WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Video shows two police officers in Buffalo, New York, shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground. The sound of a crack is heard and blood trickles from the man’s head

The video taken by a reporter from local public radio station WBFO and posted on its website and Twitter account shows the white-haired man approaching a line of officers in riot gear. One officer pushes him with a baton and a second one with his hand. The sound of a crack is heard and then blood trickles from the man’s head. The man, who is white, is not identified.

The incident drew widespread condemnation on social media as protesters returned to the streets of several U.S. cities to demonstrate against police brutality. The video in Buffalo shows the majority of the officers march past after the man falls, though the officer who pushed him with a baton starts to lean over him before he is motioned away by another officer. Someone is heard calling for a medic.

And yet it's ok to loot stores and bash old ladies in the head in with a board...🤔🤔🤔

They need to be fired!

Gvv

There will be a day when those cops need help, people will walk by.

If you fall hard enough that blood instantly comes flooding out your ear, you should have blood coming from were-you-hit-your-head! The ear is just a good place to hide your 'effects'. Liars caught lying...again.

Fake and gay

Suspended!!!! THEY NEED FIRED! A cranial fracture for what!

Sick and disgusting, totally unacceptable.

They're clearing the area, that's why they're in this formation. You do not stop when you're in this formation, you keep moving forward. He walks up. He is told to move. He does not move. Next he gets a slight shove. He goes off balance badly and fails to catch his fall.

No matter where, police violence should be condemned.Pray for the old man's health.

Fake news, Reuters. You just keep proving Trump's point and marching towards your demise.

common sense and civility has gone out by a flight from USA

swiss_miss_73 Omg so disgusting what these gangs are aloud to do. That is someone’s grandfather. I’m glad it was on camera

ITS FAKE PEOPLE ...WAKE UP ...FAKE BLOOD AND HE HAD IT FILLED IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD TO BE RELEASED AT THE RIGHT MOMENT ....CRISIS ACTING PEOPLE ........ITS FAKE ...FAKE BLOOD YOU CAN SEE THE TUBE BEHIND HIS EAR BESIDE THE MASK STRINGS

What specie of animals are we employing as police officers in the world today? There was a time when policemen cared and protected.

FYI seniors reverse gear is not very good

AND THEY LEFT HIM THERE?!

Meanwhile in France. 2 year were fighting. Saty strong.

The man shouldn’t of been there it was past the curfew what are these people doing out.

Darrell33857181 here you go

As long as this keeps happening we should keep protesting.

Weird how all the “good cops” just strolled on by

Is he okay? That doesn’t look good

DownloaderBot

What the hell officer - ( old men now too)?!! This guy must quit his job.

This is bullshit. The man is obstructing the officers in the performance and they’re duty. He’s doing it intentionally, and he gets pushed back and loses his balance and falls. That is not the officers fault! The second officer is then on the radio obviously calling for a medic.

Who makes a -75- year old protests must be in his quiet home?

Was it Joe Biden lost again? 🤭

Stop attacking the elderly! Idgaf if you're a protester, cop or the fucking easter bunny, leave 70 year olds alone!

And leaving him floored with his skull split open . Absolute scumbags

The video is very disturbing to watch, I wish the US police will learn to respect their citizens most especially elderly in their society

Old habits.....

WOW AND GET THE OTHERS WHO JUST WALKED BY AND DID NOTHING!

I see AT LEAST 2 cops that need to be in jail NOW!!!!

Land of the freaks, home of the graves.

....suspended

Now can we have white lives matter protest? Or will that be called racist also? You want to stop racism stop alienating yourselves! You arent 'African American' you are 'Amercan' stop with 'Black lives matter' instead of ALL LIVES MATTER. Stop systemically segregating yourselves!

those cops are the criminal with badge, PERIOD! they have to be charged and executed, and never ever believe their 'kneeing' propaganda at one day and doing the brutality at the next day, they should be REFORMED! this is so disturbing!

The real thugs!

USA lost its credibility and righteousness to attack any nation in the name of democracy and liberty.

Could not be more disturbing if you tried. That’s the point, isn’t it. dizzy

And you think with a microscope on everything cops are doing they all would have common sense... At least the one cop stopped the other cup from hitting the old man...

PoliceBrutality is everywhere. Thats why A well developed democratic system is important.

those cops are the criminal with badge, PERIOD! they have to be charged and executed, and never ever believe their 'kneeing' propaganda at one day and doing the brutality at the next day, they should be REFORMED!

It’s not about black or white. It’s about the election.

How would they feel if it was someone they loved being treated like this. Absolutely no excuses, even watching them walk around him shows such contempt

Looks fake.

Today I am ashamed to say is was a member of the thin blue line I served my community with impartiality curtesy and respect except when the situation demanded force and yes sometimes justified violence. What I just witness is thuggish I hope all officers present are ashamed

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 Achtung dies is ein Fake Video .... der Mann ist Schauspieler und das Blut ist künstlich .... er ist keine 75 Jahre alt .... Achtung Fake 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

...and then they just walk past him, leaving him there

The commanding officer did not have any firm control of his men. The potential to execute force, must be kept under strict control. When you don´t, you get this kind of football hooligan-hive mind behavior.

Trump insighting violence against his own people, Police Brutality and people wonder why we protest. Wake Up America

Yes a bit aggressive but 1. Why is a 75 yr man involved 2. What was he grabbing at on the officer. Fake you

Fascist thugs.

What struck me most was that the entire squad just walked on by and left him on the ground. That caused me chills.

Fired would be better. Charged with assault would be aces. A clear abuse of power, a disregard for human life, and blatantly ignoring the ‘protect and serve’ thing. Give a person a club and they’re bound to swing it.

Suspended🤬 they should be charged with grievous bodily harm with potential to upgrade that charge depending on that poor man’s future condition.

Animals

Wo ist die Menschlichkeit geblieben,was ist mit den Menschen los?! Und alle lauffen an dem armen Mann vorbei wie das normal Wäre!!Bis endlich ein Militär doch noch Herz zeigt und dem verletzten hilft!!Ich schäme mich ein Mensch zu sein..

Que horror!

We should demand a psychiatric exam of all officers. Clearly most who get in this line are work should be at flipping burgers not protecting citizens.

So sad

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Video shows a policeman Officer in France, Paris, shoving a 72-year-old man to the ground. 2019/01/05 GiletsJaunes YellowVests

Polizei Alltag. Nicht nur in USA.

Lainalovicht WTF

When the world devoid of humanity .. Elephant

No respect for life... I hope these 'police men' get what they deserve...

OMG the old man even didn’t do nothing

To be more accurate, 'blood was instantly running freely from his ears' -- not merely 'trickling from his head' after it cracked onto the pavement underneath him, following the shove received from police.

WTF...

Let's not hinder our officers ability to defend themselves, the gent clearly had something in his hands, was reaching out grabbing at the officers. Its called self defense, let's make sure our officers stay safe. CommonSense

I’m a fan of the cops most of the time, not in George’s or this old mans. Where is our/their humanity? That could be your grandpa getting pushed! Who pushes a senior and then keeps walking You wouldn’t stop immediately

They all belong in jail.

georgegalloway UNCHR Principle 26 obedience to superior orders shall not be a defense for violations committed by the police. Trial in absentia at the Hague is possible

georgegalloway UNCHR Principle 24 Governments & law enforcement agencies shall ensure that superior officers are held responsible if they know, or should have known, that law enforcement officials under their command are resorting to the unlawful use of force & firearms,

What religion follow these criminals? 👎🏼

Tell me again how and WHO the police are protecting and serving

georgegalloway International community is monitoring. Prosecution under international law UN Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials (CCLEO)1979 and UN Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials (BPUFF) 1990

Does anyone know if the guy survived that?

hey this from another article u did on China 'The Chinese Communist Party's slaughter of unarmed Chinese civilians was a tragedy that will not be forgotten,' the White House said.'

georgegalloway Appalling abuse of power

This is beyond ridiculous. Regardless of anything going on in the world at this point - how is this acceptable?

You confront and threaten with your big and tall body, you asked for it. If nowadays people can take advantage of pushing and attacking the officers, then people don’t follow no one, only their rule? Chaos, social out of order.

Make America Go back again?

A C A B !!!!!!!!!!!!!

and that's why people don't like cops

There is the perpetrator ... watch the video closely ... if this victim dies he is responsible ... murder

Frightening response once the guy hits the ground. What was he doing approaching marching riot police? Wonder what he said to them…doubt he was asking directions

Cold-blooded. Must have learned it from the Hong Kong Police

Amazing. As a doctor I can not imagine that situation. Older man , bleeding on floor and police ran away

😲😨

Fake

ههههه خرس العفن الدوليه و حقوق الارهاب

Hearthless!

If my son tells me he wants to be a police when he grows up I will disown him

YourAnonRiots FUCKKKK YOUUUUUU HAVE RESPECT YOU FUCKEN PIGS

Are cops not learning anything?

this is so upsetting

Are you kidding me Buffalo! After all the reports of Police and excessive force. You critically hurt a elderly man. I don’t see him as a threat! Disgusting

realDonaldTrump

MarkSleboda1 ....yeah....but they got an emt and sent him to the hospital....but do the thugs that are looting do that for their victms?...your reporting is beyond contempt....

AstroHardin Put these assholes in jail

Oh my God, one problem not being solved yet, another victim fall😐

Está sangrando hijos de la gran puta!

If he was so frailwhy was he there in a dangerous situation,why did he touch a cop, why did he not move back when directed?

Where is the human right?

Not one police officer stops to help. It took a national guard to help this man. WTF

Mother fuckers

As you can see the man CLEARLY 'tripped and fell' as the 2 PIGS.... ahem I mean officers were trying to catch him on the way down.

Does anyone know how the gentleman is doing?

Tell these monsters that There is only one God .

How is this elder man now? Horrible

The bunch of those officers should be charged...

So many just walk by the man! This video will be studied by social scientists for a hundred years.

Disgusting

The cold blood policemen just walked away and no one tried to give a hand?

Not saying this wasn't bad, but the police are on edge. Las Vegas police officer shot in the head June 2 and is on life support. A police captain in St. Louis killed last night after bleeding out on a sidewalk. Numerous other officers injured some seriously. Approach with caution

Poor man😔😔realDonaldTrump BarackObama HillaryClinton JoeBiden

Now anyone with a sense of humanity would help this man. 😠

Gone past rage! Absolutely heartbroken!

Wtaf?!!!! Inhuman.

Any way, Trump will be the president for the coming 4 years.

¿Este es el país de la libertad?

Going far? Was that necessary, someone is about to get fired and a lawsuit is on the way. They are not longer using their brain just as well as those looting 🤦🏻‍♂️

TRUMPS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS

This is horrible...please is he going to be fine

The old man is the initial aggressor. Let's not make him out to be a victim when he was aggressing against two LEO's. What they should have done was arrest him on the spot and sit him down somewhere. The fact that he stumbled backward is as a result of two pushes by two LEO's.

This going to happen when u trained them like militia

USAbilAraby USEmbassyQ8 Is this what u call The American Dream!!

Can we please stop saying 'police'. They are regime forces, who aren't allowed to think for themselves or show compassion. The police protect, everyday I see these forces brutally attack and violate the rights of Americans. You saw them. Should I help? Nope. Back to work. Sick.

Some white cops are insane

I don’t know everything. There might be a conversation I don’t know. However I cannot accept that fact that nobody immediately went to help the person who was bleeding. What kind of group of people behave like that... what kind of mentality and system encourage this behavior?

Watch the army men check the guy that the police ignored. Big difference, armies protect their people police kill them. Criminals are made not born.

Is it NY or is it Istanbul?

Just a mild push but a high impact ! How? Pre planned ? Anyway, hope he is fine !

Look at the personnel. Cops push and almost kill the man and any cop with a conscience tows the line again with the group. Only dude who checks first is the soldier who isn’t conditioned by the corrupt, go-down-with-the-group police culture. That’s what the protest are about.

US cops are like the lowest scum on earth. Hope they fix this bad rep.

One 75yr old man and how many police were there!! How on earth are we supposed to show respect for this profession, disgusting behaviour!

Now imagine the kind of shit Americans do when they invade other countries, and no one is filming

one cop is approaching him for help, the other is blocking him because the man holding the banner is more important

Did he survive?

Police officers or thugs?

Young or old if you mess with the bull you get the horns.

Is there any difference of this with NASI?

Disgraceful. Fire the bastard wearing the uniform. He's not worthy to serve the people.

WTF 🤬 sie lassen ihn einfach auf dem Boden liegen und gehen alle an ihm vorbei?

“serve and protect” themselves

Simply unbelievable... it gets worse every day

That is so sad :(

Horrific!

Cruelty

Scum

They will never learn

That is barbarian and un humane.

Serve and Protect needs a Reboot. 🤔

Not one of these cops stopped to check him. They deserve to be called pigs.

Living the American Dream

Esta sangrando. Madre mía. Que asesinos son.

..God...have mercy on all of us

F you! Finish your shift at PD and go to your home to put the gun in your mouth to make yourself feel better and this world a better place after what you did, POS!

Police is a cult that needs to be dismantled, Simple! They will protect each other no matter what. Just look at how this police officer is protecting the officer that pushed this old man. What do you expect when they have to investigate themselves?

Insane!

Every. Single. One. Of. Those. ‘Officers of the law’ is complicit in that mans life threatening injuries. Throw the whole lot of them out on their arses. Fecking vile action and inaction. KeepRecording PoliceThePolice

That's attempted murder.

Afrika_Pele Oh man😢..Hurting old people just coz they don't hate black people as much as you..It's 2020 guys,no nation is an island.

They did the same in Catalonia. Police all around the globe are the same: violent bacteria.

Rule

republican style ,,, Zionist

Mother fuckers

It's so sad....Thank goodness people take videos. Hope that granpa lives. Don't know what to say dammit. Stay cool guys and DON'T hate everyone, just because 1 man's brutal. Hold on granpa. 3 3

God curse on them

WTF!!

there’s another angle that keeps disappearing. Please find it! The crack of the poor man’s head is incredibly audible from across the street. Some of the cops brake line just after this vid cuts off. The true story is terrible so let’s tell it accurate to a T

Damn!!! America Going back to the old Stone Age!!!!

we are living in a crazy world

This is disgraceful nobody can defend that and the police in America wander why they’re hated so much!

yeah look its a soldier that first stopped, calls to his team mate (another soldier) and both stop to render first aid. Big difference between Armed Forces and Corporate Security Guards erhm Police.

😠😠😠😠

The old man died from his injuries according to a post from 2019? wtf?

white lives matter!!

This was indeed awful. Follow PoliceBrutalityPandemic and see far more horrific injuries. Several journalists were hit with rubber bullets and two lost their eye from the injury.

Damn. He dead.

He didnt get a beat down. He didn’t get shot. He didnt get suffocated with a knee to the neck. If he was black he would’ve been beat by several cops or shot dead. His white privilege had him certain he could walk up on those cops without fear. Whoops, not this time.

Ok this is strange the date of this post says updated Nov. 13th 2019. wtf?

This is extremely unfortunate

And they just keep walking past without missing a beat. Police brutality ironically rampant at a protest against police brutality.

这难道是标榜民主人权的美国吗?简直毫无人性!

What a very sad country to have to live in...!

That is sad. Wrong place, wrong time.

They do this stuff to trap the police, get nice videos for more gas lighting

Shouldn’t have been there

😥😥

Proetcting the people should be kept first mantra to police. Add a lesson in police training

Imagine all the times no one is recording. The PD had originally reported this guy tripped and fell.

And then walking past him without rendering aid. That’s who the BPDAlerts are. They also lied about this incident - their account stated that he ‘tripped backwards’. The two officers are only now being suspended because this video went viral and they had to admit it.

usa police caught on video with policebrutality and tries to prevent further video recording of the crime.

Did the man live? Were the police responsible arrested?

There is no humanity left in governments; it is a sad century we live in.

To serve and protect.. themselves

Please,what is wrong with white people? Why are they so violent?

easy squeezy blood packets for ear 😎

Be careful who you blindly support. Not everything is what it seems...

Not acceptable!! They don’t even attempt to help him!

FAKE

Imagine what the police do off camera. Imagine what they learned from the military who also work off camera.

Disturbing , on so many levels.

Giving a whole new meaning to police brutality ?

He tried to reach the officer gun.
