to be fired and get their asses kicked too.

Not FIRED? Just SUSPENDED. WTF

Thank you to the people video taping things like this they also help alot

Every officer who stood by and failed to assist are as guilty as the ones who assaulted the poor guy, every last one should be fired, charged and imprisoned.

Coming from someone who has a 70 year old mother, doing something like this is disgusting & horrid. They should be fired & charged. Enough said & that is all.

Fire them.

Suspension isn't enough

What about the rest of the officers who neither stopped to offer aid to the man nor offered any manner of rebuke to the officers who pushed him? “Protect and serve” my ass.

It was a bad seen..

They will never learn. That tells a lot about the system

That was a disgrace. What about the cop who battered the camera man with the edge of his shield who wasn’t posing any threat to anyone. realDonaldTrump

Don't forget the part about initially lying to cover for him and stating that he tripped and fell. Apparently gravity was particularly spiteful with the elderly gentleman and decided to change force parameters just in his square meter of space

They should be fired immediately fuck a suspension

Fire them who ever thinks it’s ok to push the elderly around doesn’t deserve to wear the badge. They don’t even have the wisdom to understand he could easily fall over let alone crack his head the ground

FIRE AND ARREST THEM!

Don’t touch the police!

Qanon is claiming he was wearing a fake blood pack on the back of his head. Yes they really are saying that.

So an army of cops is overwhelmed by a old man so a need of Force is needed by 3 fit officers and the enforcer from behind ordering the push ? Could of been a much better way to handle it.Should of detained him like they did the younger guy after that. Orders are orders. Period

suspended......they need to be fired

Should be arrested for blatant police brutality. You know, most big cities have security cameras out on their streets, be wise for the Governors and Mayors of these cities hell yes, the media to review tapes, all areas and see that this crap with their cops common place.

Suspended. Charge them with felony assault.

And dozens of bystanders doing nothing, nothing ...

and guess what no one protested for him did they

this makes my blood boil

If this is not jail time, then nothing is jail time...!

They should be fired! When they're old and someone treats them the same way, I sincerely hope that they remember what they did!!

They all need to be fired!!!

They should be fired!

Read somewhere he was allegedly trying to return one of their helmets!!!!😡😡

Need to be fired ... not just suspended ... ridiculous behavior by those cops .. shame

Disgusting

well you people are complete idiots!!!!

What are the requirements to hire these spineless dog police? Is it go fetch? Is it sit? Is it bite? If yes you get badge and taxpayer funded $80k a year with benefits and retirement. Some education is not enough. They need to be screened for expanded psychiatric evaluation.

SUSPENDED?!!! Not good enough

As per Trump all protestors are terrorist.

That video just shows the inability of the cops to police themselves and hold themselves accountable. If they could hold them selves just as accountable as regular citizens those men who pushed him should of been removed from duty right then& eventually fired n charged w/ assault

I cant believe through all of this - little to no action has been taken, we're really living in a video game this is insane

Suspended!?! If a normal person were to do what the cop did it would be assault and you could make a claim for attempted murder. Suspended... go fuck yourself BPDAlerts You want the protest to end, but aren't willing to change to help them end. Bet he still gets paid too...

They need to be fired. If they will do this in the public eye in front of cameras and masses of witnesses but citizens and cops what will they do when no no cameras or people are there to witness

Just suspended? He must be charged with first degree murdering a man and must be executed for his action. This is what justice is.

They don’t give a damn who they hurt, that was so awful.. trump must go for the benefit of 🇺🇸

太殘忍了,他就是位長者,不應受到如此對待

Fire them

What about the 10 or 20 cops that just walked right past him like he was nothing? Are those GOOD cops?

Make em pay for his medical Bill's while you're at it

Fire them! Charge them with attempted murder!

You see some of them are f__king ridiculous with brutality, this officer should be fired. Do they have any morale conscious? This was an elderly gentleman. How would he like someone to push his father or grandfather down and give them a brain jury. Motherflucker!!

Fire them all! Each and everyone who walked past the poor man!! Flush the toilet now!!

Thank you

You misspelled “arrested and charged”.

He's in stable condition in the hospital. I feel horrible for him, but elderly people should not be confronting the police. Let's be honest, a younger person would still be standing if shoved that same way. Peacefully protest, but use common sense.

Chinese government officials

If was horrible to watch,especially when his head hit the ground and went all rigid,I thought they'd killed him .Just appalling behavior.

Fired and charged with assault

He gets paid an awful lot to be shitty at his job Buffalo BuffaloNY protests

More Chinese propaganda.

Suspension ? Who would push 75 year old man to death ? This guy may die mostly likely. His skull is crashed. This is unacceptable !!

Trumps America

Jerri_Lynn25 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Just 2? A whole fucking posse of police on patrol did NOTHING to help that man! Many walked right the fuck over him! It's so great to watch police brutality in the wake of protesting police brutality! CanIGetAnAMEN ?

Suspended That’s manslaughter!

pizzmoe There were three of them that did this.

好像香港警队从来没有惩处过滥用暴力吧?

So do we burn down all Precincts nationwide? Will that get the fucking message across?

they need to be fired and arrested

I’d say that’s assault

and they think civilians never learn?

K now charge them

Are these people fucking tone def Seriously?

There’s a petition to get the cop fired.

Similar to an incident in Utah. The officer was fired today.

Are you serious... They should be fired, arrested and charged with assault...

News break. Tens of thousands of rioters looted stores, beat people up and shot and also killed civilians and police.

Why have they not been charged with criminal assault and fired?

Tremendous vetting CNN. Keeping up with your reputation.

The must be fired and he needs to sue. That was unbelievable.

* forcefully shoving an elderly man backwards

KNOCKING DOWN? This is not KNOCKING DOWN. Jesus.

They need to be arrested as do all of the others who walked by his body. They are sworn to protect and serve, not assault and abandon

I guess that’s a little better than “He tripped”. That push alone could’ve cost this man his life. And they all just cavalierly walked past. Just like the silent officers who did nothing for George Floyd.

THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED AND PUT IN JAIL!!

Trump is encouraging law enforcement to acquire 'thug like behavior.'

that's a horrible murder

The national guard showed more empathy than the cops
